The federal government Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services just concluded their third meeting of 2019 on September 6th.

These quarterly meetings include a report from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on cases settled for vaccine injuries and deaths as mandated by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP). The September 2019 report can be found here.

The NVICP was started as a result of a law passed in 1986 that gave pharmaceutical companies legal immunity from being sued due to injuries and deaths resulting from vaccines.

So far in 2019 the NVICP has paid out $206,295,187.00 in damages due to vaccine injuries and deaths. (Source.)

This is public information, but it is not covered in the corporate “mainstream” media. As far as we know, Health Impact News is the only media source that publishes these DOJ reports on vaccine injuries and deaths each quarter. Past reports can be found here.

In fact, by publishing these government reports, we are accused of publishing “fake news,” even though all the facts we are publishing here come from government-funded reports. (See: Self-Appointed Internet Police Declare MedicalKidnap.com and DOJ Vaccine Court Reports Fake News.)

The only narrative that corporate “mainstream” media outlets are allowed to publish regarding vaccines, is that they are “safe and effective,” and that the “science is settled.” Only medical professionals who agree to this narrative are allowed a voice in these media outlets.

Where the true facts regarding the danger and risks caused by vaccines are hard to hide are in the courts, such as these quarterly DOJ reports, which are mandated by law to be published.

So outrageous are the efforts of the corporate media giants to suppress this information, that in the rare instances where an attorney may be interviewed by them, the attorney’s credibility is attacked, usually by appealing to the authority of a doctor.

In other words, facts don’t matter.

To see this on display yourself, view this recent interview on CNN with NYC attorney Robert Krakow, discussing a lawsuit brought by parents who were denied religious exemptions to the MMR vaccine due to a supposed “measles outbreak.”

Robert Krakow is a vaccine injury attorney, who deals with vaccine injuries in the federal vaccine court. And yet, the CNN news host disclaims everything he has to say by personally attacking him for not being a medical doctor and therefore not qualified to speak about the safety of the MMR vaccine, and stating that their own TV doctor, Sanjay Gupta, has already assured everyone that the MMR vaccine is completely safe, and therefore Attorney Krakow must be wrong.

This is a rare moment in the corporate-sponsored “mainstream” media where it can be clearly seen that facts regarding vaccines don’t matter, only their own hand-selected “medical authorities” are qualified to discuss this topic.

Attorney Krakow: “We have medical experts too.”

The September 2019 DOJ report states that 307 petitions were filed during the 3-month time period between 5/16/19 – 8/15/19, with 228 cases being adjudicated and 179 cases compensated.

The September, 2019 DOJ report only lists 87 of these settlements for vaccine injuries and deaths, and 65 of those were for damages caused by the flu vaccine (see below).

Full report here.

Vaccines Cause Injuries and Deaths: But How Many?

Vaccines can cause injuries and death – this is a public health fact in spite of the corporate media’s attempts to censor these facts.

In the few instances where these facts are even mentioned, they are brushed aside with the belief that they are rare, and that the risk is worth it because more people die from the diseases being vaccinated against.

So the logic is that vaccines are necessary for the “greater good.”

Leaving aside the claim that vaccines are actually effective in preventing these diseases, which the scientific evidence actually suggests is a “belief” and not a fact based on science, the claim that vaccine injuries and deaths are “rare” really is not backed up by any verifiable data.

In November of 2014, the Government Accounting Office (GAO) issued the first report on America’s “Vaccine Court,” known as the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), in almost 15 years.

Congress gave the pharmaceutical companies immunity against lawsuits for injuries or deaths resulting in vaccines in 1986. Prior to this time, there were so many lawsuits pending against pharmaceutical companies for injuries and deaths due to vaccines, that the pharmaceutical industry basically blackmailed congress and told them that if they did not grant them legal immunity against the liabilities of vaccines, that they would quit making them.

These vaccine products cannot survive in a free market, they are so bad.

The November 2014 GAO report criticized the government for not making the public more aware that the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program exists, and that there are funds available for vaccine injuries. Therefore, the settlements represented by vaccine injuries and deaths included in the DOJ report probably represent a small fraction of the actual vaccine injuries and deaths occurring in America today.

The U.S. government keeps a database of reports documenting vaccine injuries and deaths called The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The problem is that very few medical officials ever report vaccine injuries or deaths, either because they are not trained to recognize them, or due to pressure within their profession to not report them. To admit that vaccines do cause harm is professional suicide for most doctors and medical professionals.

Hence, the quarterly DOJ report on vaccine cases only represents a tiny fraction of the actual cases that exist.

U.S. Government being Sued for Lack of Vaccine Safety

When the 1986 National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVIC) was signed into law, it had certain provisions included to make sure vaccines were regularly tested for safety, since the pharmaceutical companies were being given legal immunity due to faulty vaccines.

The federal government Health and Human Services (HHS) department is tasked with this vaccine safety reporting, and a recent lawsuit has revealed that they have failed to conduct such vaccine safety studies since the law was implemented in 1986. See:

Since these facts about vaccines are routinely censored by the pharma-financed “mainstream” media and in government hearings, most of the public is largely unaware of the 1986 NVIC, and that pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued, and that one has to sue the U.S. Government in a special vaccine court.
