Vaccine Induced Injury. The USA governments pays out $4 billion to victims. But conventional medicine denies that vaccines injure anyone! What's to be done?

According to the Dr Mercola website Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the USA National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has denied that vaccines cause injuries and death. This is not a surprise - it exactly mirrors what conventional medicine consistently tells us - vaccines are entirely safe!

At the same time the USA Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), in their latest release of data and statistics, states that approximately $4 billion has been paid to vaccine-injured victims since 1988.

There can be only two conclusions drawn from these two contradictory facts. Either...

  1. Conventional medicine is seeking to cover-up, lie about the dangers of vaccination, and is in denial about the harm vaccines are doing.
  2. The government is spending public money inappropriately, and taxpayer money is being misappropriated by a government agency.
Which is it?

Every USA citizen needs to know, and it is time that they started to demand an answer to this question from their elected representatives, and the Federal government.

MEDICAL ERRORS. Are they bankrupting the UK's National Health Service? Or are we wrong to blame the doctors?

                "Victims of NHS blunders should receive smaller compensation payouts or the “staggering” costs of Britain’s negligence bills will bankrupt the health service, the Justice Secretary has been told. Health service leaders have written to the Government, calling for cuts to payments for patients who suffer devastating injuries as a result of medical errors."

Sometimes I read a news bulletin on health and I cannot believe what I am reading! So I have to re-read it in order to decide whether I have got it right first time. The Daily Telegraph recently published a series of articles on 'medical blunders' and the cost to the NHS in Britain. (If you live outside Britain, continue reading - this applies to any health service anywhere in the world which is dominated by conventional medicine).

So why is it being suggested that victims of medical blunders receive less compensation when they suffer 'devastating injuries'? It is, according to this Telegraph article (1st February 2018), because it is bankrupting the NHS.

               "The controversial demand follows years of rising negligence payments, with current liability now at £65bn - a rise from £29 billion in 2014/15."

This is an extraordinary figure. The total cost of the NHS each year is currently in the region of £110 to £120 billion, so these compensation charges now represents 50% of the NHS's annual budget, and this is all money that has to be taken out of the health budget, and so is not available for spending on patient treatment and care. So what is the solution being offered?

  1. The NHS is calling for a change in the way compensation bills are calculated under the existing law.
  2. This will mean that patients who have sustained 'devastating injuries' will receive less money.
On the following day the Telegraph published an article by Peter Walsh, "Cutting compensation for those maimed by the NHS would be 'hideously unfair' " which stated that the previous article "is a stark reminder of how desperate our NHS is for more investment". Stark indeed, perhaps even desperate, with such a prodigious rise over the last 3 years.

               "It is ignorant and uncaring to suggest that people who have been harmed or have lost loved ones as a result of NHS negligence should forfeit the compensation they need."

               "We also need to remember that avoidable harm, in fact negligent harm has been caused to these patients and the sum awarded to them is based on an assessment of their actual needs as approved by the courts. It is not some kind of windfall."

Yet even this misses the real point. Conventional medicine causes harm because it is, it always has been, and it always will be AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS FORM OF MEDICAL TREATMENT. 
  • Pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines, on which conventional medicine is totally dependent, are dangerous, even when they are properly prescribed.
  • They are also largely ineffective, and this leads to the need for other inherently dangerous interventions, such as surgery (most surgery would be unnecessary if the drug).
Walsh goes on to outline the reasons for the NHS approaching bankruptcy, and he comes out with the usual culprits - an ageing population - cuts to social care budgets - staff shortages - and lifestyle factors.

Not a single word about the fact that it is the conventional medical system that has produced this level of patient harm and injury.

This is typical of the failure of the mainstream media to do their job -  to investigate and identify where the problems actually exist in health provision. And whilst journalists are content merely to parrot conventional medical mantras (that older people and patient life styles are to blame) there is no chance that the real reason underlying our health problem will ever be identified.

It is also typical of the pharmaceutical industry, the underlying cause of most, if not all the mayhem being caused to patients within the British NHS. They want to be protected from any blame, and the cost of putting right the damage they have cause to patients. 
  • In the USA the pharmaceutical industry is protected from prosecution for vaccine damage by the Federal Government.
  • In Britain, the pharmaceutical industry is protected from paying compensation to its victims by the NHS, via the central government.
It is the failure of conventional medicine that we are witnessing here, but which national governments and the ineffectual mainstream media are refusing to recognise. 

We now need to recognise that pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines are not only (i) ineffective and (ii) dangerous for patients, they are also (iii) extraordinarily expensive.

