After suffering a blood clot that left him with brain damage, the man has been unable to continue working.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-12059245\/Inside-1billion-AstraZeneca-compensation-battle.html\">separate case<\/a>, around 90 families are similarly reported to be pursuing legal action against AstraZeneca. Many say the firm\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine caused them to develop deadly blood clots. Others developed Guillan-Barre syndrome, which can result in paralysis. Some have even had limbs amputated. This lawsuit currently involves over two dozen fatalities, some of whom were aged as young as 18-years-old.<\/p>\n<p>The compensation bill for British victims killed or maimed by the AstraZeneca vaccine could theoretically exceed \u00a31 billion ($1.24 billion). But as the UK government\u2019s contract with the firm included an indemnity clause, the final bill will ultimately end up being footed by taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>To read about the first German lawsuit brought against vaccine maker BioNTech over side effects caused by its COVID-19 injection, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2023\/06\/first-german-lawsuit-brought-against-biontech-over-covid-19-vaccine-side-effects\/\">this article<\/a> on our website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AstraZeneca is facing legal action in the UK over its COVID-19 vaccine, by a man who suffered severe brain injury after having the jab in April 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72801,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[121],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
