Also two lamps. One if by land, two if by sea…
Blessed dubs confirm
Bet this is under reporting still and as more time passes, more will be filing. Many don't even know how to file a claim.
Are we STILL going to CONTINUE down this VERY DARK ROAD without BACK UP? Who has our 6? ENOUGH!!
423 million COVID-19 doses administered. 3,100 injury claims filed. $0 paid out.
Hours after Diane Spears got the single-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine on March 27, she felt woozy and lethargic, and it only got worse from there.
Doctors at two hospitals diagnosed the Oxford, Pennsylvania, woman with a blood-clot-induced stroke, but it was too late. She died on April 6.
Spears, 68, had never had a stroke and didn't have a known heart condition. Her husband, James Spears, suspects his wife is among the very rare cases of people who developed blood clots and suffered a stroke after getting the J&J vaccine.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention paused the J&J vaccine in April after reports of adverse events before deciding the benefits outweighed the risks of keeping it off the market. Of more than 15.5 million doses of the vaccine administered as of Oct. 27, the FDA and CDC identified 48 cases of people who developed blood clots and low platelet counts, a condition called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome.
Several studies have shown vaccines are safe and effective and serious side effects are uncommon. Of the more than 423 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the United States administered through Nov. 1, reports of death remain extremely rare, just .0022% of doses administered. And those reports collected through a joint CDC-FDA reporting database, called Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, don't necessarily mean that a vaccine caused the death.
In July, after Diane Spears' death, an attorney representing her family submitted a claim to an obscure federal program that compensates people for serious side effects from vaccines, drugs and other treatments. People who claim injury under the program face an uphill battle getting a favorable decision.
Even before COVID-19 vaccines became common in the USA, the federal Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program rejected more than 90% of nearly 500 claims. Since then, the Health Resources and Services Administration-run program has experienced a fivefold increase in claims related to COVID-19 vaccines and treatments.
Spears’ case is among 3,158 claims alleging injuries from COVID-19 interventions since the beginning of the pandemic. Of those claims, 1,357 allege injuries or deaths from COVID-19 vaccine.
None of those claims has been paid, and only two vaccine cases have been rejected. One rejected claim alleged the vaccine caused swelling of the tongue and throat, difficulty speaking, swallowing and dizziness. The other alleged the vaccine caused a sustained shoulder injury.
Just one COVID-19 claim has been deemed eligible for compensation, but HRSA staff is reviewing allowable expenses. That leaves more than 3,000 cases still under review, a pace that frustrates people such as James Spears who want answers.
He knows his claim won't bring his wife back, and he's not even sure if it would cover the final cost of hospital, medical helicopter and other bills after insurance kicks in. But the pace of the agency’s decision-making underscores the pain and anguish.
"As far as being compensated, that's fine, but it really doesn't replace her," Spears said. “How much can you put on a life? As far as I’m concerned, there’s no real compensation they can give me.”
Not confident that anything is being done'
Despite the backlog of COVID-19 claims, HRSA has assigned a staff of just five employees and six contractors to conduct medical reviews.
Families who have filed claims and attorneys who represent them say the program does not provide timely compensation or responses.
David Carney, a Philadelphia attorney who represents people claiming injury from COVID-19 vaccines and other vaccines, didn’t anticipate such a large number of pending claims nearly one year after the new vaccines became available.
“I’m not confident that anything is being done with respect to COVID vaccine injuries in the countermeasures program,” Carney said. “I didn’t think this would be the case when we got to November 2021. But now this is the nightmare that’s coming down.”

We need to DEMAND more TRANSPARENCY then.
We've been HOLDING THE LINE.
We've dug, meme'd and prayed.
Q said to BE LOUD.
Well, we complained that 20% visibility was NOT ENOUGH, and we were granted 40%.
Well, we need to renegotiate that % again.
PATRIOTS GET LOUD.
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY or we will never have UNITY