Vaccines are 'entirely safe' (?) So why are hefty compensation paid to those damaged by them

Vaccines are, of course, entirely safe! Doctors tell us this on a regular basis! 
  • So why is it that people are damaged by them, their lives compromised, and some of these damaged patients actually die? 
  • So why is it that the damage caused by vaccines is recognised, and the victims receive hefty compensation payments?
  • And why is it that even after compensation is paid vaccines continue to be considered 'entirely safe' by doctors?
  • And why is it that conventional medicine, after having done harm, do not offer victims the opportunity to get better with safer, traditional medical therapies?
No vaccine is safe, but take the influenza (flu) vaccine as an example. Doctors will, after all, be telling us over the next few months that we all ought to be having it, and that it is entirely safe.

The Mail online reported on 3rd February 2016 that a young, 10 year old boy, Josh Hadfield, was given the H1N1 vaccine on January 21, 2010, that within three weeks his mother noticed that he would fall asleep even when walking, eating or swimming, every five minutes, sleep for anything up to 19 hours a day, have frequent seizures, and that the vaccine has been found to increase significantly the risk of narcolepsy in children.

The link between the vaccine and narcolepsy (the name of the sleeping disease) was strenuously denied by the conventional medical establishment, support by the Government. This is typical of what happens to people damaged by conventional drugs and vaccines. They face an almost impenetrable wall of denial. So compensation was denied to the family through the Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme because he was not deemed 'severely disabled' enough.

Now wait! The Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme? What is this? And why should such an organisation exist if vaccines are 'entirely safe'? Has anyone heard of the scheme?

Denial is just one tactic used by the conventional medical establishment to hide the damage they do to patients. The other is to avoid providing patients with information, certainly information like this that conclusively proves that vaccines are not 'entirely safe'. The Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme does actually exist. It is a government scheme, and you can read about it on this government website.

          "If you’re severely disabled as a result of a vaccination against certain diseases, you could get a one-off tax-free payment of £120,000. This is called a Vaccine Damage Payment."

So Josh's mother was awarded £120,000 in damages. So that's alright then? Well, no! The Government initially refused to pay out because Josh was not deemed 'severely disabled' enough. His mover had to fight a determined campaign for several years before being awarded damages. The Mail Online quoted her as saying that "it was just a shame we had to jump through this amount of hoops to get this far".

A shame indeed, that she faced an impenetrable wall of denial. A triumph for her that she knew about the Vaccine Damage Award Scheme. Many people damaged by vaccines are not aware of this scheme, and even if they were, many would not get past the wall of doctors and NHS managers telling them that the vaccine was not to blame, that they were 'entirely safe'!

So Josh's family were eventually compensated. So did the drug company eventually had to pay up? Well, no, it does not quite work that way. The drug company tests and manufacturers the vaccine. The drug regulatory agencies pronounce that the vaccine to be safe and effective. Information is given to doctors, who believe what they are told. And doctors give it to us, courtesy of the NHS. In this way the drug companies receive their profit. But they do not pay the compensation when it damages patients! The government pays up! That is, you and I pay, taxpayers. We take responsibility, our doctors, the NHS, the drug regulatory agencies, all of whom has got it wrong, pay nothing! They just pocket their salaries. And,  most important for the drug companies, they do not lose their profit, generated from the sales of a dangerous vaccine!

Yet there is a further problem. Josh's mother is also quoted in the Main Online article,  as saying that "It will help secure Josh's future".

Narcolepsy did not exist before the flu vaccine. And conventional medicine, after causing this 'new' disease, has no treatment for it. This is the basis for needing to 'secure Josh's future'. He has suffered vaccine damage, and he will suffer it for the rest of his life. Conventional medicine has no treatment for narcolepsy. NHS Choices states baldy, 

          "There's no specific cure for narcolepsy, but you can manage the symptoms and minimise their impact on your daily life."

It is this 'management' of the symptoms, alongside a future blighted by regularly falling asleep, that the £120,000 will help pay for. There is no treatment, no cure, which is why this TruthKings article, about the same case, talks about the 'permanent' disability he will now suffer as a result of the damaged cause by the vaccine.

So the final question is this. Why does the government decides to spend £120,000 on compensation for damages without looking at alternative medical therapies to see if they can treat the condition successfully. And it can be treated successfully! The experience of many homeopaths is certainly that the condition can be treated. Two remedies immediately come to mind (although there will be many more, and the task is to find the right one for the individual).

OPIUM. This remedy is indicated where the patient is in a state of confusion, somnolence and dullness. It is commonly used in neurological conditions like narcolepsy and seizures. Opium in potency can also be used in acute conditions like stupor and coma caused by shock/fright, or when the patient suffers no pain, when respiration is slow, noisy and obstructed, when sleep is deep and difficult to disturb.

