Thousands Believe Covid Vaccines Harmed Them. Is Anyone Listening?

10. Hmmm

The Covid vaccines, a triumph of science and public health, are estimated to have prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths. Yet even the best vaccines produce rare but serious side effects. And the Covid vaccines have been given to more than 270 million people in the United States, in nearly 677 million doses.

Dr. Zimmerman’s account is among the more harrowing, but thousands of Americans believe they suffered serious side effects following Covid vaccination. As of April, just over 13,000 vaccine-injury compensation claims have been filed with the federal government — but to little avail. Only 19 percent have been reviewed. Only 47 of those were deemed eligible for compensation, and only 12 have been paid out, at an average of about $3,600.

Some scientists fear that patients with real injuries are being denied help and believe that more needs to be done to clarify the possible risks.

While I understand there are vaccine injuries, I was trying to work out the math, 13,000 is what percent of 677,000,000? I want those with such injuries to have help available to them, but I worry this kind of article, or at least the way it’s worded helps fuel the anti-vax crazy people.

Anyway, it needs to be talked about

I met someone who was working on an HIV vaccine. He says a couple of the problems were the HIV virus itself, and how it mutated, but another problem was developing a vaccine with no side-effects, so that people would take it. Anti-vax assholes have a lot to answer for
