With the announcement by Sec’y of HHS Beccera to extend The PREP Act provisions for another 5 years, through the end of 2029, was it more about fearmongering the debate over the COVID virus, or was it about bailing out a failing industry?
Hi Wayne, I have been enjoying your informative articles, as well as your original book. I have a question regarding a different article (but I could not figure out how to comment there, so I'm writing here).

"Once the Sec’y of HHS lists the COVID vaccines as part of the NVICP, in the past with influenza and Hep A and B vaccines where added, an injured person or their estate/guardian has 2 years to file the claim with an 8 year “look-back” provision. Meaning if this process of listing the COVID vaccine as part of the NVICP happens in 2025, injured persons have 2 years from the listing date (2027) to file a claim for a COVID vaccine injury that occurred as far back as 2017. This procedure is only used for adding new vaccines to the program."
Can you explain more about the 2 years to file a claim versus the 8 year look-back, and how that relates to the standard 3 years statute of limitations normally given for vaccines covered in the NCVIP?
Sec'y of HHS can add vaccine to NVICP. Then he can invoke the 2 year filing period, meaning all those who have been injured from the vax within the last 8 years, can file a claim in the NVICP. If this is done in 2025, anyone who has been injured fm the vax going back 8 years, will have 2 years to file by some time in 2027.
How about considering both?
My thoughts exactly!!

Thanks again for your meticulous reporting.
