Sorry Name3 but you are the one who is putting our half-truths...
In 1986 when the VICP was first created vaccine makers were protected from lawsuit by the public. The VICP insulates vaccine manufacturers from liability and requires that petitioners bring their petitions solely against HHS. They may not sue manufacturers or healthcare practitioners. The rationale for this industry and professional protection was to ensure a stable childhood vaccine supply and to keep prices affordable.
The 1986 Law also permits the vaccine makers the right to not disclose known risks to parents or guardians of those being vaccinated. Based on something called the “learned intermediary” doctrine, manufacturers bear no liability for giving, or failing to give, accurate or complete information to those vaccinated.
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has failed?
That goes back to 2002 when nearly five thousand families filed petitions with the VICP claiming that vaccines had caused their children’s neurological disorder called “autism.”
According to the Pace Law Review, in an unprecedented proceeding, the VICP created and conducted the Omnibus Autism Proceeding that concluded in 2010. That means instead of taking the cases one at at time, they consolidated hearings for all these families. In the end, the VICP dismissed all the “test case” claims of vaccine-induced autism.
But there is more… A Review of Compensated Cases of Vaccine-Induced Brain Injury finds that The VICP has compensated approximately 2,500 claims of vaccine injury since the inception of the program in 1986.
Since that time, despite the official ruling that there is no link between vaccines and autism, there have been at least 83 cases of autism among those compensated for vaccine-induced brain damage.
but I guess I'm just lying. Just as HuffPo is lying in 2013 when they reported that "The federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, better known as “vaccine court,” has just awarded millions of dollars to two children with autism for “pain and suffering” and lifelong care of their injuries, which together could cost tens of millions of dollars..."

So do you still claim that not one child with symptoms of autism and ultimately an ASD diagnosis has not been awarded compensation by the VICP?
As for the VICP itself, the program has many flaws... including the fact that during its start, 90% of claims were on the table. 30 years later, the number of vaccines being offered to children and families has TRIPLED but the number of claims allowed has become much more restrictive. In fact today, 90% of claims are forced into off-table litigation.
The reality is this... THIS IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE. You want to pretend it is not. You want to pretend that there are no questions to ask. You want to pretend that these issues are settled and yet tens of thousands of children in this country have been injured by vaccines (oh and by the way, I have still never claimed that vaccines do cause autism) but here is what I have said and I will say it again. Not all vaccines are safe for all people in all quantities at all ages. That is what I have reported and those are the facts.
