Hospitals were given a license to kill when the PREP Act was passed in 2020. That is how they so boldly turned patients away who were sick, committed atrocities with ventilators, denied lifesaving ivermectin, hydroxychloroquin, etc.
Demand that Congress repeal this at once.
From a recent New York court decision:

“PREP, upon which South Nassau principally relies, was initially promulgated by congress in 2005 in response to the SARS epidemic “[i]n order to encourage the use of products, drugs, and devices designed to address epidemics and pandemics” which are approved by the Federal Drug Administration, and imbues the Secretary of Health and Human Services (hereinafter the “Secretary”) with the “authority to make declarations that have the effect of conferring immunity on certain persons from federal and state liability” (Shapnik v Hebrew Home for Aged at Riverdale, 535 F.Supp.3d 301, 304 [SDNY 2021]).
As relevant here, 42 USC § 247d-6d (a) (1) provides, in pertinent part, that “a covered person shall be immune from suit and liability under Federal and State law with respect to all claims for loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration to or the use by an individual of a covered countermeasure if a declaration …has been issued with respect to such countermeasure.” Relatedly, 42 USC § 247d-6d (a)(2)(B) provides, in relevant part, that “[t]he immunity under paragraph (1) applies to an claim for loss that has a causal relationship with the administration to or use by an
individual of a covered countermeasure, including a causal relationship with the…administration…of such countermeasure.”
The PREP Act is still in effect. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) extended certain authorities and liability protections under the PREP Act until December 2024. This includes immunity for pharmacists, pharmacy interns, and pharmacy technicians administering COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccines, as well as COVID-19 tests.
