Govt. pays $2.5M for Covid vaccine injury; 98% of claims denied

The US government has awarded its largest known COVID-19 vaccine injury settlement—$2.5 million—to a person who developed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), a condition most commonly linked to Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca shots but also reported with Pfizer and Moderna.
While this case resulted in a significant payout, most vaccine injury claims are rejected.
The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) has received 14,234 claims related to COVID-19 vaccines, but 98% have been denied.
Of the 26 approved claims, most received less than $3,500, with nearly all payments under $13,000 except for a $370,376 payout in August 2024, which experts say likely compensated for a death. The most common injuries compensated were cases of myocarditis.
Wayne Rohde, a leading vaccine injury compensation expert, and the author of “The Vaccine Court: The Dark Truth of America’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program“, said many are questioning whether this large payment signals a shift under the Trump administration toward more and higher compensation for vaccine-injured individuals.
However, he dismissed that idea, saying the payout merely highlights the many severely injured people who need proper medical care and are not receiving it.
Rohde added that the award should serve as a wake-up call to elected officials, urging them to take action on the thousands of pending petitions from vaccine injury victims. He also pointed out that in the two months since the last CICP-approved payment had been posted, the program processed only six awards—while dismissing about 140 claims.
Dr. Joel Wallskog, a Wisconsin orthopedic surgeon who developed a severe neurological disorder after receiving the Moderna vaccine, testified before Congress about the program’s shortcomings. He pointed out that while the program claims to compensate victims, most of its funding is spent on bureaucracy instead of payouts….

Special Investigation: Govt. deception over thimerosal in vaccines linked to neurodevelopmental harm in children

Thimerosal was not removed from all vaccines, or “all vaccines given to children,” at any point since 1997, 1999, 2001, or any other date that health authorities commonly claim.
Key points:
- The government has long insisted there are no risks with thimerosal, a mercury-based chemical, used in some childhood vaccines in the 1980s and 1990s, and still an ingredient in some shots today.
- Numerous studies and scientists have found a heightened risk of brain disorders, including autism, in children who get vaccines with thimerosal.
- When autism and other neurological developmental disorders spiked in the late 90s and early 2000s, the government claimed that thimerosal was taken out of all vaccines that children get in 1999 (or 1997, or 2001, depending on the reference). However, that’s untrue.
- There’s been a concerted propaganda campaign to mislead the public on scientific links between thimerosal and autism, as well as other neurodevelopmental disorders.
It’s important to note that among scientists who have found thimerosal is implicated in autism, thimerosal is not said to be the only factor in the autism or neurodevelopmental disorder epidemics. Numerous studies have found genetic susceptibilities can play a role in making a child more vulnerable to vaccine injury. Various studies also implicate additional environmental exposures such as chemicals in our food, water, and medicine.
This investigation will:
- Show proof that thimerosal was never removed from all vaccines as the government and other health authorities claimed
- Provide the scientific background, timeline, and basis for thimerosal safety concerns
- Expose a propaganda campaign and decades-long coverup of scientific information, from the infamous Simpsonwood meeting to the controversial Verstraeten study.
False Claims that Thimerosal was “Removed”
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is one of the most blatant propagandists on this topic. For years, its thimerosal information webpage, approved by none other that of vaccine industry insider Dr. Paul Offit, has contained this misleading statement:
“Thimerosal was removed from vaccines after an amendment to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Modernization Act was signed into law on Nov. 21, 1997.”…
Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson: March 2, 2025 Cover Story Informed Consent
Today we begin with a sea change in America’s framework for conducting experiments on humans. The biggest surprise is— you probably know little to nothing about it.
It surrounds with a provision tucked into a law, then quietly implemented by the FDA. It reverses decades of ethical tenets that were designed to prevent horrific abuses that have occurred in the past. Today’s cover story is uninformed consent.
Dr Cole
A recent study finds the vast majority of US doctors say long term illness after Covid— Long Covid— is a genuine health problem. But only 7% felt confident about diagnosing it… and only 4% confident about treating it.
What’s worse in terms of solutions: the medical establishment is generally grouping vaccine injuries under the heading of Long Covid.
Today we hear from a pathologist who may have been among the first to note mysterious blood clots in deceased people who’d been vaccinated. Dr. Ryan Cole is a Harvard trained medical doctor with a PhD in Health Policy.

