The Kennedy vaccine targets the Injury program
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a little known but aiming at the important program that identifies all childhood vaccines.
Kennedy this week has promised Charlie Kark’s social media and vaccine injury compensation programs (VICP) and promised significant changes.
He wrote on the social platform X, “The VCP is broken, and I wish to fix it.
Attorney and other experts say that Kennedy has rightly stated that families who were injured in a vaccine in 1986 need to be modernized, the program that was created, needed to modernize.
“There are a lot of less hanging fruits here [Kennedy] David Carney, president of the injured petitioners Bar Association of Philadelphia’s vaccine and vaccine, said that it could work with the vaccine program immediately.
Carney said the cases could be settled faster than trial. Kennedy can also press the Congress to work on law that enhances court staff, increase pain and suffering caps, and add Covid -19 vaccines to the list of shots eligible for the program.
There are very few employees available to manage a huge case load, patients wait for years to listen to their cases. It covers the vaccine about three times more than it was first created, but the number of “special master” that listens to cases is the same.
Atternis who have argued about vaccine injury have said that the government was more favorable for vaccine than applicants in recent years, fighting against demands that were easily settled.
Renny Gentry, director of the Vaccine Injury Litty Clinic at George Washington University Law School, said: “This is not a fast, informal, applicant-friendly program that Congress designed.
However, the changes that Kennedy want will undermine this program or completely tear, or it will completely tear, at risk of driving drug makers from the market and threatening access to childhood shots.
Kennedy has long targeted Vispie for a long time and his X post has echoed many of his previous arguments. He did not give details about what he was doing, but he said he was working with Attorney General Palm Bondi.
He said earlier that he would like to expand the program, the hostile events on behalf of the contenders make it easier to qualify for awards, claiming that the vaccines are not part of the program.
San Francisco, Vaccine, a law expert at the University of California and Professor Dorit Reyes, says people can prove the injury in two ways. Either you fit with the injury table and there is an idea that the vaccine has caused damage, or you need to show effectiveness for injuries outside the list.
Kennedy has the ability to add new injuries to a worthy list like autism, which he has repeatedly associated with vaccines.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson in early July, Kennedy suggested that vaccines were associated with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and narcoscopy.
“We now have this epidemic of resistance in our country, and there is no way to cancel the vaccines as one of the main criminals,” Kennedy said.
To add injuries to the list, the Kennedy will have to pass through the Federal Government’s complex notice-o-commentation rules. Experts say that it usually takes an affordable and expensive initiative and often does not show adequate evidence to prove that scientific reviews have damaged the vaccine.
Kennedy may start settling the case for further injuries without informing the list.
Nevertheless, the change program may risk bankruptcy.
The families are provided through a trust fund that is funded by an excise tax on vaccine manufacturers, so a limited meaning here is available. The program’s funds include lawyers fees and expenses even to lose cases.
In exchange for taxes, vaccine makers have a limited responsibility IELD. The petitioners filed a claim against the federal government, not the manufacturers and the family manufacturers neglected and could get compensation without proof.
Kennedy suggested that he would like to change it.
Kennedy writes, “The VCP has turned a twist in the inefficiency, bias and a government lawyer, and the special masters who are the judges of the Vaccine Court give priority to their responsibilities to compensate for their responsibilities to compensate for the HHS Trust fund.”
If a spokesperson for health and human services, Kennedy, refuses to say what is considering a change, the secretary’s comments speak on their behalf.
A popular antivaccin talking point is the desire to remove the limited responsibility for vaccine manufacturers IELD. But it can only do Congress something.
The Kennedy has the ability to drop the vaccine from the program. At this point, it covers regularly for children or pregnant women regularly recommended. However, if a shot is no longer recommended regularly, it can be removed.
In early June, Kennedy suddenly dismissed all members of the outside advisory group responsible for the vaccine recommendation. He appointed a new group of hand-selling replacements.
For example, if that group does not recommend the HPV vaccine, for example, Kennedy can correct the injury table to remove it.
According to the Gentry, “If he removes it, these people have no right to stay in this program and their citizen will be stuck in case of litigation,” which is more difficult and expensive.
