All of those examples are for things caused by the vaccine itself though. They're not including things like, say, people who got HIV due to medical staff reusing needles while giving vaccinations.
- eesmith 8y ago1) they are not all "caused by the vaccine itself." I even quoted how payments have happened when "the injury was not caused by the vaccine". 2) The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 only covers manufacturers, not healthcare workers, and doesn't protect manufacturers who fail to exercise due care. Thus there would be no payout from your example because it's not covered. Instead, the healthcare provider can be sued directly for medical malpractice.
