The Deep State has so corrupted Congress’ intent of the Federal vaccine compensation program, a way forward for President Trump to make progress that will appease both the pharmaceutical industry and MAHA would be to remove the logjam preventing proper enforcement of the 1986 Act.
The policy, which was signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1986, was designed to compensate the vaccine injured, our veterans in the war on disease.
The reality has been decades of a policy environment of injury denial rather than injury compensation. And the problem is further exacerbated by lack of public access to clinical and health outcomes data that could expedite and more accurately provide evidenced-based results in determining causation in vaccine court.
This is especially important in the President’s War on Autism, since the data has shown since the mid 1990s that there is a link between autism and infant vaccines. (This fact was covered up by the CDC.)
Releasing the data to the public cannot help but lead to better products in the marketplace. Data release will provide better decision support in vaccine court, in patient care, manufacturing, research and development and all aspects of the vaccine supply chain.
This week, the CDC changed language on its website, further confusing the issue.
Given the President’s publicly stated mandate that this is the most important issue of his Presidency, here are a few suggestions on how we can leverage the moment to get better outcomes in Public Health:
- Modify the vaccine injury compensation table to reinstate a definition of residual seizure disorder, which was taken off the injury compensation table in vaccine court in 2010 when too many children were being injured and were filling claims with autism diagnosis.
By having autism off the compensation table, children are being denied access to compensation in the vaccine court, despite the information reflected in scientific and clinical data that proves otherwise.
- Release the health outcome and safety data from insurance carriers and clinical trials, to allow for more effective analysis in awarding compensation in the vaccine court for our veterans in the war on disease.
Without public access to these databases that house the vaccine clinical and safety outcomes, the industry is lacking a feedback mechanism.
That feedback mechanism, (access to the Vaccine Safety Datalink [VSD] from Kaiser; Optum (United Healthcare); CVS Database for several insurance companies; medicare and medicaid; Humetrix — just to name a few), would give better compensation and safety outcomes by making vaccines safer and better.
This is precisely what the 1986 Act requires.
Yet for 39 years we have lacked transparency in data outcomes, causing a bottleneck in the system. Releasing the data will provide more accurate information to truly compensate those who’ve been injured.
- Open the Statute of Limitations filing window on a vaccine-related injury, based on scientific evidence, that will allow for an injury that occurred at any time as a result of a vaccine. (Ex: Camp Lejeune Justice Act).
The Camp Lejeune Act allows for an unlimited statute of limitations on when a soldier can file for anyone were exposed to bad water at Camp Lejeune. Once the filing is made, plaintiff has 6 years to complete it. Our window for filing for a vaccine injury should be similar, not limited to its current window of 3 years.
In summary:
- Adding the diagnosis back to the vaccine injury compensation table that accounts for residual seizure disorder and other conditions that are often diagnosed as autism, corrects a mistake that is counter to what the data has shown for many years, and will help families who deserve compensation for vaccine injury be compensated in a swift and effective manner.
- Public release of the clinical safety and outcomes data will improve evidence-based decision making in both vaccine court and in the clinical setting.
- Providing a more realistic window for filing will enable better process flow for patients and families who in some extreme cases need time to prepare for vaccine court while caring for an injured loved one.
By properly enforcing n the 1986 Act we can improve the safety and effectiveness of our vaccine programs to ensure swift and decision-based compensation for our veterans in the war on disease.
