What if every vaccine injury claim ever filed in the United States could be searched in seconds, not through scattered court records and government reports, but through a single, searchable database?
In this episode, Leah V. Durant sits down with Stefan Snell, creator of the VICP Registry, a pioneering resource that compiles every claim filed through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) into one accessible platform. Users can explore claims by vaccine, injury, outcome, age, and other key variables, bringing unprecedented transparency to a program that has historically been difficult to navigate.
Stefan is neither an attorney nor a medical professional. He is an IT specialist whose daughter’s complex health challenges prompted a deep dive into vaccine injury research. Along the way, he uncovered information that led him to question whether he, too, may have experienced a vaccine-related injury. What began as a personal quest for answers evolved into an ambitious data project that is transforming how claimants, attorneys, researchers, and the public understand the Vaccine Program.
Join us for a fascinating conversation about data, transparency, and how one individual’s determination led to the creation of a resource unlike anything the Vaccine Program has seen before.
