</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The first program, meant for standard vaccines, such as measles and polio, has too little staff to handle the number of reported injuries, and thousands of patients are waiting years for their cases to be heard.</div>
<div> </div>
<div class="content-group ad is-loaded"><div class="ad-slot placeholder placeholder--250"><div> </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>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.</div>

An additional 3,000 complaints related to everything from drugs and devices to the failure of hospital staff to limit infection spread have also been filed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yet the pandemic fund has paid zero claims,<strong> </strong>in part because officials are waiting for people to submit detailed<strong> </strong>medical records and documentation to back up their allegations.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>There are fears those optics could fuel vaccine hesitancy if the public mistakes the situation as too many injuries flooding the program, when in fact<strong> </strong>the number of vaccines covered by the program has<strong> </strong>grown without a commensurate increase in resources.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“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.</div>

<div>Covid-19 shots have proven to be safe for the overwhelming majority of people, but injuries do occur, as they do for all vaccines. Allergic reactions are possible, and some specific adverse events have been associated with the shots, such as myocarditis and pericarditis after messenger RNA vaccination, and thrombosis with thrombocytopenia after receiving the Johnson & Johnson shot.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Congress created the national Vaccine Injury Compensation Program in 1986,<strong> </strong>partly<strong> </strong>as a means to avoid lawsuits against vaccine makers and health care providers amid fears that litigation could deter drug companies from producing vaccines and dampen consumer confidence in immunizations.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The program originally covered six routine childhood vaccinations, including measles and polio. But it’s grown to include 16 vaccines — including influenza shots, which tens of millions of people receive every year — without commensurate growth in staff or money needed to handle the additional claims.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The current backlog of cases is more than two years long, said Susan Steinman, senior director of policy and senior counsel at American Association for Justice, which lobbies for plaintiffs’ lawyers. There were 2,057 VICP petitions filed in fiscal 2021.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“It’s not supposed to take longer than actually going to court,” Steinman said. “We have this program backward right now.”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>VICP is funded by a 75-cent excise tax on each dose of the 16 CDC-recommended vaccines and currently has nearly $4.3 billion on hand. Congress must also<strong> </strong>appropriate money from the fund to cover Department of Justice attorneys’ and the federal claims court’s work to process claims, in addition to the claims themselves.</div>

Injured patients and their survivors must submit a request for compensation within one year of receiving the vaccine or drug to HRSA, including medical documentation of the injury or death, with one opportunity for reconsideration if their initial petition is denied.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“HHS just accepts or denies the claims, there’s no judicial review, and there’s very little information about why things have been denied,” said Christina Ciampolillo, president of the Vaccine Injured Petitioners Bar Association.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A novel vaccine has never been transferred from the pandemic program to VICP — the H1N1 flu shot that debuted after that flu season began became part of the next season’s annual vaccine cocktail.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Should the Covid-19 vaccines become routinely recommended by the CDC — and be approved by the FDA for all age groups — it’s unclear how and when they’d be shuffled under the VICP umbrella.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“We think it’s very important to make sure the program is robust and patients’ claims get filed and heard in a timely fashion, and part of that is about adequate staffing and resources in the U.S. government,” said Phyllis Arthur, vice president for infectious diseases and diagnostics policy at the Biotechnology Innovation Organization.</div>

<div>A handful of bills introduced in the House and Senate would revamp both programs, but advocates are focused on two measures — one, H.R. 3655 (117) to overhaul the VICP, and another, H.R. 3656 (117) to automatically impose the excise tax that funds the program on any new vaccines the HHS secretary adds to the vaccine injury table. Currently, Congress must act for the tax to be collected on any new immunization added to the schedule.</div>

Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) in the House, would set a minimum number of special masters appointed to the court that hears vaccine injury claims, requiring a minimum<strong> </strong>of 10 compared to the current maximum of eight.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The legislation would change<strong> </strong>the amount of time the HHS secretary has to add a vaccine to the injury table from two years to six months and would ensure the table covers vaccines routinely recommended by the CDC to adults as well as children and pregnant people.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It also would increase the maximum amount of compensation for vaccine injuries and deaths from $250,000 to $600,000 for 2021, a figure that could be adjusted for inflation in later years.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Doggett, who leads the House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee, indicated in a statement to POLITICO that some Republicans are holding up progress on the measure, which he cosponsored with retiring GOP Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A Republican aide suggested the bill’s potential price tag is to blame. But CBO hasn’t released an estimate for the bill, agency spokesperson Deborah Kilroe said, adding that the office is legally required to conduct a formal cost estimate after a bill is reported out of a congressional committee. Neither bill has advanced out of Energy and Commerce or Ways and Means.</div>

Bob Casey (D-Pa.) is working on a similar legislative effort to automate the VICP excise tax and to clarify how Covid-19 vaccines would transition from the CICP to the VICP.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“We don’t really know how the process works or what it would look like,” a Casey aide said.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The senator is still working on the measure, the aide added, including finding bipartisan cosponsors that could help increase the chances of the bill moving on some legislative vehicle this session. Those options are few, with a bipartisan and bicameral effort to reauthorize FDA’s medical product user fees already well underway. An omnibus spending package could also carry the measures.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The bills’ advocates say ensuring the programs work well is critical to bolstering public confidence in U.S. vaccination programs, so people know that, in the rare case they experience a serious adverse event post-immunization, they can be compensated for their pain.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As the U.S. moves closer to transitioning away from the public health emergency, Doggett said, the longstanding injury compensation program for vaccines must be ready to handle Covid-related claims.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“The system could easily be crushed by the new burden if the existing backlog is not quickly addressed and the program modernized,” he said.</div>

<div class="pf-content"><div class="printfriendly pf-button pf-button-content pf-alignright"><a href="https://www.naturalhealth365.com/breaking-report-indicates-monkeypox-pandemic-was-planned.html#" rel="nofollow" title="Printer Friendly, PDF & Email"><img class="pf-button-img" src="https://cdn.printfriendly.com/buttons/print-button.png" alt="Print Friendly, PDF & Email"/></a></div>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-66037" src="https://www.naturalhealth365.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/iStock-1399105180-150x150.jpeg" alt="monkeypox-outbreak-was-planned" width="150" height="150"/>(<a href="https://naturalhealth365.com/">NaturalHealth365</a>) As of May 27, 2022, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified multiple cases of so-called monkeypox in several U.S. states, including Massachusetts, Florida, Utah, Washington, California, Virginia, and New York. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the outbreak has impacted 12 countries where the disease, which has been compared to a milder version of smallpox, is not endemic.</p>
<p>Given how the COVID-19 pandemic has been going, perhaps it is no surprise that the Biden administration has already dumped nearly $120 million into purchasing some freeze-dried monkeypox vaxxes (you know … just in case). But<span> </span><em>this<span> </span></em>might shock you:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nti.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/NTI_Paper_BIO-TTX_Final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Evidence</a><span> </span>suggests the outbreak was not unexpected at all … almost as if we are looking at Event 201 all over again (i.e., global bigwigs and billionaires sit around and “simulate” a pandemic and subsequent pandemic response … then a pandemic starts just a couple of months later).</p>
<h2>Was this sudden outbreak of monkeypox actually planned?</h2>
<p>The Nuclear Threat Initiative is a “nonprofit, nonpartisan global security organization focused on reducing nuclear and biological threats imperiling humanity,” according to their website. Their funders and donors include none other than the<span> </span><a href="https://www.naturalhealth365.com/dangerous-farmland-agenda-3793.html">Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation</a>.</p>
<p>In March 2021, NTI worked alongside the Munich Security Conference (as well as dozens of leaders from various fields, including public health, biotechnology industry, international security, and philanthropy) to create a “tabletop exercise” about reducing the risk of biological threats. A full report of their exercise, called “Strengthening Global Systems to Prevent and Respond to High-Consequence Biological Threats: Results from the 2021 Tabletop Exercise Conducted in Partnership with the Munich Security Conference,” includes some incredibly eerie lines:</p>
<ul>
<li>“The exercise scenario portrayed a deadly, global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox virus that emerged in the fictional nation of Brinia and spread globally over 18 months.”</li>
<li>“Ultimately, the exercise scenario revealed that the initial outbreak was caused by a terrorist attack using a pathogen engineered in a laboratory with inadequate biosafety and biosecurity provisions and weak oversight.”</li>
<li>“By the end of the exercise, the fictional pandemic resulted in more than three billion cases and 270 million fatalities worldwide.”</li>
</ul>
<p>Hopefully, this “fictitious” exercise is in no way an omen of future occurrences.</p>
<h3>What is monkeypox?</h3>
<p>Monkeypox is considered a rare viral disease. Most people who get this illness seem to recover fully after experiencing only minor symptoms … but of course, this might not stop government officials from wanting to push yet another wave of vax hysteria onto the world.</p>
<p>According to the WHO, these current global monkeypox cases “have mainly but not exclusively been identified amongst men who have sex with men (MSM) seeking care in primary care and sexual health clinics.” The WHO also identifies where monkeypox is currently endemic in the world, including Benin, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Ghana (identified in animals only), Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan. Endemic means that a particular disease is consistently present at a baseline level in a certain area or population.</p>
<p>The signs and symptoms of monkeypox are generally mild: fever, swollen lymph nodes (which do not occur in smallpox), muscle aches, chills,<span> </span><a href="https://www.naturalhealth365.com/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-3740.html">fatigue</a>, and rashes or lesions that can develop into vesicles, papules, macules, pustules, and scabs.</p>
<p>What do you think? Based on the above-cited evidence, isn’t it plausible to believe that we may have another “plandemic” on our hands?</p>

