Government stalls on compo for Covid vaccine injuries
Less than five per cent of claims have been approved
David Fisher lodged a claim with the national Covid vaccine injury compensation scheme in February 2022, after contracting myocarditis from his Pfizer vaccination. A year and a half on, Fisher’s claim is still in progress, highlighting the gap between political promises and the difficulties that the injured can face in seeking compensation.

Government Stalls On Compo For COVID Vaccine Injuries
Fisher is one of thousands of Australians left hanging since the scheme commenced in December 2021. As of 31 May 2023, only 164 out of a total of 3,160 claims had been approved, which is less than five per cent. 911 claims had been deemed not payable, 505 had been withdrawn, and 2,030 claims remain in progress.
To put this in perspective,
“In the 1990s, the Speaker of the Parliament crashed his bicycle on the way home from work and got $65,000 compensation. The Australian Government paid $785 million for cancelled submarines and got nothing for it, but won’t properly compensate our own citizens for suffering inflicted by a coerced vaccination,” says Fisher. “They need to put their money where their mouth is.”
Fisher is hoping that raising public awareness about the difficulties that the injured are facing in securing proper compensation within a reasonable timeframe will spur some action in the ranks of those who assess and administrate these claims.

At least your government is recognizing the problem and paying some claims! After what they did to Novak Djokovic, I never thought they would acknowledge the adverse effects of the vaccine. The truth will win out eventually. Thanks for all you do to expose the lies.
"Fisher says that if he could go back in time, he would never have had the jab, to begin with. “I would rather have lost my job than go through this.”"
This is the longest, saddest, most unsatisfying 'I told you so' in history. There are no winners here. We are all sinking together. Only question now is whether it will be a short, sharp drop or a long decline. He does realise that we are all paying for his injury right?
"Now that that damage is done, Fisher says he just wants proper compensation so that he can move on with this life."
(facepalm)
Nope. We are not going to make it.
