I used to work for a forensic economist in the late 1990s. $10,000 doesn't even come close to compensating a family for the death of a member--think about it this way; that person would have earned, on average, almost 5 times that in a single year.
The average award in court for a wrongful death of a laborer in the prime of life (30s or 40s) was close to a million dollars. It would be significantly more now.
Even in Canada, which may not use quite the same system of compensation as the US, $75 million is nothing. I'm pretty sure they're expecting very, very few people to successfully prove a death or injury was vaccine related.
$75mn is peanuts
