I didnt mean the 99-1 ratio in a literal way.
The article mentions the VCIP in the last paragraph:
The VICP allows for recovery of pain and suffering, attorney’s fees, along with medical expenses and lost wages, if any,” said Michael Maxwell, a lawyer who practices in the areas of business litigation and personal injury. “Under the CICP, it’s only lost wages and out-of-pocket medical expenses. That’s it, unless there’s a death.”
The Covid-19 vaccines, however, aren’t on the list of eligible vaccines.
Reiss said the best fix would be to change VICP’s rulebook to add Covid vaccines to its list of covered inoculations. “That will require legislative change. I hope that legislative change happens.”
Hopefully the law is changed very soon and retro active.
The vaccines are obviously safe but the 0.000.....01 % (whatever that number is) who picked the short straw need to be compensated.
