React19 said it has provided more than $1 million to people injured by the COVID-19 vaccine, after completing its latest round of grants.
React19 Co-Chairman Joel Wallskog — an orthopedic surgeon who was injured by Moderna’s shot — said in a press release, “Reaching this milestone is both a testament to the generosity of our donors and a sobering reminder of the systemic failure to adequately support COVID-19 vaccine-injured patients.”
“We will not rest until every injured individual receives the recognition, care, and compensation they deserve,” Wallskog added.
React19 was formed after the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines as a community of those injured by the shots. “We found each other through our common struggle,” its website states, “and our community has continued to grow, far beyond any expectations.”
Now the nonprofit has a “React19 CareFund” that provides financial help for medical treatments and therapies for people injured by COVID-19 vaccines, according to the press release.
On Jan. 16, the group’s board approved the latest round of grant recipients, bringing the total amount distributed to over $1 million since the fund’s creation.
