Speaking to “The Ingraham Angle” on Thursday, RFK said the new system is part of his effort to protect the health of Americans and hold vaccine manufacturers accountable for their products.
🚨 JUST IN: HHS Secretary RFK Jr. announces he will create a new vaccine injury reporting system that is more accurate than the current one

Asked if he believed the experimental Covid-19 vaccine or booster jabs were safe, RFK said he couldn’t accurately respond because “We don’t have good data on it, and that is a crime – the fact that we don’t have a surveillance system that actually works.”
Kennedy went on to describe the inefficiencies of the current federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which was intended to compensate vaccine victims who experience debilitating side effects, up to and including death, but has failed to do so adequately.
“In 2010, CDC had a surveillance system called the vaccine adverse event reporting system, and it’s supposed to pick up injuries, but CDC did a study of that system in 2010, and that study said – and this is a published study by CDC – that it captures less than one percent of the vaccine injuries. That’s inexcusable.”
Kennedy went on to say he’ll implement a new reporting system as has been requested by Congress and multiple health agencies.
“Congress and the Institute of Medicine, the National Academy of Sciences, have repeatedly ordered the CDC to put together a better vaccine reporting system. And we will do that right away.”
For decades, Americans have fallen victim to Big Pharma with little to no recourse; however, RFK is keenly aware of how their often faulty products sometimes lead to injuries and deaths and is determined to hold corporations liable to Make America Healthy Again.
