The Vaccine Court: The Dark Truth of America's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

Description

A hard look at the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and the families desperately trying to navigate their way through it. "The Vaccine Court" looks at the mysterious and often unknown world of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), the only recourse for seeking compensation for those who have been injured by a vaccine.

Wayne Rohde is the father of Nick Rohde, a vaccine-injured child who regressed into severe autism after receiving his first set of childhood vaccinations. He lives in Woodbury, Minnesota.

"Here you have it, in black and white: the unfairness, the corruption and system-wide bias, documented for the world to see. The VICP is in need of complete reform, or it needs to be abolished altogether. This book may well trigger the outcry in the public to start that much-needed process. Injustice cannot be addressed until the spotlight is pointed directly at the problem. And Mr. Rohde has done that brilliantly. He has done a great service in writing this book. The VICP can no longer hide in the dark, protected by silence. People can now know the truth, and that is a huge victory. This is a must-read book." Sylvia Pimentel, vice-president of the California chapter of the National Autism Association, and founder and moderator of Sac-Autism-Biomed "Wayne Rohde has lifted the veil over the murky tort reform experiment known as the "Vaccine Court." In exposing the program's imbalanced liability protection for powerful vaccine manufacturers, he has performed a valuable public service." Robert J. Krakow, attorney and coauthor of Unanswered Questions from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: A Review of Compensated Cases of Vaccine-Induced Brain Injury "Few Americans know about the US 'Vaccine Court,' yet it may be their only recourse if they suffer an adverse vaccine reaction. In this groundbreaking book, Rohde details how the 'court' works, or rather does not work, and the critical problems that bedevil it. Written with compassion and based on extensive research, Rohde's book is a must-read for all those concerned about the intended and unintended consequences of US vaccines."
