What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
Federal data on the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) support the core of this claim. A review of the program (drawing on the December 2024 GAO report on HRSA's CICP) found that of the roughly one quarter of claims adjudicated as of mid 2024, only 92 (about 2.6 percent) were deemed eligible for compensation, meaning well over 97 percent of decided claims were denied. Of those 92 eligible claims, only 52 were COVID vaccine related and just about $400,000 had actually been paid out for COVID countermeasure injuries, consistent with only a few dozen people compensated at the time this June 2025 episode aired. Two important caveats: the 98 percent figure applies to claims that have been decided, not all claims filed (a large share remain pending), and the high denial rate reflects the program's strict causation and filing standards rather than proof that the underlying injuries were fabricated. On the numbers cited, the statement is largely accurate.
