Ep. 67 - 1986 Media Coverage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act

Today we review two newspaper articles—from the LA Times and NY Times—surrounding the passage of the 1986 Act and discuss how vaccine injury was openly acknowledged by the media back in the 80s, compared to the cover-up we see today. We discuss the multiple layers of the omnibus bill, and learn how removing liability for manufacturers was a dangerous addition to what many assumed was a compensation program designed to support victims and their families. bit.ly/vaxconv --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevaccineconversation/support
