RFK Jr says he’ll ‘fix’ a vaccine program - by canceling compensation for people with vaccine injuries
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has vowed to "fix" the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a program that compensates people who suffer rare side effects from vaccines. Experts warn that changes to this program could make it challenging to keep existing vaccines on the market or develop new ones. While some changes to the VICP must come from Congress, Kennedy could take various actions to reshape or impact the program's operations. The article suggests that these potential changes could make it harder for people who experience rare vaccine side effects to receive financial assistance.
