Some added information: Some might wonder, won't the US government pay me if I am injured (as unlikely as that is)? For example, the young man the article talks about as having been injured? Yes - there is a fund, the CICP (Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program). However, your odds of getting paid are basically nil, as an adult; due to an extremely high standard for proving causation, lack of awareness, and limited claim time (1 year from date of vaccination). So if you have a long-term effect after, say, 3 years needing compensation, you won't be paid. "As of October 1, 2022, the CICP has partially compensated one COVID-19 countermeasure claim. There are potentially additional expenses to be calculated for this claim, therefore, the claim is still in the “Pending” compensation status. Forty-seven COVID-19 countermeasure claims have been denied compensation because the standard of proof for causation was not met and/or a covered injury was not sustained. Six COVID-19 countermeasure claims, all of which are COVID-19 vaccine claims, have been determined eligible for compensation and are pending a review of eligible expenses. One eligible claim is the result of anaphylaxis, and five claims are the result of myocarditis." Six payouts as of October 1st, 2022. https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp/cicp-data https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp/cicp-data
