AstraZeneca admits its Covid vaccine can cause rare side effect in court documents for first time

The Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine has been rightly hailed as a miracle and for many millions it worked just as intended. But for a rare few the vaccine has proved to be a killer. The government medicines regulator has linked 81 deaths in the UK to thrombocytopenia and thrombosis TTS for short. It basically causes both clots and bleeding. This week The Telegraph obtained documents which revealed AstraZeneca had admitted for the first time in legal proceedings that its jab can, in very rare cases, trigger. ETS, Its admission of the side effect in court documents could yet lead to payouts for those affected and the government has pledged to underwrite the bills. Among those fighting for fair compensation is 47 year old Jamie Scott, a father of two. Jamie suffered a permanent brain injury 10 days after having the job in April 2021. We should point out AstraZeneca is denying the legal claim being brought under the Consumer Protection Act. Head to the Telegraph to read the full investigation.