Kristi Noem Leads ICE Raids in Northern Virginia After Leak by Reporter (Video)
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem led ICE raids in Northern Virginia Tuesday morning that targeted illegal alien gang members as part of a two-day coordinated action in the D.C. suburbs.
Details of the raids were leaked by Vanity Fair Congressional reporter Pablo Manriquez who also advised targets on how to evade capture.
Noem posted a statement Tuesday saying the raids would not be deterred by leaks, “We will not be deterred by leaks. If you come to this country and break our laws, we will hunt you down. Successful enforcement operation this morning—getting MS-13 members, 18th Street gang members and perpetrators of sexual crimes off our streets.”
Noem later posted the raids were successful, “Northern Virginia is safer this morning after a successful operation getting criminal aliens and gang members off our streets. Thank you to our brave enforcement officers.”
ABC News reporter Rachel Scott was embedded in the raid (excerpt):
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is bringing “consequences” during raids in Virginia on Tuesday.
“There is consequences,” said Noem, who was present during the pre-operation debrief. The raids were assisted by the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott embedded with ICE during two targeted operations on Tuesday. During the first stop, officials arrested a man they say is a member of the 18th Street Gang who was in the country illegally.
The second operation saw agents detain a man who officials said had been convicted of sexual battery. The man, they said, had been deported twice and re-entered the country illegally…

DOGE: $105 Billion Taxpayer Dollars Saved Thus Far

The website, last updated March 2, 2025, now shows $105 billion saved via DOGE efforts.
It notes this figure represents “a combination of asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions.”
The website provides a further breakdown, showing that the $105 billion saved thus far has resulted in a savings of $652.17 per taxpayer.
DOGE provides as many receipts as it can, displaying 2,334 canceled contracts in a variety of government agencies, resulting in a savings of $8 billion. These include many DEIA contracts.
On March 1, DOGE announced on social media the cancelation of even more contracts — “128 contracts for ~$60M of savings.”
Last week, DOGE provided an example of some of the massive grant savings, providing a list of recently canceled NIH grants.
This included $1.7 million “for the ‘China Health and Retirement Longitudinal study’ at Peking University in Beijing, China”; $1.3 million for “transforming health for gender-diverse young adults”; $400,000 “for researching ‘sources of minority stress and alcohol consumption”’ among ‘adults who report uncertainty about their sexual orientation’; and $241,000 for “an intervention to promote healthy relationships among transgender and gender expansive youth.”…
Exclusive — Zeldin: EPA Working with DOJ, FBI on NGO Corruption After Eight Groups Tied to ‘Gold Bars’ Scheme

Zeldin sent shockwaves in mid-February after he had pledged to recover $20 billion in taxpayer funds that had been sent by the Biden administration to climate change projects and other pet projects of Democrat staffers.
The EPA Administrator at the time likened it to “throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” saying that it was a “rush job with reduced oversight.”
However, Zeldin explained to Alex Marlow, the Editor-in-Chief of Breitbart News and host of The Alex Marlow Show, that the Biden administration tied up the money to make it harder for him and the Trump administration to conduct oversight of the $20 billion in “gold bars” to leftist NGOs.
Zeldin said that “the director of the greenhouse reduction fund left an NGO to come to the Biden administration, becomes the director of the greenhouse reduction fund, and gave their former employer $5 billion.”
He noted that one CEO who applied for a $20 million grant sat on the Biden White House environmental justice council, which had only received $3 million over the prior three years.
The EPA had uncovered that $2 billion was set aside for a climate change group, Power Forward Communities, which is associated with Democrat Stacey Abrams, even though the organization had only reported $100 in revenue.
He said that these eight entities which received these grants need to have proper oversight.
When asked by Marlow how he would help unwind this leftist scheme, Zeldin said he had formally referred this financial mismanagement to the EPA Acting Inspector General (EPA IG) for further investigation…
Europe Spent More on Russian Fuel in 2024 than Ukraine Aid

