Americans harmed by vaccines often receive little or nothing after a long legal battle despite a $3.5 billion federal fund designed to help them.

“Nobody who develops the vaccine, who markets and profits from the vaccine, who regulates the vaccine, who makes policy for it, who promotes it, who gives it, is accountable in a civil court of law,” Barbara Loe Fisher, the President of the National Vaccine Information Center, told Cronkite News.

(Listen to Off The Grid Radio’s in-depth interview with Fisher here.)

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was set up in the 1980s to reimburse victims of vaccines. It is financed by a 75 cent tax that is collected on all vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The problem: The government blocks people from receiving the money.

The program was set up after vaccine manufactures threatened to stop making vaccines in the face of suits. Congress agreed to shield the manufacturers.

“So really they have nothing, these people have nothing,” said Renee Gentry, the president of the Vaccine Injured Petitioners Bar Association. “You either go into this program or you get nothing and it’s waived.”
