RFK Jr. is targeting a little-known program that underpins childhood immunizations in the US.
Five months after taking over the federal agency responsible for the health of all Americans, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to overhaul an obscure but vital program that underpins the nation’s childhood immunization system.
Depending on what he does, the results could be catastrophic.
In his crosshairs is the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, a system designed to provide fair and quick payouts for people who suffer rare but serious side effects from shots—without having to prove that drugmakers were negligent. Congress created the program in the 1980s when lawsuits drove vaccine makers from the market. A special tax on immunizations funds the awards, and manufacturers benefit from legal protections that make it harder to win big-money verdicts against them in civil courts.
It’s as I keep saying. They’re looking to purge the working class. They must be or annihilating current and future vaccines wouldn’t be on the table.
Vaccines are the cheapest, laziest, no brains or effort required heath care. As such, vaccines are some of the most effective health care. Set and forget.
It’s a very simple idea - there aren’t enough resources available in the world to both keep billions of ordinary people housed and fed and healthy and to provide for the obscene privilege of a wealthy and empowered few.
So a few million ordinary people are going to have to die for the privilege of the few.
The Theil long pause belongs here.
The companies - and the patent-holders - should absolutely be held accountable. If it’s a tax, it’s legal to hurt people for a fee. There should absolutely be accountability for destroying lives, not fixed costs of doing business. The VICP is an evasion of justice for the benefit of corporations. It needed to be eliminated from day 1.
