The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program includes something called a vaccine injury table. Each vaccine covered by the program lists the injuries considered associated with it and the timeframe in which those injuries must arise. When an injury meets those criteria, the burden shifts to the government to show the vaccine didn't cause it, rather than requiring the injured person to prove that it did.

The structure was deliberately made this way. It puts the responsibility on the CDC, FDA, and HHS to do the science on these products. If they haven't shown a vaccine doesn't cause a particular harm, but have found it's associated, it belongs on the table.

Aaron Siri has been fielding what he describes as an endless stream of questions from legacy media challenging this point. His answer is simple: the federal statute says explicitly that injuries to be added to the table are those that are associated with the vaccine. That is the exact word in the law. If someone objects to that standard, the remedy is to go to Congress and change it.
