$3 Billion Paid Out to Vaccine-injured Families by The U.S. Government
Americans are routinely told by traditional medical doctors, healthcare providers, government agencies and elected officials that “vaccines are safe,” and yet that doesn’t explain why billions of taxpayer dollars have been spent to compensate families whose little loved ones have been severely affected or killed by vaccines.In all, according to official federal government figures, taxpayers
are on the hook for more than $3.3 billion in compensation costs, as
noted by the Health Resources and Services Administration, which tracks
payouts made via the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. But then when has money ever been a consideration for the federal government? And in order to bolster the government’s own claims that “vaccines are safe,” why wouldn’t Uncle Sam litigate – if he’s right? The fact is, even the government admits that vaccines are not 100 percent safe, even while attempting to downplay the dangers:
Vaccine makers off the hook financially and otherwiseThe compensation fund was begun in 1986 for the very reasons vaccine choice advocates routinely attempt to point out – because of bad vaccines. As reported by Health Impact News:
What’s more, as mentioned, taxpayers are on the hook for financing the compensation fund – not the vaccine makers. Health Impact News reported further that, as of mid-March, the compensation program held more than $3.5 billion, a fund that is fed by a 75-cent tax on all vaccines administered. And speaking of litigation, it turns out that the government isn’t nearly so charitable either. Health Impact News further notes that the government does indeed spend millions to fight some claims, postponing inevitable settlements as long as a decade and causing further (undue) pain to grieving families. ‘Modern scientific delusion’According to HRSA report: — Total number of vaccines distributed, 1/1/2006 – 12/31/2014 = 2,532,428,541 — Total number of vaccine injury awards, FY 2006 – FY 2014 = 2,146 — Total amount of vaccine injury awards, FY 2006 – FY 2014 = $1,306,003,930.68 And there is the autism–vaccine link, as Natural News editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has often referenced. “[T]he modern scientific delusion about vaccines has been predicated on the belief that vaccines only offer benefits while imposing zero risks. This is the anti-science quackery which is brazenly repeated by the CDC, vaccine manufacturers, doctors and health organizations,” Adams, director of the Consumer Wellness Center and author of the upcoming book Forensic Foods, wrote in August 2014, after a leading scientist revealed scientific fraud at the CDC. “A more honest analysis of vaccines would have to conclude that vaccines come with some level of inherent risk of harm and death. Scientists can argue all day about the size of such risks, but no rational person can ever honestly say such risks are zero.”
