Vaccines are currently the only product in America you can't sue over, so state glyphosate immunity laws would make it the second.

The finding

What the evidence shows

Vaccine liability is restricted, not eliminated: the federal statute generally requires an eligible injury claimant to petition the compensation program before certain civil actions. Separately, Monsanto v. Durnell blocks the state failure-to-warn claim at issue through federal labeling preemption; that is narrower than immunity from every pesticide lawsuit. Neither record establishes that these are the only two protected product categories.

Quick answer & review status

Quick answer

Is it true that Vaccines are currently the only product in America you can't sue over, so state glyphosate immunity laws would make it the second?

Partly. The claim stretches what the evidence shows. Vaccine liability is restricted, not eliminated: the federal statute generally requires an eligible injury claimant to petition the compensation program before certain civil actions. Separately, Monsanto v. Calley Means said it (matched by voice) on Joe Rogan Experience #2578 - Calley Means, aired Nov 6, 2026, at 26:44. The supporting source is law.cornell.edu, linked below.

Previously: Vaccines are currently the only product in America you can't sue over, so state glyphosate immunity laws would make it the second. [Distorted]: The 1986 vaccine injury law does send most vaccine injury claims to a no-fault federal compensation program first, and it bars design-defect suits. But people can still sue a vaccine maker in some cases: after waiting 240 days, after losing in the program, or after turning down its offer. Vaccines are also not the only shielded product. COVID countermeasures under the PREP Act, gun makers under a 2005 federal law and generic drugs through federal preemption all carry broad lawsuit protections. This verdict would be wrong if federal law turned out to bar all lawsuits against vaccine makers and gave no comparable shield to any other product.

Now: Vaccines are currently the only product in America you can't sue over, so state glyphosate immunity laws would make it the second. [Distorted]: Vaccine liability is restricted, not eliminated: the federal statute generally requires an eligible injury claimant to petition the compensation program before certain civil actions. Separately, Monsanto v. Durnell blocks the state failure-to-warn claim at issue through federal labeling preemption; that is narrower than immunity from every pesticide lawsuit. Neither record establishes that these are the only two protected product categories.
