The US government approved three payments to Americans injured by the experimental COVID-19 vaccine, amounting to a mere total of $4,634.89.
One $2,019.55 payment was issued to a Covid vaccine recipient who developed anaphylaxis from the jab and two payments — $1,582.65 and $1,032.69 — for myocarditis by the Health and Resources Service Administration’s Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program, according to a HRSA vaccine injury report published April 1.
Compensation in the anaphylaxis case was pending since the fall of 2021 and the two myocarditis cases had been pending review since January, as the vaccine-injured recipient underwent a “medical benefits review” to determine payment.
The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program was established under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, which shields pharmaceutical companies from liabilities acquired from “countermeasures,” including vaccines administered during a public health emergency.
The CICP has compensated a total of 33 claims for vaccine injury since 2010. In April, the first COVID-19 vaccine recipient was compensated.
The few thousand dollars issued to the vaccine injured is tragic, contends the acting general counsel for the Children’s Health Defense Kim Mack Rosenberg.
“These long-awaited awards were overdue, highly anticipated and speculated upon,” Rosenberg said. “What is remarkable is that less than $5,000 was paid — total. This is a tragedy that highlights the severe limitations of the program.”
