At the same time, a closely related debate has been raging about separating cause from coincidence under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act compensation program for injuries that might have been the result of vaccinations. The Vaccine Act created a no-fault compensation fund financed by a tax on childhood vaccines to address harms resulting from those vaccines. Unfortunately, Congress gave little direction with regard to the level of causal certainty that would be required …

Election Law, Christopher R. Nolen, Jeff Palmore 2012 McGuireWoods L.L.P., Richmond, Virginia

Election Law, Christopher R. Nolen, Jeff Palmore

University of Richmond Law Review
