Laid Low by the COVID Vaccine, Now They've Got a Bad Case of Federal Unresponsiveness

https://www.realclearinvestiga...aredness_943284.html

In April 2021, Adele Fox received a single shot of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. Within a few hours, the 60-year-old resident of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, started feeling shooting pains in her legs, arms, and neck. The pain didn’t abate over the next few days. Instead, it got worse and was accompanied by nausea and debilitating fatigue.

Within a few weeks, neurologists affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital diagnosed her with several serious conditions they say were a result of her COVID-19 vaccine, including small-fiber neuropathy (which causes a painful tingling in the extremities) and Sjögren’s Syndrome (which leaves patients pained and fatigued, and in extreme cases, can damage internal organs).

This shot, which was supposed to get Fox back to normal, instead left her with diminished ability to work and enjoy life. Persistent physical therapy and experimental treatments she’s taken since have done little to alleviate her symptoms.

“I used to do so much, and now it’s a struggle,” she says. “Sometimes you just get down.”

With her medical bills mounting and her condition not improving, Fox sought compensation for her damaged health. Federal liability protections prevent the vaccine-injured from directly suing vaccine manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson. Instead, claimants have to go to the federal government for compensation.

But as Fox would soon learn, the government has two starkly different injury programs for vaccines. One operates like a civil court with a neutral judge, lawyers on both sides, and a guaranteed right of appeal. In recent decades, it has approved about 75% of claims and pays out hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

The other, which handles COVID-19 vaccines, has rejected almost every claim brought to it, awarding less than $10,000 since the pandemic. And in a nation nearly numb to the pandemic's toll and its scandals, the program is adding seething frustration atop lasting injury to Fox and people like her in a little reported aftermath to the government’s much criticized performance on vaccines – ranging from erratic booster advice to broad-brush vaccine mandates that cost people their jobs.

Fox filed her claim two years ago, submitting hundreds of pages of medical documents about her condition and diagnoses. She’s nevertheless one of the 10,887 people still waiting on a decision. “You’re not even hearing anything from the organization that’s supposed be helping you,” she says. “The phone keeps ringing, no one is emailing, nobody is doing anything.”

The federal agency overseeing the program, the Health Resources and Services Administration, said in a statement to RealClearInvestigations that the current number of claims “significantly exceeds the previous volume in the program” and that the program has “hired additional staff to address this growth in claims, and the President’s budget requests additional funding to support the additional staffing needed to process claims.”



Tale of Two Compensation Programs
The government’s two contrasting vaccine compensation programs are similarly named and thus easily confused. The first, Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) was created in the 1980s and covers most routine vaccines. The second, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), is a result of war-on-terror legislation in 2005 and now covers COVID-19 vaccines. Their bureaucratic differences help explain why a nation that has spent trillions of dollars on COVID relief programs has provided almost no assistance to people harmed by the vaccines that the government encouraged, and sometimes required, them to take.

The earlier program was supposed to shore up pharmaceutical companies’ willingness to make childhood vaccines in the face of persistent vaccine injury lawsuits, while also giving the vaccine-injured a fair and expedited process for compensation.

The vaccine-injured would not sue pharmaceutical companies. Instead, they’d petition the government in Federal Claims Court, where special masters (judges) would decide cases. Compensation came from a government-administered trust fund paid for by excise taxes levied on vaccine manufacturers.

Between 2006 and 2021, this court adjudicated cases from 10,602 petitioners and issued compensation to 7,618 of them. The compensation trust fund sits at $4 billion and pays out about $200 million in compensation and attorneys’ fees each year.

This earlier program bears little resemblance to the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, where the COVID-vaccine cases of Fox and many others are languishing.

It was meant to incentivize pharmaceutical companies to be part of the federal response to one-off, one-in-a-million events like a bioweapon attack or an outbreak of a deadly pandemic. Although almost one billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the United States, and health authorities say boosters could become as common as the annual flu shot, it remains the only way people harmed by the shot can receive compensation.

It's far from guaranteed they’ll get it.

Before the pandemic, this program received a little over 500 claims and had paid out compensation to only 30 people – mostly for H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine injuries. In just the past two years, it has been asked to make decisions on over 10,000 injury claims related to COVID countermeasures.

As of June, it made decisions on just 919 of these COVID-related claims and rejected 894 of them. It has so far paid out only $8,593 in compensation to just four people who were injured by a COVID vaccine. The program has deemed another 20 people eligible for compensation, but has yet to pay them.

