Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP, 1988)
programBiotech & Transhumanism
There's a special court for vaccine-injury claims with no jury, no discovery, and paid for by a tax on the vaccines themselves.
Who they are
The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), created in 1988.
What they do
The engine describes it as a no-fault system that shields manufacturers.
How it works
Claims go to a special federal court in Washington DC with a reduced burden of proof but no jury trial and no discovery from manufacturers. It's funded by an excise tax on each vaccine dose, so consumers effectively pay for their own injury compensation while makers are shielded from the cost.
Why it matters
It matters because the structure moves the financial burden onto consumers and away from manufacturers, with fewer of the legal tools an ordinary lawsuit would offer.
The engine's record — word for word
HHS-operated no-fault compensation program established by NCVIA. Petitioners file in US Court of Federal Claims (Washington DC); reduced burden of proof against formidable federal opposition. No jury trial. No discovery from manufacturers. Funded by per-dose vaccine excise tax — consumer pays for own injury compensation while manufacturer is shielded from cost.
