In business, there's this concept of a money-back guarantee. If you don't like it, your misfortune is paid for by the >vendor. If the vaccine is safe and effective, the manufacturers and the US government should cover 100% of the >medical bills arising from any side effects from the vaccines. Including:

I think 100% of medical bills being covered from side effects is reasonable...if you are forced to to receive the vaccine. Otherwise, before you get the vaccine, you sign something that acknowledges the risks (which are stated in a piece of paper that you are given...at least in the U.S.).

Businesses must be entitled to damages for lost workforce, revenue, customers
Health insurance companies must be entitled to 100% reimbursement for any additional health expense they cover
Entertainment venues entitled to 100% damages for lost revenue from cancelled events due to surges post vaccine
Sports leagues 100% reimbursement for lost sales due to lack of viewership or attendance due to surges post vaccine
Airlines 100% reimbursement for lost revenue from flights cancelled due to surges post vaccine
Restaurants 100% compensation for any revenue lost due to any surges or lockdowns post vaccine
If the vaccine does work, and side effects are rare, the powers at be must be forced to back it up.

You lost me here. Surges are to be expected until and unless we achieve herd immunity. That takes 80-90% vaccination/natural immunity rate. The vaccine does work (doesn't mean 100%) and side effects are rare (doesn't mean 0).

Finally, the vaccine must be a right! It should be given freely to all countries world wide to combat this global >pandemic.

Instead - three companies wield monopoly over all vaccines. The president is about to implore the world to pay >them more https://www.scribd.com/document/525278011/39ff1de7-8bfc-4f0a-a7f3-2dfb4540af3b
for billions of doses of the vaccine. They maintain their complete immunity from side effects or harm. And all >three vaccines continue to be pushed in the USA under the EUA - that explicitly justifies their approval based on >the lack of an FDA approved alternative. Said again, moderna / J&J must be pulled from thee shelves once the >FDA truly approves a treatment.

Something that requires someone else's material and labor to produce cannot be a 'right' unless you support slavery. Somebody must pay for the cost of development, including materials and labor, even if no profit is involved. And while profit may sound like a dirty word in the context of a global pandemic, it is a powerful motivator. You remove it at the peril of slowing or even stopping development. Also, three companies by definition are not a monopoly...unless they are colluding.

Ideas are more infectious than viruses. This is a simple binary - either this is about saving lives, and the >government will 100% finance the risks, or it is about profit and we the people are funding the dissolution of >our own liberty.

It is not a simple binary at all. By government financing something, you really mean that it is taxpayer funded as this is where government gets its money. Thus far, government HAS been financing this for the most part and giving away a lot to other countries as well. But this just means that U.S. taxpayers are paying for it. But don't forget, these three companies are just the ones making a vaccine in the U.S. There are also European, Russian, and Chinese producers of other vaccines (and maybe others).

It does not cost trillions of dollars to cover medical bills for 'rare' side effects. Stop arguing about the data - >they know it's bogus too. They want to keep your eyes off what's really going on:

I don't know how the numbers work out. When you are talking about hundreds of millions or even billions of vaccines, even very low probability side effects can add up and hospital care isn't cheap. I think these expenses should be covered if you are forced to take the vaccine, but not if you accept the risks and get it voluntarily. However, the more the cost of liability increases, the more the cost of the vaccine increases.

There is no FDA approved treatment

As far as vaccines, the 'Comiarty' brand by Pfizer has been approved as of August. As far as treatments, there are FDA approved treatments including remdesivir which is an antiviral, among others.

Natural immunity is more effective

Probably true but so what..and by how much? The vaccine is to reduce the risk of bad outcomes with regards to COVID. Ideally preventing you from contracting it at all but reducing the effects if you still do. Natural immunity only comes after contracting COVID and overcoming those risks. Natural immunity might protect you a little better or a little longer...it's not going to be a huge difference though. Neither natural immunity nor vaccination is likely give you permanent immunity.
