RFK Jr. to create a list of injuries caused by COVID-19 shots

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to create a list of injuries caused by COVID-19 shots to provide compensation to people who died or were injured because of vaccine use.

The Department of Health and Human Services published a proposed rule earlier this month to establish the COVID-19 Countermeasures Injury Table for its Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program.

CICP is a federal mechanism created by Congress in 2005 to permit individuals to receive compensation for injuries caused by countermeasures used during a medical emergency. Additionally, the program can provide death benefits to survivors of individuals who died because of covered injuries or their complications.

The table will specify the injuries presumed to be caused by COVID-19 shots and the time that must elapse from vaccination to the onset of injuries before an individual can seek compensation from the program.

12. and hospitalizations of the unvaccinated with costs

Part of the problem is that these charlatans got rubes to say "wait, a vaccine should prevent me from ever getting the disease like they did for polio and small pox" rather than minimizing symptoms and risks like the annual flu shot.

What is the real dollar costs for Covid hospital stays of the unvaccinated:
a) out of pocket
b) Medicare dollars
c) Medicaid dollars
d) rooms used
e) cash write off by hospitals on bad debts (that get passed on to other customers/patients)
f) insurance dollars

the few individuals harmed by this vaccine probably should be compensated but there may be more trans girls running track than persons injured by this vaccine.

Wonder what else they’ll try to sneak into coverage by that slush fund. Insurrectionists?Family members of PedoPrez? Lifetime immunity from investigations?

I clearly remember signing consent forms when my children were vaccinated. There was information about possible reactions, including serious ones. It makes me nuts, How in the hell have they been able to continually harp on the harms of the covid vaccines? Isn't it common knowledge that virtually all vaccinations have a small statistical risk of injury or death, AND that health risks from contracting the illness are much worse? I mean, dear God, I'm just a parent and I know that.
I don't get it.

But my feeling now is that the right people will be vaccinated and the right people won’t. A measles outbreak would be my bet. My wife and son are vaccinated against it, and I could not remember if I had measles or the vaccine (and if so, if its effect was waning), so I had a measles titer.

i am immune to measles.

I just don't get how they've been able to peddle this nonsense for years, as if any vaccine is 100% safe. It's nonsensical.

Suppose for the sake of argument there are 20 types of injuries, if each of those injury types happened to 50-100 people, those injuries pale in importance to the number of people, in the millions, who were safely protect by the Covid shots

The way the system works is built around cost to benefits