It’s not a judicial process either. Rather, it’s an administrative process overseen by Health Resources and Services Administration, which is housed within Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). People file a claim and government medical reviewers decide whether to pay out or not. That’s an awkward arrangement, given that HHS is deciding whether to pay for damages caused by products it approved and in some cases mandated.

Because it’s an administrative process, there’s no right to counsel and no neutral arbitrator. A denied claimant can file for reconsideration with HRSA, but otherwise has no right to appeal.

(Long article) Rest at link.

I’m actually surprised at this and it’s more indication that people are done with masking and never going back. What surprises me even more is I thought Smerconish was a Fauchi loving bootlicker:

It was fire season here at the time and she made a comment to the checkout girl about how bad the smoke smelled. I, somewhat being an asshole and somewhat wanting this to be a teaching moment, told her that if she could smell the smoke, well....

With a normal and rational person, one might expect a light bulb to go off. With her? She screamed at me for not wearing a mask and putting everyone at risk.

Our little grocery store, by the way, STILL has the plexiglass shields up at the checkout stands. Not too surprising, though, given that it's owned by commies.

I called this from the beginning and posted it ealier in this thread. BS!

We (taxpayers) shouldn't be paying a single cent. Sorry you were injured, but that was the deal and you knew it.

I knew they'd be coming for money and they need to be told too bad, so sad. Figure it out on your own. You rolled the dice. You took your chances. You knew it was experimental.

I watched that and couldn’t believe it. Basically, he says at the end, that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

He's incapable of admitting that he's wrong. Even if he had an impulse to do so, he knows that if he admitted this huge (and that is no exaggeration) mistake, he would never hear the end of the hoots and cat calls.

Never gonna happen

Mask nazis don’t social distance.

I remember back sometime in 2021 waiting in line at a gas station to get a receipt from pumping gas, a woman comes into the store yelling and screaming at everyone for several minutes. Your going to kill everyone how could you not be wearing masks. You should all go to jail and so on.
If it was not so funny it would be sad, and it was.
Everyone looked surprised while she was yelling, and as soon as she left everyone went back to doing what they were doing before she came in.
Next time I went to that gas station all the employees were wearing masks but they were down on their chins. Not a single customer was wearing a mask.

Ordinarily, I would agree with this sentiment.
However, in light of the fact that government forced or coerced people to take these shots AND given the fact that government exempts manufacturers from liability for these shots, I do think the government should bear some responsibility OR at least lift the liability shield.

No.
The "government" should not have liability.
The officials who made the decisions to mandate should have liability.

This right here. Start by taking every red cent Tony Fauci has, selling his house, etc. That can be the start of the fund to compensate victims.

Jill Biden tests positive for Covid again… despite being “vaccinated” and multiple boosted. More proof, as if anyone with a properly functioning brain that these injections don’t work. This should inspire great confidence in yet another jab-fest, right?

https://www.foxnews.com/politi...ovid-second-time.amp

First lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a statement from her office on Monday. President Biden tested negative for the virus.

"This evening, the First Lady tested positive for COVID-19," the statement reads. "She is currently experiencing only mild symptoms. She will remain at their home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware."

The first lady is double-vaccinated, twice boosted, according to a statement from her communications director last year.

The last time the 72-year-old tested positive for the virus was in August 2022. At the time, she was staying at a private residence in South Carolina.

"Following the First Lady's positive test for COVID-19, President Biden was administered a COVID test this evening," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. "The President tested negative. The President will test at a regular cadence this week and monitor for symptoms."

The announcement comes amid rising COVID cases and hospitalizations throughout the country as several hospital systems have reinstated mask-wearing requirements for patients and staff.

I can't believe this is still a thing, where people are testing for covid and the media reporting on it as if anyone should give a shit.

^^^^^^^^^^

I totally believe it, and kind of expected it. IMO, "they" are priming the public for vaccine and mask mandates in time for the 2024 election. Already cities like Los Angeles are publicly preparing for mask mandates in the near future. Their goal- to minimize in-person voting again and implement mail-in ballots, harvesting, etc, a repeat of the 2020 election.

^^^Their goal is to eliminate the natural rights of every American, and destroy this country!

nhracecraft,
The good news is that more and more people don't trust the government and don't believe what they are saying.

Here's another reason why, but you'll have to go to the source to see the emails:

A new eye-popping FOIA disclosure was making the rounds this week. The FDA three emails evidenced a perfect storm of government bungling and corruption. The short version is that right while federal jab mandates were lifting off in the fall of 2021, top government officials already knew that the jabs “waned,” meaning they didn’t protect anybody.

