Most of the folks around the country who do know it are the folks who have been negatively impacted by these products in one way or another. They know it. They know about the law. They know about the science. They know about these things because when your kid's impacted or you're impacted by a product, you research it. You know about it. And until you don't, you don't.
And I'll say one other thing about that just because I know a lot of people always say to me like, well, if there were vaccines caused a lot of injury or they caused injury, I would know it. And I always say to them, Do you know which drugs cause which injuries? Of course you don't. Even though they come off the market all the time.
Vaccines won't because you can't sue the manufacturers, but drugs do. And do you know which drugs are coming off the market? Do you know what injuries are causing? No. Why would you know? That's right. Why would you know? Why would you know that vaccines cause injury? Why do people, it's always funny to me, people assume that I would know. You wouldn't know. You know who would know?
I'll tell you who would know. It's the firms that accumulate cases for people who are injured. You know who knows that a particular drug is causing harm first? It's the plaintiff's lawyers. There are a lot of things you can say about plaintiff's lawyers. But the one thing is that they know because they're getting phone calls. Hey, I took this drug. Exactly. And they get another call.
And they get another and they're like, oh, a pattern emergence. They're the ones who typically know it and they start accumulating the cases. Just like we've got... I mean, for vaccines, we have, you know, that's what we get called for. We have endless cases.
For COVID vaccines, I mean, it is, we basically had to, our entire phone system is basically, if you're injured by a COVID vaccine, press one and you get instructions to go to our website and just fill a form because there's pretty much nothing we can do for you.
Because not only do they have immunity essentially under the 1986 Act, they have for COVID vaccines a completely another level of immunity called PrEP Act immunity. You can't see those manufacturers for, you can't even go to the VAICP, Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, for COVID vaccine injuries. Seriously? Yes, you can't even go to that program.
Even as limiting as that program is, you have to go to something called the CICP, the Counter Injuries Compensation Program. which we have two federal lawsuits right now we're suing to strike those programs down as unconstitutional because it's the most ridiculous system you've ever, court program you've ever heard of. Who are you filing a claim with? You don't really know. Who's reviewing it?
You don't know. Who's their experts? You don't know. What's their basing it on? You don't know. It's a complete black hole. There's no due process. There's no hearing. You can't confront the people that are going to use to evaluate it. You don't know who the trier of fact is. You don't know who the trier of laws are. You don't know anything.
All you do is you submit a piece of paper and then you get, you know, at some day when, you don't know, you only have one year to file, some response. And the whole program only has about $7 million. Wow. And most of it goes to pay the staff. So we can't compensate anybody. It's a ridiculous program. When I sued- And this is a product of the Prep Act? It's a product of the Prep Act.
And so I sued to render the program unconstitutional on procedural due process. I said, if this program, like the government doesn't have to afford you a remedy, but if I say to you, hey, they can have zoning laws. I said, but you can have a variance on your house. Well, they gotta give you process for that. They can't make it unfair.
It can't be I give you a variance and I don't give that guy a variance. Right, exactly. It's got to be fair. So if there's going to be a process, it has to conform with due process. This thing is the most procedurally defunct program ever. I got a call from a reporter. I forgot which paper, national paper, after I filed the lawsuit. And they said, why are you filing the suit?
I said, here, let me explain it to you in layman terms. If you're injured by a COVID vaccine, fill out a piece of paper, okay? Doesn't matter what you write on it. Use crayons. Go to your backyard. Take a hole. Bury the paper in the hole, cover it up with dirt. Now I want you to water it, make sure it gets a lot of sun, and just wait for it to grow compensation. I said that.
I literally told that to the reporter. I don't think she kept talking to me. But that is what I would describe the program as.
Well, it matters how much you know about this. And it matters how much you understand what I'm actually doing. Are you looking at what the New York Times is saying I'm doing? Or are you looking at what I'm actually doing? Of course. And of course, again, to be clear, I'm an attorney. I just ask questions in many ways kind of like you. I ask questions. I bring suits. I'm looking for answers.
I'm looking for truth. I don't really have any emotional attachment to these products like some people do. And I don't have a need for a priori assumptions. You know, the data, the science, the studies, they are what they are, you know? So it really just depends who.
Um, uh, I would say that, uh, was there a cost to my friendships? Um, well, not friends that you'd want to keep, I guess. Yeah, absolutely. So yes, I would say it absolutely has come with, I guess you would say a cost and, uh, But it also comes with amazing rewards because there's a community of people who really need help and they really need support.
I'll tell you one more story that I think drives us home. So New York City, there were cases of measles in New York City. Remember that back in 2000, a number of years ago, okay? In which nobody died.
in which everyone died, nobody died. And nobody got, I'm not aware of any actual person who got any real issues. And there were thousands and thousands and thousands of cases. You know how I know? Because as the New York City Department of Health said, please stop having measles parties. Why? Because the only way you could get your kid back into school
was if you got the vaccine or you had measles. So there were these giant measles parties occurring in Brooklyn so that people could get their kids back into school. So they could then get blood work to show titers to show they had immunity. In any event, the city of New York decided the way they were gonna deal with that
