Washington reports that anyone contracting the rare paralytic disease Guillain Barré after 1976 swine flu shots will not need to prove negligence to collect federal compensation. The move affects about one third of 1,483 claims totaling 775 million dollars, with 439 cases linked to Guillain Barré and 23 deaths among roughly 45 million vaccinated Americans. Health officials caution the final payouts may be only a fraction of the claimed amounts.
