RFK Junior announced plans to address the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), which was created in 1986 to shield vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits. According to the transcript, vaccine manufacturers, specifically Wyeth (now part of Pfizer), sought legal protection, claiming vaccines are "unavoidably unsafe." This phrase is reportedly in the statute and a Supreme Court decision.
Senator Edward Kennedy intended for the VICP to fairly compensate vaccine-injured individuals, but the system is allegedly failing. Kennedy claims the HHS is the defendant, claimants face the DOJ, special masters are biased, there is no discovery, and rules of evidence don't apply. Attorneys report retaliation, fee suppression, and denied access to vaccine safety data. Expert witnesses have allegedly faced intimidation and threats.
Kennedy pledges to fix the VICP and restore its original mission, working with AG Pam Bondi and HHS staff. Despite this, skepticism is warranted due to the government's track record on vaccine safety. Concerns remain about rushed approvals, questionable data, and ties with Big Pharma, including recent approvals of potentially dangerous vaccines.
