Vaccine Damage: Parents receive $2bn compensation pay-outs
04 October 2007
Vaccine manufacturers have paid out nearly $2bn in damages to parents in
America whose children were harmed by one of the childhood jabs such as the
MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) or DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus).

In all, around 2,000 families have received compensation payments that have
averaged $850,000 each. There are a further 700 claims that are going
through the pipeline.

None of the claims is for autism as medical researchers say they have failed
to find a link between the disease and the MMR vaccine, despite the initial
findings made by Dr Andrew Wakefield. Instead they are for a wide spectrum
of physical and mental conditions that are likely to have been caused by one
of the vaccinations.

Around 7,000 parents have filed a claim of an adverse reaction with
America's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). To win an award, the
claimant must prove a causal link to a vaccine. As the medical establishment
has refused to recognise any link to autism, the VICP has so far rejected
300 claims for this outright.
