This article reports that a BC man got a payout from the vaccine injury fund after getting Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Guillain-Barré Syndrome is a well-known but extremely rare (1 in 700,000) side-effect of vaccination. I knew about the vaccine injury fund, and thought it was a Good Thing. What I did not know was that the max payout is only $284,000. That seems pitifully small to me.
