U.S. Vaccine Court: Kangaroo or What?Catherine J. Frompovich The last sentence I emphasized, I think, truly applies to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Vaccine Claims/Office of Special Masters. [2] Why would I think that? Well, many reasons come to mind, but probably the most significant is the fact that a majority of damaged vaccinees have their claims denied, which was not the original intent of the 1986 Congressional action taken, i.e., to provide proper care for those damaged by vaccines. The official federal vaccine program website states that the The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (Vaccine Program) comprises Part 2 of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Vaccine Act). See Pub. L. No. 99-660, 100 Stat. 3755 (1986) (codified as amended at 42 U.S.C. 300aa-1 to -34). Furthermore, It establishes the Vaccine Program as a no-fault compensation program whereby petitions for monetary compensation may be brought by or on behalf of persons allegedly suffering injury or death as a result of the administration of certain compulsory childhood vaccines. Congress intended that the Vaccine Program provide individuals a swift, flexible, and less adversarial alternative to the often costly and lengthy civil arena of traditional tort litigation. [2] [CJF emphasis added] Several things jump out with regard to the above: As far as Im aware, there is no federal law regarding compulsory vaccinations. Vaccine laws kick in at state levels. The CDC even admits that on its website that In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates and licenses all vaccines to ensure safety and effectiveness. No federal vaccination laws exist, but all 50 states require certain vaccinations for children entering public schools. Depending on the state, children must be vaccinated against some or all of the following diseases: mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, and polio. [CJF emphasis added] So, how come the proverbial apples-and-oranges are being mixed with regard to whos liable for compensation due to vaccine damage? Shouldnt each state also be held accountable and liable financially since they pass the laws? However, states dont provide relief! So, why are the feds involved, besides regulating and licensing vaccines? Furthermore, is there a possible clue in Follow the money? As a result of Public Law No. 99-660, 100 Stat. 3755 (1986) (codified as amended at 42 U.S.C. 300aa-1 to -34), the feds collect a tax on each vaccine dose sold, which is placed into a supposed trust fund to pay out claims. The Trust Fund is funded by a $0.75 excise tax on vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for routine administration to children. The excise tax is imposed on each dose (disease that is prevented) of a vaccine. Trivalent influenza vaccine for example, is taxed $0.75 because it prevents one disease; measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, which prevents three diseases, is taxed $2.25. The Department of Treasury collects the excise taxes and manages the Funds investments. [3] [CJF emphasis added] Who collects the money? Additionally, what is the current asset-value of those Trust Fund investments? Who knows? Where is an official accounting of vaccine excise taxes collected? Not being able to find that trust funds assets or investments, I sent off this email in search of that information: Dear Ms. Marilyn Evans, U.S. Treasury: Would you please direct me to where I can obtain the current asset balance of the Vaccine Excise Tax Trust Fund that funds the HRSA / Vaccine Court awards. I can find the amounts of awards paid out over the years, but Im having difficulty in finding how much has been paid into that Vaccine Excise Tax Trust Fund since its inception, over the years, and what its current asset value is/was as of the 2014 or 2015 fiscal year. Thank you for your assistance and considerations to my request. Sincerely, Catherine J Frompovich Consumer health researcher/author/journalist I dont think I will get an answer by the time I publish this articleor ever, but whatever answer I receive, I will share with my readers. My feminine intuition prompts me to think the dollar value has to be close to $50 Billion, but who knows. I think the U.S. Treasury does, as they probably leverage the trust funds assets to offset some other federal spendingperhaps black ops? or off-balance-sheet budgets? [10]. Could it be that maybe thats why the rejected-to-paid vaccinee awards/claims are close to 3 rejected for every one paid? I dont think thats what Congress intended originally. However, Im not the only one who seems to be asking questions. Andrew Zajac of BloombergBusiness wrote an article March 18, 2015, Vaccines Court Tough Standards May Face Supreme Court Test wherein he states, and also provides a U.S. HHS chart, that Vaccine Court Rejects Most Claims, something Ive questioned as being unfair, not equitable, and possibly prejudiced. Why? Because of procedures and how the vaccine court is set upseemingly, in my opinion, stacked in consensus science that vaccines are not capable of causing damage, plus compounded by the fact that there is no jury of peersjust Special Masters who, I think, may have to maintain quotas in favor of vaccines not causing damage. However, the CDCs VAERS reporting system has hundreds of thousands of adverse reactions reported regarding health problems resulting after receiving vaccines/vaccinations. Furthermore, former FDA Commissioner David A. Kessler was of the opinion that less than one percent of doctors reported pharmaceutical adverse events, and