Vaccine injuries and medics speaking out.

I was also struck by the news on Belarus at the time, and saying to myself "this is it", "the use of debt to control everyone" ... but what can one do with that awareness? Even now Sunak stands there and says how proud he is of furlough. These people are sick and they don't want to leave people with any of the money they earn. They just squander as much money as possible.

Over the past 3 months, my and my family’s life has changed dramatically. I have been debilitated by neurological and immune symptoms causing 13 ER visits, 4 hospitalizations and 6 911 calls. I have been unable to work, unable to live my “normal” life and have been bed bound, and walking with a walker/wheelchair and in extreme pain. At the moment I am receiving OT and PT at home. When I am medicated I am able to ambulate better.

We present an autopsy case of a 19-year-old man with a history of epilepsy whose unwitnessed sudden death occurred unexpectedly in the night. About 4 years before death, he was diagnosed with unilateral optic neuritis (ON). Demyelinating disease was suspected, but he was lost to follow up after the recovery. Six months before death, he received a second dose of mRNA coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. Three months before death, he experienced epileptic seizures for the first time. Seventeen days before death, he was infected with COVID-19, which showed self-limited course under home isolation. Several days before death, he complained of seizures again at night. Autopsy revealed multifocal gray-tan discoloration in the cerebrum.

Vaccine injury scheme ramps up staff as claims over Covid jabs keep growing

Admin workers scaled up from four to 80 as claimants say the process takes too long and does not pay out enough

Increasing demand for Covid vaccine injury payments has seen the number of staff processing claims increase 20-fold, figures show.

The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) has scaled up operations and boosted its administrative staff from four to 80 to handle the claims.

A project is also under way to digitalise the application process to make it simpler and quicker for claimants.  

But MPs, campaigners and families have called for the process to be reformed, arguing that the payment cap of £120,000 is too low, too slow and bureaucratic, and the eligibility criteria is too strict.

If a person is left severely disabled as a result of receiving certain vaccines they could be entitled to the one-off payment from the Government.

Families can also apply for the payment if a loved one died as a result of a vaccination.

It is not treated as compensation, meaning claimants can still seek damages in court.

“Inadequate funds to families’

A group of patients and families are now taking legal action against AstraZeneca after they suffered injury or bereavement as a result of complications from the Covid vaccine.

The Hausfeld Claimant group, which includes 13 bereaved families and 28 survivors, says the VDPS offers “inadequate funds to families”.

Sarah Moore, leading the litigation, said: “No amount of compensation will bring back loved ones or restore those injured to health but it can make life a little bit easier for the mothers, fathers, children, parents and partners who are now reshaping their lives.”

Figures released under a Freedom of Information (FOI) request in March show more than 4,000 claims related to a Covid-19 vaccine have been submitted since Nov 1 2021.

The payment scheme was taken over by the NHS Business Services Authority in November 2021, after previously being handled by the Department for Work and Pensions.

Of the 4,017 claims made, 334 relate to a claimant who has died.

Some 48 claims have been approved so far, Maria Caulfield, a health minister, told MPs in February.

A separate FOI document published in February revealed 3,842 claims had been received, meaning the number submitted has increased by almost 200 in one month alone. Of those, 814 claims were unsuccessful and a further 37 did not meet the eligibility criteria.

Under the VDPS, severe disablement means a patient must be at least 60 per cent disabled to qualify, based on the Social Security (General Benefit) Regulations 1982.

‘Balance of probabilities’

A patient’s medical records along with “all scientific evidence” will be considered in the application by an independent medical assessor.

They will decide if the person is due a payment based on whether “on the balance of probabilities” the vaccine caused the disability, and if the level of disability is 60 per cent.

Many claimants have been diagnosed with vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis, a rare condition linked to the Covid-19 jab.

The number of people who experienced life-changing adverse reactions to coronavirus vaccines is tiny compared to the millions who received the jab.

Data from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, up to Nov 23 2022, show 445 cases of major thromboembolic events (blood clots) with concurrent thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) in the UK following an AstraZeneca jab. The overall case fatality rate was 18 per cent with 81 deaths.

The Government says it can take “at least six months” to process a VDPS claim, but a claim about a Covid-19 vaccine “will take longer”.

Jeremy Wright, Conservative MP for Kenilworth and Southam, raised the issue in the Commons this week and called on the Prime Minister to revamp the scheme.

He told The Telegraph: “It's good news if they're improving the resources to handle claims. There are a lot of claims and it's taking a very long time to process them.”

He added there were still “structural problems” with the scheme, including the low cap and 60 per cent disablement cut off.

Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday: “We are taking steps to reform vaccine damage payments schemes by modernising the operations and providing more timely outcomes, but of course I'd be happy to talk to the honourable gentleman further about it.”

The Telegraph has spoken to families who have waited more than a year for the payment.

Sheila Ward, whose husband Stephen, 57, died after having the Covid vaccine, said the compensation scheme was “not fit for purpose”.

Her husband, who was retired, had the Oxford AZ jab in March 2021.  Mr Ward had no pre-existing conditions but after a few days developed a headache and had to stay in bed.

“We just thought he had been doing  too much,” said Mrs Ward, 55, who lives in Newcastle.

When she went upstairs to check on him she found him unable to speak. He was taken to hospital where he was treated for a stroke. The doctors found bleeds and clots on his brain.  

Compensation took a year

Later Mrs Ward was told by doctors that her husband had suffered seizures. He died before he could receive an operation.

A coroner’s certificate listed the vaccine as one of the causes of death but obtaining compensation took a year.

“The whole process was very slow and they never gave me updates unless I chased them,” said Mrs Ward, whose claim was finalised in June 2022.

“Personally, I don't think the compensation families receive is enough. I'm in a fortunate position that my husband had a pension, so my income has been subsidised that way.

“For anyone who has been left with a lifelong disability or young children, it simply wouldn’t be enough to replace somebody's income.”

Mrs Ward said the Government should consider raising the cap but also make the process faster. “It is not fit for purpose,” she said.  “I’ve heard of cases where it takes 20 months for a decision. That is far too long”.  

Vikki Spit, 40, lost her partner Zion of 21 years in May 2021 after he suffered a blood clot linked to the AZ vaccine.

It took more than a year for Ms Spit, who campaigns for Vaccine Injured Bereaved UK, to receive the VDPS.

“The [60 per cent disabled] criteria is a really big [issue], because there are so many people just left with nothing after being severely injured, and have life-changing disabilities, and they’re just told ‘well you’re not interested enough’,” she said.

13th April article in the Mail on Lisa Shaw and her husband.

 

'I have been vaccinated three times - two times after Lisa died,' he revealed, adding that he was vaccinated mainly 'in order to do the things I wanted to do'.

 

'Lisa was bang on side with being vaccinated, she was happy to be vaccinated because it meant that our day to day normal things could start coming back. 

 

'We did what we believed was the right thing to do.'

 

Gareth said he had an AstraZeneca vaccine the day before Lisa got taken into hospital, but after that he requested to be given the Pfizer jab.

 

Their son Zach, eight, was just six when his mother died.

 

Gareth said he has become eligible for a Covid vaccine, but would prefer him not to have one.

 

'Zach asked me why, he said 'has it got something to do with mammy'? ...

 

... Gareth Eve says he has 'no alternative' but to pursue legal action against AstraZeneca ...
