Vaccine injury compensation programs overwhelmed as congressional reform languishes (Paid out ZERO for covid vax)
Politico ^ | 06/01/2022 | LAUREN GARDNER

A pair of federal programs compensating people who suffer injuries from vaccines and pandemic treatments are now facing so many claims that thousands of people may not receive payment for their injuries any time soon.

A second program designed for vaccines and other treatments created or used during pandemics has seen unsustainable growth. Between 2010 and 2020, the Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program received 500 complaints. In the two years since Covid-19 appeared, it has received over 8,000 complaints.

Yet the pandemic fund has paid zero claims, in part because officials are waiting for people to submit detailed medical records and documentation to back up their allegations.

“Compensation determinations are made based on individual case reviews, and the statute sets a very high standard that a claimant must meet to be eligible for compensation,” HRSA spokesperson David Bowman said.

Should Covid-19 shots become routine once the pandemic ends, alleged injuries would eventually be handled by the already over-burdened standard Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Patient advocates, attorneys and the pharmaceutical industry fear that without drastic reforms, that program could collapse.

There are fears those optics could fuel vaccine hesitancy if the public mistakes the situation as too many injuries flooding the program.

“The cost of this program failing will be like throwing kerosene on the antivax fire,” said Renee Gentry, director of George Washington University’s Vaccine Injury Litigation Clinic.

Of course they’ll be paying people with more money we don’t have stolen from our paychecks. The government has law on the books that says companies with vaccines authorized for emergency use are immune from being sued.

I strongly suggest that anyone who has had a reaction from a live vax to check to see if you have an autoimmune disease. It took me a year for them to finally figure out I have an obscure auto antibody.

Doesn’t really technically apply to COVID vax but would also be a good idea..

Typical. Government movies not about doing the right thing, but he “optics” of the situation. Maybe the reality is if there are a flood of injury claims, people should ask questions about the safety.

Autoimmune diseases are the most common form of COVID vax injuries.

the point of my post is not that the vax causes the injury..although it can...it’s to check to see if you have one and that is the reason for the bad reaction to a LIVE vax...as it is a sign that you have something you had no idea you had...

So for example, if you got a live vax and it gave you ear ringing..check for an autoimmune disease

The only people who will get paid are the ‘geographically displaced’ people who got the ‘vax’ in other countries and are now living in the USA, or were ‘Forced” to take it before crossing the border.

And this is why even while there are approved vaccines, the only ones actually being delivered are the continued experimental versions, which have immunity. There’s really something wrong with that picture, since there are approved vaccines, the EUA should be ended, immunity should be ended.

Speaking of which, get a load of this...

Dual-Positive MPO- and PR3-ANCA-Associated Vasculitis Following SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Booster Vaccination: A Case Report and Systematic Review

...In light of huge booster vaccination programs for SARS-CoV-2 worldwide, a potential causal association with AAV may result in a considerable subset of cases with potential severe complications. The detection and transparent communication of any adverse events, including rare complications, is important. This is especially relevant since these unusual but severe complications require a specific diagnostic work-up and treatment. Our report aims to sensitize clinicians in the field to this rare but potentially severe complication to encourage the prompt recognition and diagnosis of de novo AAV in timely association with SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, a thorough investigation of possible concurrent triggers, as well as timely treatment once found.
