From the (boneheaded) editor: My apologies. I pooched this one in a way that is exceptional, even for me. I humbly beg your forgiveness. The line for torches is on the left, and pitchforks is on the right. Please, move on to the next story and don't waste any further time on this one.

You have an odd definition of "significant."
How many petitions have been awarded compensation?
According to the CDC, from 2006 to 2014 over 2.5 billion doses of covered vaccines were distributed in
the U.S. For petitions filed in this time period, 3,389 petitions were adjudicated by the Court, and of
those 2,146 were compensated. This means for every 1 million doses of vaccine that were distributed, 1
individual was compensated.

...but the compensation, when awarded, averaged (medianed?) around $600k. There is a $0.75 fee for each vaccine to pay for the fund, which pays out about $0.54 on average, so it's solvent, at least.

$600K compensation on average... that's significant to the people who receive it, and not everyone who is eligible is interested in fighting the fight to receive compensation.
Also, 1/million vaccines, is more like 1/100,000 people.