NUX MOSCHATA. The patient who needs this remedy confused and excessively drowsy, often following an infection, allergy, or shock. Often the patient is mentally dull, with weak memory and absentminded. There is much sleepiness associated with this remedy.

Treating the condition by the use of homeopathy, and other traditional therapies, would be far cheaper, and for the child and his family, far more rewarding than money to spend on someone with a permanent disability.  But the conventional medical establishment does not want us to know about these alternative health option! Josh's mother clearly has not been told about them. And perhaps it is too easy for our government to spend our money on expensive drugs and vaccines, and then compensate damaged patients.

It is a strange, rather perverted reality in which we live!

Failure of Conventional Medicine. Cost of Medical Failure to Big Pharma

Big Pharma drugs have been causing disease and death now for centuries, not least during the last hundred years when so-called 'evidence-based', or 'scientific' medicine has dominated medical practice. One important question is - do drug companies just get away with it? Are they just too powerful and influential to control? Can they continue to cause such havoc in the lives of so many people and their families without being called to account?

The answer is mixed. On the one hand, drug companies are being prosecuted, regularly, in the courts, especially in the USA; and they have to pay out compensation to their victims. Here are a few recent examples:

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) agreed to pay $3 billion to resolve US investigations into its sales, marketing and pricing practices going back over a decade. And  there is more information about this court case, and what it entailed, here.

GSK were also fined $90,000 in an Argentine court - for killing 14 babies in an illegal vaccine trial. The company undertook the trials here, as the article explains, as they would have been illegal in the USA, or the UK. They were apparently conducted with babies from poor, illiterate families.

Pfizer had to pay a fine of $45 million for its menopause drug, Prempro. This article explains how, at the height of the litigation, Pfizer faced more than 10,000 claims that their drug caused breast cancer, and that the company had already begun to settle some suits, putting aside $840 million to do so.

Pfizer are also being sued for birth defects, allegedly cause by their anti-depressant drug, Zoloft. A group of parents have cited medical studies that shows that anti-depressant drugs, like Zoloft, can double the risk of heart defects, that Zoloft itself was inadequately tested, and they have accused the company of negligence, fraud, and misrepresentation.


Merck agreed to pay a fine of just under $1 billion for its drug, Vioxx, pulled from the market in 2004 because it caused heart attacks. The size of this fine will be discussed below, but it follows earlier payouts by the same company, for the same drug, of nearly $5 billion. Yet just how much damage to life has been done by just this single drug. This article asks the question - who killed more Americans? Al Qeda by crashing aeroplanes into the World Trade Center? Or Merck pushing its anti-depressant drug, Vioxx? See the article for the answer!

Johnson and Johnson are also preparing to make out-of-court settlements about its anti-psychotic drug, Risperdal, and this after a civil investigation that has lasted nearly 10 years. It will cost them an estimated $1 billion.

And payments have also been made to the victims of the GSK swine-flu vaccine, Pandamrix.  The vaccine has caused outbreaks of Narcolepsy in countries such as Ireland and Norway.

Yet, on the other hand, whilst these compensation figures, imposed on Big Pharma companies for drug and vaccine induced injury and death, might appear large, they are, in fact, very small. They are certainly tiny in relation to to the harm and distress caused by Pharmaceutical drugs. And tiny, too, in relation to the profits these drugs create.

There is a view that Big Pharma drug companies are just too big, too powerful, too influential to control. This is the view expressed by the Alliance of Natural Health in this article that focuses on Merck, and its now banned drug, Vioxx. As it points out, despite overwhelming evidence that the company knew about the dangers of the drug, and deliberately withheld this information, the company was made to plead guilty to just one 'misdemeanor'. It was not taken to task on deliberately misleading patients about a drug that killed. 50,000 patients sued the company, which was made to pay a fine of $321 million - roughly about $6,000 each!

And as this article says, the disease and death caused by Big Pharma drugs are usually dealt with by small fines. The executives of the companies are never held criminally responsible for their actions, and their devastating consequences.

Even governments pay out damages, albeit secretly, when they are implicated into imposing drugs and vaccines on people that cause they damage. This video describes how the USA government paid parents for vaccine damage caused to their children, and interviews one of them. These payments seem to suggest that governments are aware that drugs and vaccines are causing damage, but that they want to keep this knowledge from us, the patients!

And the damage caused by pharmaceutical drugs, and the claims made by those who have suffered from them, continue unabated.  Indeed there are now lawsuits beginning in the USA for a drug that damaged mothers many years ago, but have now been implicated in causing breast cancer in their daughters. Just how dreadful is this? Drug damage, it would seem, now affect not only the generation that take the drug - but the next one too! The drug companies are, of course, denying any connection with the drugs.

The question is, how much longer will this charade of drug damage, and compensation claims, continue - and all in the name of health?
