GoKawiilHHS Launches Four-Part Push to Document Alleged Vaccine Injuries
The Department of Health and Human Services announced an agency-wide initiative under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. focused on identifying vaccine-related injuries. The plan includes a new NIH clinic for patients reporting post-vaccination health problems, which quietly opened October 5 with Kennedy in attendance, plus a proposal to pay doctors for submitting reports to the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Critics note VAERS accepts unverified reports from anyone and is frequently cited by anti-vaccine groups and litigants despite the CDC's finding that most entries aren't actually linked to vaccination, so financially incentivizing more submissions could expand a dataset already prone to misuse. The secrecy around the clinic's opening and Kennedy's visit raises questions about transparency that the administration has not explained.
- HHS unveiled a four-part initiative targeting alleged vaccine injuries under RFK Jr.
- A new NIH clinic for vaccine-injury patients opened Oct. 5 without public disclosure until now.
- A proposal would pay doctors to file reports to VAERS, a system the CDC says is often misused.
