The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) is being criticized as\u200d a\u2064 &#8220;kangaroo\u2064 court&#8221; that disregards Americans&#8217; constitutional rights, including due\u200c process. The plaintiffs, who experienced issues \u2062such as Bell&#8217;s palsy after vaccination, argue that\u200c the program \u200clacks transparency and fails to\u2062 provide relief through the \u2063judicial branch.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit demands changes to the program, including the disclosure of the identities of those reviewing claims, confirmation of their impartiality,\u200d and\u2063 a process \u2062for claimants to gather evidence.\u2064 The suit also challenges the immunity \u2064granted to vaccine manufacturers under the\u2062 Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related\u200c Stories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/epochtv\/14615-reports-of-mental-disorders-overwhelm-vaccine-injury-historic-data-5505631?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>14,615 Reports of Mental Disorders Overwhelm \u200cVaccine \u2064Injury Historic Data<\/strong><\/a>  -\u2062 10\/7\/2023<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/health\/study-finds-signs-of-heart-injury-in-asymptomatic-vaccinated-people-5498717?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>Study Finds\u200d Signs of Heart Injury in Vaccinated People Without Chest Pain<\/strong><\/a>  &#8211; 9\/27\/2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<p>The lawsuit argues that\u2064 the CICP \u2063violates due process rights, lacking hearings and meaningful \u200copportunities for claimants to be heard. The government&#8217;s\u200c refusal\u200d to disclose decision-makers, standards, and materials used further \u2062undermines\u2064 the \u2063program&#8217;s legitimacy. \u200bThe Health Resources\u2064 and Services Administration, which oversees the CICP, and the Department of Health and Human\u2062 Services have not responded to requests \u2063for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The\u200c CICP was established in 2005 \u2062to compensate individuals injured by certain \u2064products.

The plaintiffs argue \u200cthat the program&#8217;s current lack of accountability \u200cand delays have caused significant harm to individuals\u2063 who are unable to afford necessary medical\u200b treatments.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>New Court?<\/h2>\n<p>The \u2064lawsuit calls for \u200bjudicial review of claims made to the CICP, similar to the process established by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). However, Congress has yet \u200cto approve bills proposing \u2062the transfer of CICP claims \u2062to the VICP. \u2062React19, a support \u200cgroup for vaccine-injured individuals, supports the move\u2062 to the VICP\u200d but \u200cjoined the lawsuit due \u2062to the lack of progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Vaccine Injured Petitioners Bar Association acknowledges the\u200b plaintiffs&#8217; frustrations with the CICP but believes\u200d that the\u2062 VICP \u200bis the appropriate venue for COVID-19 vaccine injury claims. The\u2064 VICP\u2062 has awarded over\u2062 $4 billion to individuals injured by \u200cvaccines since \u2064its inception in 1986.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>Rejections<\/h2>\n<p>Some plaintiffs, including\u200b Cody Flint and Dr. Joel Wallskog, had their claims rejected by the CICP despite presenting strong \u2062evidence of\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-rogan-slams-google-you-guys-are-hiding-information\/\" title=\"Joe Rogan Slams Google: \u2018You Guys Are Hiding Information\u2019\">vaccine-related injuries<\/a>. The program&#8217;s administrators have cited a lack of compelling \u2062evidence as the reason for denial. However, the\u2062 CICP has\u2062 only\u2062 paid four individuals out of 32 approved claims, totaling a mere $8,592.89.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The lawsuit highlights the need for \u200creform in the\u200b CICP to ensure fair compensation for\u200b COVID-19 vaccine injuries and protect individuals&#8217; constitutional \u2062rights.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200cHow has the lack of transparency and accountability within the CICP affected the claimant&#8217;s suffering and overall status \u2063of her claim?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Tainty about the status of her claim. This lack\u2063 of transparency and \u2063accountability within the CICP has only exacerbated her suffering. Similar stories of individuals\u2062 experiencing\u2064 adverse reactions\u200b to the COVID-19 vaccine and struggling to receive compensation have \u2064also \u2062come\u2064 to light, highlighting the need for a thorough examination\u200d of the program.<\/p>\n<p>One major concern raised by the lawsuit \u2063is the immunity granted to vaccine manufacturers under the Public \u2063Readiness and Emergency Preparedness\u200d Act. This \u2062immunity shields vaccine manufacturers from liability for \u2063any harm caused by their products. While this\u200c measure was put in place to incentivize the production and distribution of vaccines during a\u200d public health crisis,\u2064 it also prevents individuals who have\u200c suffered injuries from \u2064seeking appropriate compensation.<\/p>\n<p>The plaintiffs argue\u2063 that \u2062this \u2062blanket immunity unfairly places \u200cthe burden on the injured party, denying them their right to seek justice through the judicial system. By challenging the constitutionality of \u2063this provision,\u200b the lawsuit\u2062 seeks to hold vaccine\u2064 manufacturers accountable for any negligence\u2064 or wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>Another \u2064issue raised by the lawsuit \u200cis the lack\u2062 of transparency and due process within the CICP. The plaintiffs assert \u2062that the program operates as a &#8220;kangaroo court,&#8221; denying individuals their constitutional right to\u200c a fair and impartial hearing. They claim that decision-makers for the program are undisclosed, \u200cleaving claimants without any knowledge of who is reviewing their\u200d case. This lack of transparency undermines the legitimacy of the program and raises questions about its fairness.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the lawsuit demands that claimants be allowed \u2063to gather evidence to support their claims. \u200bCurrently, the \u2064burden of proof lies on the \u200dclaimant to demonstrate that their injuries were a direct result of the COVID-19 \u2062vaccine. However, without access \u200dto the necessary resources and information, this becomes\u2064 an almost \u200bimpossible \u2062task. By providing a process for claimants to gather \u2063evidence, \u2063the plaintiffs seek to level the playing field and ensure that\u200b individuals have a fair chance at receiving compensation for their injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of addressing \u2062these issues cannot be overstated. As more and\u200c more individuals are vaccinated against COVID-19, it is crucial that a fair and equitable compensation program is in place to provide support to those \u2062who may suffer vaccine-related\u2064 injuries. The current deficiencies within the CICP not only undermine the trust \u2064in\u2062 the program but also deny \u2064individuals their constitutional rights.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u200c now\u200d up to the courts to determine\u2062 the \u200dvalidity of these claims and\u200b whether changes need to be implemented within\u2063 the CICP. The outcome of this lawsuit\u2064 will have significant implications for\u200d the rights\u200d of individuals \u2062who have suffered \u200bvaccine injuries and will\u200d serve as a critical step\u200b in \u2062ensuring a just and\u2063 fair compensation \u2064program for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Constitution is allegedly violated by the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), a federal initiative that has only compensated four individuals for COVID-19 vaccine injuries.
