Canada’s COVID-19 VACCINE INJURY program tops $14M in payouts, with hundreds of claims still left unpaid

07/18/2024 / By Ava Grace

Canada’s compensation program for Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine injuries has topped $14 million in payouts, but hundreds are still waiting to get their checks.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first announced the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) in December 2020, around the time that the first COVID-19 injections were approved in the country. The VISP was launched after Ottawa gave vaccine makers a shield from liability regarding COVID-19 vaccine injuries.

The program’s website says it seeks to “ensure that all people in Canada who have experienced a serious and permanent injury as a result of receiving a Health Canada-authorized vaccine, administered in Canada on or after December 8, 2020, have fair and timely access to financial support.”

Official data from VISP’s last update on June 1 shows that a total of 2,628 individuals vaccinated for COVID-19 have filed claims. However, only 183 have been approved for compensation. The total payout sits at $14 million, meaning that each approved claimant would only receive an average of almost $78,000 in compensation.

Despite claims that the COVID-19 vaccines are “safe and effective,” this has not stopped the Trudeau government from earmarking an extra $36 million for VISP in its 2024 budget. Health Canada has also absurdly promoted the injections as safe, even though the VISP continues to receive claims from vaccine-injured Canadians.

Ottawa still purchasing COVID-19 injections as Canadians REFUSE boosters

Ottawa continues to purchase COVID-19 vaccines despite data showing that most Canadians are flat-out refusing COVID-19 boosters, according to LifeSiteNews. Those who do get deceived into getting these dangerous injections are then forced to experience the difficulty of getting compensated for their vaccine injuries.

A total of 2,172 claims have been “prepared to move forward to a preliminary medical review.” After this point, each claim goes through a lengthy process of approval. For example, 982 claims are in the process of “collecting medical records,” which according to VISP is “often the longest step in the claims assessment process.

There have been a total of 166 appeals made, however only eight have been approved to date by the Canadian government’s Medical Review Board. Meanwhile, a total of 339 claims are “pending administrative review for eligibility.”

All Canadian provinces except Quebec are covered by VISP, which has its own vaccine compensation program that also appears to be slow at paying out to applicants. Some people who were successful in getting payouts from VISP have said that the compensation awarded was insufficient considering the injuries sustained from the COVID-19 shots.

One such individual was Ross Wightman, 42, a resident of Canada’s British Columbia province. Last year, he sued drug manufacturer AstraZeneca, the Canadian federal government, the provincial government and the pharmacy where he was injected with the COVID-19 vaccine. Wightman’s lawsuit stemmed from what he deems as inadequate compensation from the VISP.

The 42-year-old was one of the first Canadians to receive financial compensation from the federal government under the VISP due to a COVID-19 vaccine injury. He was injected with the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in April 2021 but became totally paralyzed shortly after. Wightman was subsequently diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

The vaccine-injured Wightman was given a one-time payment of $250,000 and about $90,000 per year in income replacement. But according to a report by True North, he doesn’t even know if the payout “would ease the pain.”
