Vaccine injury has been so prevalent that U.S Dept of Health and Human Services established the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program which as of October 1, 1988, also includes the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.
According to statistics some 4,000 people fell ill after taking the swine flu vaccine in 1976; 500 contracted a paralyzing nerve disorder and more than 30 people died. Some military personnel and first responders who took the smallpox vaccine in 2003 suffered heart attacks, increased risk of heart inflammation and neurological disorders.
Ordinarily, when our government grants liability exemptions to pharmaceutical companies, it provides some form of relief for consumers who are injured by vaccines. For example, the 1976 Swine Flu Act allowed those who had bad reactions to that vaccine to sue the government under an expanded version of the Federal Tort Claims Act. In 2003, the government set up a compensation plan for people injured by the smallpox vaccine after people refused to get vaccinated without it. And then as mentioned earlier, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has been available for children suffering bad reactions to childhood vaccines.
Unfortunately, if you or your child is injured from getting a swine flu shot, you are on your own. Congress has shielded the vaccine manufacturers and any person giving swine flu shots from lawsuits and there is no funded government vaccine injury compensation program for swine flu vaccine.
