Over 80 lawsuits in UK allege AstraZeneca COVID vaccine severe Injuries

The lies is finally breaking, and justice is finally going to be served to those who committed crimes against humanity as two lawsuits working their way through the U.K. court system could determine the fate of a class-action suit filed against AstraZeneca by more than 80 people who allege they or a family member were injured by the drugmaker’s COVID-19 vaccine.

The two lawsuits are being heard as test cases for the larger class-action lawsuit.

One of the test cases was filed in the U.K.’s High Court by Jamie Scott, a father of two who sustained a permanent brain injury as a result of blood clots caused by the vaccine in April 2021.

The second test case was filed by the widower of 35-year-old Alpa Tailor, who died after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine.

These “are the first lawsuits brought in England and Wales over an adverse reaction to a COVID-19 vaccine, according to publicly-available court records,” Reuters reported.

According to The Telegraph, “The test cases could pave the way for as many as 80 damages claims worth an estimated £80 million [$98.3 million] over a new condition known as vaccine-induced Immune Thrombocytopenia and Thrombosis (VITT) that was identified by specialists in the wake of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine rollout.”

Alex Mitchell welcomed the news that the lawsuits are proceeding. He received his first and only dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on March 20, 2021. He collapsed at home just weeks later, on April 4. Today, he is an amputee and suffers from VITT.

“As one of the participants in one of the U.K. class actions, I can say that it’s been nearly three years of waiting for a day like this to finally begin,” he told The Defender.

“I was initially given no hope of survival when I collapsed on the 4th of April 2021 and spending seven and a half hours in a surgery I wasn’t expected to survive,” Mitchell told The Defender. “I then spent a week in isolation before I was amputated from above the knee on the 11th of April 2021. I have brain damage and sight issues among other symptoms from VITT.”

The 80 claimants banded together to form the VITT Litigation Group and have launched a crowdfunding campaign, stating that “AstraZeneca cannot continue to ignore the circumstances in which their vaccine has caused devastating injury and loss. Our legal case will seek to hold AstraZeneca to account.”

“The claimants are pursuing a two-pronged strategy: taking legal action against the Consumer Protection Act 1987 as well as claiming payment under the government-run Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme,” which is limited to payouts of £120,000 ($147,000) per claim, The Telegraph reported.

The Telegraph cited figures from the U.K.’s Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency showing at least 81 U.K. deaths “are suspected to have been linked to the adverse reaction that caused clotting in people who also had low blood platelets.” Almost 1 in 5 people who suffered from the condition died as a result, according to the same data.

As of March 6, the U.K.’s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme received 4,017 COVID-19 vaccine injury claims, of which 622 were related to the AstraZeneca vaccine, according to data cited by The BMJ.

Also in March 2021, the U.S. Data and Safety Monitoring Board suggested that AstraZeneca may have provided “outdated information” to U.S. authorities, which provided “an incomplete view” of the results of its clinical trials.
