Re: Government Accountability & Vaccines

[Guest guest]

I believe this fund was set up to cover injuries caused by routine childhood

immunizations. Each childhood vaccination has a surcharge added to it which

is paid into this fund. Since the fund's inception they have increasingly

restricted what they will pay for. As a result, less parents are being

compensated for injuries to their children and the balance in this fund has

gone through the roof. However, there is no actual money in the fund. It has

been " loaned " to the general fund. I believe Congressman Dan Burton had a

hearing on this sometime last year. Try this link.

Apparently, there is a government fund set up to compensate victims of

vaccines. It is called the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. It was

started in 1986, became effective in 1988, and has since paid out almost

$1,000,000,000 (one Billion dollars!) to 5,355 claimants.
