Families and Patients Sue AstraZeneca Over COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries in the U.K.

A group of families and patients in the UK are suing AstraZeneca, the pharmaceutical company that produced the COVID-19 vaccine, claiming that their loved ones suffered severe reactions or died after taking the vaccine, according to a report from The Epoch Times.

The group’s legal team is seeking personal injury compensation from AstraZeneca, claiming that the vaccine was “not as safe as the public were entitled to expect.”

Peter Todd, a consultant solicitor with Scott-Moncrieff & Associates, is representing the group and has initiated a claim against AstraZeneca under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

“I have started a claim against AstraZeneca seeking damages for injury (namely thrombosis with thrombocytopenia) and consequential loss caused by their COVID vaccine,” Todd said.

“The claim is under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, which holds manufacturers liable for injury caused by a defective product,” he added.

“A product is defective under this legislation if it is not as safe as consumers were reasonably entitled to expect. Our contention is that the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine was not as safe as consumers were reasonably entitled to expect in that it caused serious injury or death when we were assured it had been established to be safe through extensive clinical trials.”

Todd also mentioned that the UK government had “agreed in the procurement contract of the vaccine to indemnify AstraZeneca against any liability of this kind, so we ask the government to do the right thing and to support people who were vaccinated and help them cope with the devastating consequence of their life changing injuries.”

“Strict time limits apply to such claims so anyone who thinks they may have been affected in a similar way should get in touch,” he added.
