10,000 AUSSIES FILE FOR COVID-19 VACCINE INJURY CLAIMS
With 10,000 Australians already filing claims, the Government is in for a shock when the final compensation bill for medical costs and lost wages is caused by COVID-19 vaccine injury.
The government was so unprepared for this that they failed to include any costing for a vaccine injury compensation scheme in their last budget!
I think 10,000 is just the start. As more people become aware of this compensation fund the number of people filing for vaccine injury claims will only grow.
Maybe if they had listened to the people and paid attention to the evidence they wouldn't be so unprepared.
From the Sydney Morning Herald, "Services Australia is building an online portal, to be launched next month, for uncapped claims above $5000 from those who suffered injury and loss of income due to their COVID-19 vaccine, with compensation for medical costs and lost wages to be paid by the government."
"More than 10,000 people have registered their interest to make a claim since registration opened on the federal health department’s website in September, official data shows, meaning it would cost at least $50 million if each claim is approved."
"People who experienced a moderate to significant adverse reaction resulting in a hospital stay of at least one night are covered by the government’s vaccine indemnity scheme."
"Claimants seeking $20,000 or less will need to submit evidence of their injury and its relationship to COVID-19 vaccination, medical costs and lost wages."
"Claims for more than $20,000, including death claims, will be assessed by a panel of independent legal experts and compensation paid based on their recommendations."
"The government has not revealed what standard of proof will be required to establish that the person’s injury was caused by the vaccine."
"Funding for the vaccine indemnity scheme was not included in the 2021-22 budget. It is expected to be funded in the government’s mid-year economic and fiscal outlook."