Some readers may recall the media storm against this paper, driven by some self-proclaimed fact-checkers. The appendix not only debunks all the “fact-checkers” claims but the authors also demonstrate how they were based not on any understanding of the paper (in fact it looks as if the “fact-checkers” mostly never even read it), but rather on superficial and to a large extent irrelevant “criticisms”, repeated blindly by one “fact-checker” and one media outlet after another.</span></p>

This should be good news, especially for parents who have been worried about their children throughout the pandemic and teachers who have been worried about exposure to the virus at schools.

The European Commission’s April 27th documents thus clearly invoke a new rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination campaign in the fall, specifically targeting the hitherto unvaccinated and also children. Moreover, if the Commission gets its way – as it can be expected to – and the EU Digital Covid Certificate is indeed extended, they also raise the specter of this new rollout being combined with exactly the same coercive, discriminatory measures that turned Europe’s unvaccinated into social pariahs for much of the last year. </span></p>

Human freedom is the public practice of not being trolled by the ruling class, which is forever telling us that life will be better once the most intelligent and most powerful among them are granted all trust to do with our lives and property as they see fit. When we decide that it ends, it ends. </span></p>

The dangers posed by digital IDs cannot be emphasized enough.

It appears the WHO’s staff are comfortable with ensuring the people they were charged to support are increasingly impoverished and their rights and health autonomy removed.

In short, both the Wall Street and main street economies have been so badly roiled and distorted by lockdowns, the Fed’s money-printing spree, and Washington’s stimmy paloozas that a lot of stuff is going to “snap” as the Fed is forced into a desperate inflation-fighting mode.</span></p>

Vaccine passports and contact tracing are intimately tied to surveillance. More specifically, global surveillance. As the draft notes, the WHO will carry out “coordinated global surveillance of public health threats.” This can only be achieved by member states, all 194 of them, expanding their surveillance systems and contributing to “the WHO’s global systems for surveillance.”</span></p>

Is this Buffalo teen shooter and the Texas teen shooter the last such shooters? I fear not, as we may have damaged the minds of many people irreparably.

Back then, hundreds of professors associated with Yale University organized a letter with signatures to send to the White House. The letter was dated March 2, 2020.

It might have taken us in a different direction than the one in which governments took us soon after it was published.</span></p>

Why did the CDC believe it was worthwhile to spend $2.4 million trying to convince college students to get vaccinated for a disease that poses little serious threat to most young, healthy individuals?