But that’s not all. Not even close.

Here’s the first email in the thread. It’s a doozy. It was sent from a Department of Defense contractor to FDA top official Marion Gruber in advance of the September 2021 vaccine committee meeting. Marion Gruber was the Director of the Office of Vaccines Research and Review at the FDA.
image 6.png

First of all, notice the email explained that the Department of Defense hired Humetrix in March 2020 to analyze Medicare claims data related to covid:

This study has been conducted by my company under contract with the DoD JAIC (Joint Artificial Intelligence Center) since March 2020, when we were tasked to analyze Medicare claim data to monitor, map and conduct Covid-19 predictive analytics for the military.

“For the military.” Why was DoD involved right from March 2020? Was covid a military operation or a health emergency? What do they know that they aren’t saying?

"Salus" was the name of a pagan Roman goddess associated with health, well-being, and prosperity. Hopefully someone will follow up and FOIA everything related to “Project Salus.”

And … the JAIC? A DoD joint artificial intelligence center? What is that? How and why did the JAIC get involved in covid from day one? Why haven’t we ever heard of its role in the pandemic? Unanswerable questions.

At least, unanswerable so far. We’re getting there, drop by painful drop.

Finally, this government contractor, Humetrix, was hired by the military to monitor Medicare claims data. Honestly, it makes perfect sense to monitor Medicare claims. Why wasn’t the CDC monitoring Medicare claims data? Of course they were. So why haven’t we ever heard about what the government was finding in the Medicare claims data?

Next, Humetrix gave the top officials at HHS the bad news, for consideration of the vaccine advisory committee:

Our observational study VE findings show a very significant decrease in VE against infection and hospitalization in the Delta phase of the pandemic for individuals vaccinated with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine for those 5-6 months post vaccination vs. those 3-4 months post vaccination.

“VE” means “vaccine efficacy.” It was bad enough that, right while the government was throwing out mandates faster than a t-shirt shooting machine at an SEC Bowl Game on federal employees and contractors, airline pilots, and who knows what else, they already knew the vaccines didn’t prevent covid infections. But it’s even worse than that.

From the Medicare data, they knew in September 2021 that the negative jab efficacy also applied to hospitalizations. It says it right there, in black and white. They are still maintaining the lie that jabs prevent hospitalizations for severe covid. But what does the Medicare data show? Hmm?

You might be wondering, maybe they had other information that contradicted Humetrix’s findings. We certainly heard zero discussion of that issue during the vaccine committee meeting, or anywhere else for that matter, but still. It could be, right?

Nope. The next two emails tell the story. Leaving Humetrix out of the chain, HHS’s Peter Marks replied to Janet Woodcock and Julia Teirney, both in FDA. Marks was the Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the FDA. The CBER oversaw the vaccine approval process for the covid shots.
image 7.png

Marks first expressed surprise, like us, that the DoD’s Artificial Intelligence project was involved. Had they known that, they could have shut it down. And, again like us, he was surprised the CDC — which also had full access to the Medicare data — hadn’t said anything. But notice Mark’s final comment:

As I said yesterday, the totality of the evidence is remarkably consistent.

Remarkably consistent evidence! And, he’d said it before, to someone, even before getting the Humetrix email. So, contrary to what they were saying publicly, that the jabs worked great and prevented hospitalization, internally HHS officials were saying that the remarkably consistent evidence showed the exact opposite was true.

Liars!

Finally, we have Janet Woodcock’s reply to Marks’ email. Woodcock was the top official at the FDA overseeing the vaccines.
image 8.png

Woodcock “supposed” the vaccine committee would discuss this data. That seems logical, but for some reason, it didn’t. For some reason. But her final sentence put the nail in the covid coffin:

Actually Peter this is more worrisome than the other data we have in my opinion.

See that? She even disagreed with Marks. To Woodcock, the Humetrix findings were even worse than what they had been seeing.

But none of this ever made the public discussion. What happened inside the FDA that prevented the vaccine committee from discussing the remarkably consistent evidence?

And yet, the government doubled-down on mandates, full throttle, until courts finally forced them to stop.

I have a neighbor who is a resp. therapist at a major hospital. He told me last we they haven't seen a legitimate case of COVID in months. Although he has been sent many people with simple colds that are clearly not COVID.

The Babylon Bee nails it again.
