Do COVID-19 vaccine injury claims fall into a “black hole”? With over 13,000 COVID-19 vaccine-related claims filed and only 11 payouts totaling $4.9 million as of June 2025, critics say the system lacks fairness and transparency. In this video, we examine Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claim and dig into the real data on the U.S. Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). We also compare CICP with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and explore Kennedy’s proposed reforms to expand coverage, extend deadlines, and improve access to justice.
📊 Featuring official statistics, side-by-side comparisons, and key excerpts from Health Resources and Services (HRSA) and Health and Human Services (HHS).
