Americans injured by COVID-19 vaccines face a different compensation system than those injured by flu shots, MMR, or other routine vaccines. The result: a 0.3% approval rate vs. ~48%. This site explains why, and what can be done about it.
What Happens to a Claim?
Over 14,046 Americans have filed COVID-19 vaccine injury claims with Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). Here's what's happened to them so far.

Same Injuries. Different Outcomes.
COVID-19 vaccines use CICP (Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program). Routine vaccines use VICP (Vaccine Injury Compensation Program). The difference in outcomes is staggering.

Without the Outlier
Remove that single $5.94M payment and the typical CICP compensation becomes clear. Here's what most injured Americans can actually expect:

The Fund Can Handle This
The math works. Even with conservative projections, the trust fund can absorb COVID claims, especially with modest congressional support. Money isn't the barrier to fair compensation.
