Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) asked for details regarding the U.S. government’s compensation of three individuals injured by the COVID-19 vaccine.
Senator Johnson outlined his inquiries in a letter to Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Xavier Becerra, and Carole Johnson, the administrator of the Health and Resources Administration (HRSA).
The member of the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations asked if the government has advertised its Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), the only source of federal compensation for COVID-19 vaccine injuries.
Johnson also asked what criteria make an individual eligible to receive CICP compensation and if there a “cap on the amount of money an individual can receive as compensation.”
Reporting from The Epoch Times:
“Although the government appears to be providing very limited compensation to individuals who have filed COVID-19 vaccine injury claims, the process by which HHS evaluates these claims or even advertises the existence of this compensation program remains opaque,” Johnson told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement. “HHS owes the American people a complete explanation of its administration of the compensation program for individuals who have suffered COVID-19 vaccine injuries,” he added.
