Background:
In the 1980’s manufacturers of the Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis vaccine (“DTP”) start getting sued on behalf of children injured by the vaccine.
In short, many of the injured children won their lawsuit. Equally important to injured children being compensated, as a result of the litigation we learned DTP was injuring as many as 1 in 1,750 kids, we learned a bacteria in DTP was responsible for most the injuries (that bacteria was replaced with another safer bacteria - improving the drug safety), and all this happened because parents of injured kids could sue and the manufacturers were held liable.
We all know what happened next - the drug manufactures didn’t like being sued by parents of the kids they injured, they didn’t like turning over documents showing they knew the vaccines were injuring children, the didn’t like being found liable and at fault in a court of law.
So vaccine manufacturers hired lobbyists who paid off Congress to pass the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.
National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act:
The Act does two main things for purposes of this post:
-
The Act created National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) but for those that know this is called Vaccine Court. A special federal court where there are no juries, cases are decided by “Special Masters”, and even when children are found to be injured by vaccines the Vaccine Manufacturers can not be found at fault (literally called “no-fault”). No-fault is why drug manufacturers can pay mainstream media to lie to the American public and say vaccines are “safe” because despite Vaccine Court paying out ~$5B to vaccine injured children manufactures have never once been found liable or at fault.
-
The Act also creates a fund for payment of damages to vaccine injured kids. This fund evolved over time, but as of today vaccine manufacturers pay something like a flat tax of $0.75/vaccine dose. Of course the tax is something of a joke, as the cost is just passed on to the public. In other words, taxpayers are ultimately the ones that indirectly pay for vaccine injured kids. It is also important to note that the flat tax of $0.75/dose creates no incentive for drug safety, or ongoing trials and studies to improve drug safety. In other words, if a vaccine manufacturer sells 1B vaccines and injures no children they pay the same amount as a vaccine manufacturer that sells the same amount but injures 1M children.
The Act has had other negative consequences, namely only as a result of the no-fault legal the vaccine schedule for children under 2 years old has exploded from 7-9 doses to 25-30, and the numbers continue to go up further after 2 years old. Vaccine manufacturers are seeing record profits, which on its own isn’t necessarily a negative, but it is when their products injure kids and they have legal immunity from liability.
Covid-19, the Covid-19 “vaccines” are totally exempt from the Act, Vaccine Court and paying the $0.75 tax. Despite other vaccines being around for half a century or more, in just 4 years the Covid-19 “vaccines” have become the most profitable in history.
Proposal:
Abolish National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Look at the DTP cases from the 1980’s - those lawsuits resulted in a net good for society. Moreover, kids injured by vaccines had a remedy at law; they were compensated for their injuries; drug manufacturers had to turn over documentations and studies that became public; the cause of injury was identified and the vaccine safety improved; and vaccine manufacturers were found legally liable for their dangerous drug.
Future:
If the Act were abolished and the right of parents to sue the vaccine manufactures on behalf of their injured children were restored - we can anticipate the multibillion dollars vaccine manufacturers and their insurance lawyers to fight these cases to the detriment of the children they injured. Therefore, we should explore additional solutions to limit this negative outcome. As an example, perhaps continue to require the vaccine manufacturers to continue paying the $0.75 flat tax which would go into a litigation fund to fund the lawsuits on behalf of injured.
