Bruesewitz v. Wyeth LLC, 562 U.S. 223 (2011)
Supreme Court of the United States (Scalia, J., writing for the majority)
United States Reports ยท 2011
In plain language
US Supreme Court held 6-2 that the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 preempts state-law design-defect claims against vaccine manufacturers, meaning manufacturers generally cannot be sued for a vaccine's design even if a safer alternative design existed. This is a legal liability ruling, not a scientific finding about vaccine safety or vaccine-autism causation.