vaccines are pharmaceuticals! [7, 8] According to the HPV vaccine stats SaneVax posted from VAERS to January, 2015, the following have been reported: There are horrible side effects that need to be addressed and compensated for which mostly are not as many victims parents and/or advocates attest to. One claim, Bruesewitz v Wyeth, went to the U.S. Supreme Court, only to be shot down on what I would consider a legal loophole and technicality falling back onto the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act that Congress enacted. However, shortly after the 6 to 2 decision in early 2011, I read both the concurring opinion and the two SCOTUS members dissenting argumentsJustices Sotomayor and Ginsburg, who actually had the case figured out correctly, in my opinion. [4] Having said the above, I dont know what SCOTUS will do about revisiting the Vaccine Court, since I think too much politicking is involved insofar as any reversal of the opinion that vaccines are not effective and cause severe health problems and even life-long damagesas HRSA payouts support, plus probable future chronic diseasesthe Pharma House-of-Cards would implodeand rightfully so, as it shouldand the U.S. Treasury could be out a lot of hidden assets, I contend. According to BloombergBusiness, The case the Supreme Court will this week consider taking was filed by the parents of Ilya Dobrydnev, who had a hepatitis B vaccination in 2001, when he was 10. He had a fever, swollen lymph nodes, inner ear inflammation and eventually debilitating memory loss. Now 23, hes disabled by chronic fatigue syndrome. [5] Even though the Vaccine Court awarded $1Million and annual payments for his care, the U.S. Justice Department challenged it saying there wasnt sufficient evidence to support the award! Therein is the horrific injustice of the entire vaccine/vaccination paradigm. If perfectly healthy children are damaged by federal compulsory vaccinations enforced by 50 state laws, then damaged vaccinees should get compensation from the feds, their respective states, and Big Pharma. Below are some dramatically graphic examples of vaccine damagebe forewarned! Man-made chemicals cause damage in the body. [9] If Big Pharmas products cause damage, but Congress still gave them a get out of jail free card, then either the Vaccine Court needs to be more damaged-vaccinee-friendly OR Big Pharma, those who administer vaccines (MDs, RNs, pharmacists, etc.) should be made to pay for those damages and life-long care! Too many children are being damaged by vaccines! Furthermore, neither the vaccine court nor SCOTUS should play the not-sufficient evidence card either. Both SCOTUS and the Vaccine Court must reject Big Pharmas consensus science and use actual, factual biochemistry science. Theres a difference. One is science; the other is a dogmatic religious-like belief. Guess which is which. Did readers grasp the above photographs? Are you aware that autism went from one in 10,000 in the late 1970s to 1 in 50 currently? Are you aware that ADD, ADHD, and other neurological problems werent on the medical radar like they are now until after vaccines/vaccinations took off like greased lightning, mostly due to compulsory state laws? According to the CDCs webpage Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder the Humansand children in particularhave been given and are exposed to, so many man-made chemicals (especially vaccines very early in life) following World War II when the USA brought over Hitlers scientists in Project Paperclip [12, 13, 14], that the jury is now in and the verdict obviously is none other than apparent deliberate chemicalization for some specific reason(s). Those reasons possibly are: Does that sound crazy? Heck no! Heres some information to chew on about transhumanism: What is transhumanism, or what does it mean to be human? [15], Top Ten Transhumanistic Technologies [16], and Epigenetic side-effects of common pharmaceuticals: a potential new field in medicine and pharmacology [17]. Can necessary epigenetic side-effects be a reason for everyoneespecially childrentaking so many pharmaceutical drugs? Are children the mechanisms utilized to reprogram human DNA to implement transhumanism? Is that the real reason for whats going on with the incessant push for more and more vaccines when, in actuality, they really dont provide immunity, as we are seeing outbreaks in highly vaccinated populations? Even radio expert-MDs are saying now that some vaccinated persons will contract the diseases they are vaccinated against. A different spin has to be given about vaccines, since its becoming apparent and obviousvaccines dont really provide herd immunity. There ARE legitimate and serious philosophical, religious, and medical reasons to reject vaccines, especially for those whose beliefs emanate from the body being the Temple of the Holy Spirit; that the body is a humans most personal possession over which no one should have final saydo you have a Living Will [18]; plus certain human rights issues expressed in the U.S. Constitution and other documents like the Nuremberg Code [19]. Every parent and individual needs to consider whats involved in totally toxic chemicals in vaccines [20], and the probabilities of their child or themselves winding up looking like some of the poor vaccine-damaged individuals in the photographs above. Every MD needs to rethink his/her Hippocratic Oath, which states, First do no harm. Theres more involved in vaccinations than meets media hype and pharmaceutical propaganda, it seems. Educate before you vaccinate. You really dont want to land in Vaccine Court, do you?
