Department Of Health And Human Services comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from August 2018 to July 2021.
Adult Vaccine Injuries and Guillain-Barre Syndrome Trends
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has shifted from primarily serving children to compensating adults, who now make up over 93% of successful claims. Wayne Rohde explains that most of these cases involve Guillain-Barre Syndrome from flu shots or Sirva (shoulder injury related to vaccine administration).
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and Liability
The discussion explains the legal immunity granted to vaccine manufacturers under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. They detail the process of filing claims against the Department of Health and Human Services and share the story of Christina Tarsell, whose death was eventually compensated by the program.

She notes that any institution receiving federal funds must conform to federal curriculum requirements.
