Most of the pro-vax people I have run across discount parent testimony (unless it is "my brother had the mumps and it was awful so we will give all of you vaxxes!"….in which case they do a happy dance wink1.gif)

 

Honestly, the whole thing is offensive…towards parents!

I discount it in that I don't think it can be generalized, but that's different than criticizing it.

This is from the HRSA website:

Compensation varies, depending on the injury, and can include as much as $250,000 for pain and suffering, lost earnings, legal fees, and/or a reasonable amount for past and future care. For a death, you may receive as much as $250,000 for the estate and legal fees.

That's different from what was inthe PDF, but I still think that 250k is limited to pain and suffering and the other stuff is on top of that, but the way that's written I ambiguous.

There is a cap on pain and suffering only (which is $250k).  There is no limit on medical costs and payments are compensable with your medical needs.  Lost earnings are separate as well as legal fees.  See page 9 of the link provided below for the breakdown.

Sorry Rrrrachel, we posted the link at the same time.  Again, not here to debate pro or con anything, but when I see misinformation dispersed on the internet, I feel compelled to counter with the correct information.

asserting that one is posting correct info & the others are just 'dispensing misinformation on the internet' is ad hominem in nature

The 250G number is in fact, a real number & it comes from the front page of the Government's VICP website. As I have shown.

And in the end we are quibbling about the price of a child's life . . .

I knew this was going to go there. That's a completely unfair characterization. A child's life is obviously priceless and no amount of money is worth harming a child, or worse.

Hopefully you'll look at the PDF that was linked, it presents the information in a much clearer way.

dinahx, this post was way out of line and personally attacking Rrrrrachel. Edit it or I can delete it for you.

I don't appreciate the assertion that I didn't look @ the PDF anymore than I appreciate the idea that the 250G number was a fictional one.

It is a completely fair characterization that the VICP involves compensation for health & in some cases life. We have to remember the gravity of this discussion.

In defense of my prior post, and with all due respect, I wasn't arguing or even claiming that the 250k was a fictional number.  What I was trying to clear up is that the $250k represents pain and suffering only.  It represents a capped portion of a certain type of damage among other damages.  I can see how one could read that to mean a $250 cap on all damages and perhaps that portion of the website could have been a little more clear.  I'm used to seeing damages laid out like this, though, and just wanted to clear up (what I perceived to be) the notion that $250k was the limit on the total claim.
