A New Vaccine Injury Reporting System: Robert Kennedy Jr., By Mrs Abigail Knight (Florida)

The announcement by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) on The Ingraham Angle regarding plans to launch a new vaccine injury reporting system is significant for several reasons, particularly for those concerned about transparency, accountability, and the integrity of public health data related to vaccines:

RFK Jr.'s comments point out that the current US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which is managed by the CDC and the FDA, is widely recognised as flawed. He specifically mentioned a CDC study from 2010, which concluded that VAERS only captures less than 1 percent of vaccine injuries. This statistic is alarming to those who advocate for better safety and health reporting because it suggests that the system does not adequately track and report adverse reactions to vaccines, potentially leading to underreporting of harmful effects.

This acknowledgment from a public figure with a high profile draws attention to perceived gaps in public health surveillance and fosters the argument that a more effective system is necessary to protect the public.

RFK Jr.'s call to fix this issue "right away" highlights his stance on addressing what he considers a significant public health failing. His claim that the current system is "inexcusable" points to a sense of urgency, urging both the public and lawmakers to take vaccine injury reporting seriously. The emphasis on fixing this system reflects concerns about transparency and accountability in public health decision-making.

Additionally, RFK Jr. referenced both Congress and the Institute of Medicine (now known as the National Academy of Medicine) ordering improvements to the system but pointed out that, in his view, no substantial changes have been made. His stanceappeals to those of us who feel that the government and health authorities have been slow or reluctant to address the issue.

By highlighting the inadequacies of VAERS, Kennedy underscores a broader conversation about trust in public health institutions, especially in the context of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout. During the pandemic, many people raised concerns about the safety of vaccines, and some criticised both the rapid pace of vaccine development and the perceived lack of transparent data on adverse effects. RFK Jr.'s position resonates with those who are sceptical of the current vaccine reporting mechanisms, and his proposal for a more effective reporting system could increase public confidence in vaccine safety tracking.

RFK Jr.'s vocal criticism of VAERS and his pledge to overhaul it could push policymakers to reevaluate the effectiveness of current vaccine safety monitoring systems. If he moves forward with his promise to create a better reporting system, it may lead to new legislation or reform aimed at improving transparency and accountability in vaccine safety reporting.

Moreover, Kennedy's public stance on this issue could resonate with anti-vaccine or vaccine-sceptic groups, potentially galvanizing support for his political or health advocacy causes.

It's important to note that, in making this announcement, Kennedy aligns himself with broader concerns about medical transparency, particularly among those who question governmental health policies. His activism is therefore significant because it reflects an ongoing societal debate about trust in government health institutions and the appropriate levels of oversight and accountability.

RFK Jr.'s announcement about reforming the vaccine injury reporting system touches on the need for greater accountability and transparency in public health systems. His criticism of the existing VAERS system is significant because it brings attention to what he sees as a critical failure in reporting vaccine-related injuries. Whether his efforts lead to systemic changes or not, the discussion he has sparked will likely continue to play a role in shaping conversations about vaccine safety, public health trust, and the integrity of medical data collection in the future.

"Thursday night on The Ingraham Angle, acting HHS Secretary RFK Jr. announced plans to launch a vaccine injury reporting system that actually works in an effort to overhaul or completely replace the flawed VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System).

Kennedy cited a past CDC study showing that VAERS only captures less than 1% of vaccine injuries.

"That's inexcusable," Kennedy said, vowing to fix it "right away."

LAURA INGRAHAM: "Do you think the COVID vaccine was safe? And the boosters were safe? A lot of people talk about adverse effects."

RFK JR: "We don't have good data on it, and that is a crime. The fact that we don't have a surveillance system that actually works.

"In 2010, the CDC had a surveillance system called the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, and it's supposed to pick up injuries. But the CDC did a study of that system in 2010, and that study said, and this is a published study by the CDC, that it captures less than 1% of vaccine injuries. That's inexcusable.

"Congress and the Institute of Medicine, the National Academy of Sciences, have repeatedly ordered the CDC to put together a better vaccine reporting system. And we will do that right away."