The European Union (EU) has been talking very tough about its unwavering and unlimited support for Ukraine since Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s disastrous visit to the White House, but data published by an independent research organization shows the EU spent more on Russian oil and gas in 2024 than it spent on Ukraine.
The Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), a group opposed to burning fossil fuels, calculated that European nations spent $23 billion buying Russian fuel in 2024, compared to $19.6 billion in foreign aid provided to Ukraine.
CREA also found Russian oil sales to China, India, and Turkey booming, although its total fossil fuel revenue of $254 billion was down three percent from 2023. Russia’s “shadow fleet” of some 558 tankers moved 167 million metric tons of oil in defiance of price caps.
“Despite a host of sanctions, Russian revenues in the third year have dropped by a mere 8% compared to the year prior to the invasion of Ukraine,” the report noted. Furthermore, the effect of sanctions appears to be diminishing, largely due to Russia’s skill at using its shadow fleet to evade price restrictions….
Judicial Watch: DC Police Department Wants over $1.5 Million for January 6 Police Bodycam Footage

Judicial Watch announced today the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department wants to charge the non-profit over $1,570,500 for local police bodycam footage of the January 6 protests.
Judicial Watch filed June 2024 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the Metropolitan Police Department denied an August 2021 FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. District of Columbia (No. 2024-CAB-003453)). Judicial Watch is asking for:
All audio/video recordings captured on body-worn cameras from MPD officers during their response to protest activities in and around the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021; and
All body worn camera video captured by Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone when responding to protests at the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.
The DC Metro Police initially rejected Judicial Watch’s request because, it claimed, the videos were, at the time, “part of an ongoing investigation and criminal proceeding.”
But since President Trumps pardons of January 6 defendants, the DC government will make public the videos (supposedly containing over one thousand hours of footage) if Judicial Watch agrees to pay over $1.5 million.
Judicial Watch has extensively investigated the events of January 6.
A hearing was recently held in the Fani Willis documents scandal regarding her search for records of communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee. Thanks to this lawsuit Willis finally admitted to having records showing communications with the January 6 Committee but refused to release all but one document in response to the court order that found her in default.
She cited a series of legal exemptions to justify the withholding of communications with the January 6 Committee. The only document she did release is one already public letter to January 6 Committee Chairman Benny Thompson (D-MS).
A trial date is currently set for July 20, 2026, in the $30 million wrongful death lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of the estate and the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, by then-Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd…
DEFUND Planned Parenthood: Nation’s top abortion provider misleads on prenatal development

Planned Parenthood, which committed 392,715 abortions in 2022-2023, works hard to deceive women and to hide the truth from them about human prenatal development.
Keeping women in the dark makes it easier for women to undergo abortions at Planned Parenthood under the misconception that their children are nothing more than pregnancy tissue — even weeks into pregnancy. When it doesn’t outright lie about fetal development, Planned Parenthood often simply avoids discussing it.
A former staff member once admitted that Planned Parenthood would not provide patients with information on fetal development. “We never discussed fetal development,” she said. “The baby was referred to as the ‘contents of the uterus’ or a ‘clump of cells.’ On the rare occasion a woman asked about the size of the baby, I would tell her it was about the size of the tip of my pencil, regardless of how many weeks into her pregnancy she was.”
Following the release of Live Action’s “Baby Olivia” — which uses the same scientifically accurate information distributed by National Geographic in an award-winning prenatal development video created by the Endowment for Human Development — Planned Parenthood executives were forced to do damage control, claiming that “Baby Olivia” (which in some states may be shown in elementary and high schools) is nothing more than “propaganda.”
But taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood has for too long had a free pass to deceive women who come to their facilities seeking abortions, while lawmakers and their allies at Planned Parenthood instead seek to destroy and shut down pregnancy help centers that are offering women resources to choose life.
Live Action’s Medical Misinformation undercover videos highlighted the falsehoods women are being told by the nation’s number one abortion corporation:..
Report: United Kingdom funding Mexican group illegally sending abortion pill into US

A report published last week by The Telegraph shows that the United Kingdom has been sending funds to Las Libres, a Mexican organization responsible for illegally sending the abortion pill into the United States.
According to the exposé, the UK’s Foreign Office’s development budget has sent £5 million to the Safe Abortion Action Fund (SAAF) since 2019, which in turn funds Las Libres.
Las Libres was founded in 2000 as an activist group focused on promoting abortion in the traditionally pro-life country of Mexico. Since the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade, it has been running a “shadow” network to smuggle abortion pills to US states where abortion is illegal. By the beginning of 2023, the group claimed it had helped facilitate 20,000 abortions, with the number “growing and growing.”
Veronica Sanchez, the founder of Las Libres, has said that the UK money was not used for US abortion pill distribution. “For our work in the US, to support access to safe abortions, donations come directly from individuals in the US civilian population,” she said…
