AstraZeneca has admitted that its COVID-19 vaccine could cause a rare but deadly blood-clotting condition, potentially exposing the UK pharmaceutical giant to tens of millions in lawsuits brought by loved ones of those injured or killed as a result of the jab, according to court documents.
AstraZeneca has acknowledged its COVID-19 vaccine could cause a rare but deadly blood-clotting condition after being hit with a lawsuit from dozens of claimants, including a father of two left with a permanent brain injury after he received the jab.
TTS can cause patients to suffer blood clots as well as a low blood platelet count, which in some cases have seriously harmed or even killed recipients of the company’s vaccine. Due to a bargain AstraZeneca struck with the UK government at the height of the pandemic to indemnify the drugmaker against potential lawsuits, taxpayers will be on the hook for any payouts resulting from the claims.
“We need an apology, fair compensation for our family and other families who have been affected. We have the truth on our side, and we are not going to give up.” “Patient safety is our highest priority, and regulatory authorities have clear and stringent standards to ensure the safe use of all medicines, including vaccines,” the statement reads in part.
