The Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine has been branded “defective” in a multi-million pound landmark legal action that will suggest claims over its efficacy were “vastly overstated”. The Telegraph has the story.
The pharmaceutical giant is being sued in the High Court in a test case by Jamie Scott, a father-of-two who suffered a significant permanent brain injury that has left him unable to work as a result of a blood clot after receiving the jab in April 2021. A second claim is being brought by the widower and two young children of 35-year-old Alpa Tailor, who died after having the jab made by AstraZeneca, the U.K.-based pharmaceutical giant.
The test cases could pave the way for as many as 80 damages claims worth an estimated £80 million over a new condition known as Vaccine-induced Immune Thrombocytopenia and Thrombosis (VITT) that was identified by specialists in the wake of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine rollout. …
The vaccine, which was heralded at its launch by Boris Johnson as a “triumph for British science“, is no longer used in the U.K. The Government recommends three other vaccines for its autumn booster programme.
In the months following the rollout, the serious side-effect of the AstraZeneca jab was identified by scientists. Following this, it was recommend it no longer be given to the under-40s in the U.K. because the risk of receiving the jab outweighed the serious harm posed by Covid.
AstraZeneca last night told the Telegraph that patient safety was its “highest priority”, that its vaccine, called Vaxzevria, had “continuously been shown to have an acceptable safety profile”, and that regulators around the world “consistently state that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks of extremely rare potential side-effects”.
It is understood AstraZeneca, in its legal response, denies causing Mr. Scott’s injuries.
Official figures from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) show at least 81 deaths in the U.K. are suspected to have been linked to the adverse reaction that caused clotting in people who also had low blood platelets. In total, almost one in five people who suffered from the condition died as a result, according to the MHRA’s own figures. …
As many as 80 claimants could lodge legal cases with the High Court by the end of the year in a class action that threatens to undermine faith in the rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine that was developed jointly with Oxford University.
In Mr. Scott’s claim, his lawyers argue that he suffered “personal injuries and consequential losses arising out of his sustaining Vaccine Induced Immune Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia (VITT) as a result of his vaccination on April 23rd 2021, with the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination”, which the legal claim alleges was “defective”. They also argue that no warning of the risk of VITT was included in the product information on the date of supply of the vaccine.
AstraZeneca issued press releases following clinical trials saying the vaccine – known as Vaxzevria – was between 62% and 90% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 depending on dosages, with an average of 70%. The legal claim states: “In fact, the absolute risk reduction concerning COVID-19 prevention was only 1.2%.”
An absolute risk reduction measures how much the vaccine reduces an individual’s baseline risk of getting ill from Covid at a particular time. If Covid levels are low, the absolute risk reduction rate will be much lower too.
This is different from a relative risk reduction, which compares the numbers of vaccinated people getting ill with those getting ill who did not receive the jab.

The big media and big pharmaceutical corporations are all owned (~25%) and controlled by the same ‘passive’ investment funds.
Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street all support DEI through the organisations they partially own. They promote ‘liberal’ social causes like open borders not from a sense of altruism but simply to depress wages in the working classes and thus keep their operating costs low.
And who owns /runs these huge financial institutions I wonder..
Lets start with Blackrock….
The billionaire ceo/chairman Larry Fink….. Jewish….

“Many of his team were Jewish, leading some at the firm to dub Fink’s desk “Little Israel”.
” They promote ‘liberal’ social causes like open borders not from a sense of altruism but simply to depress wages in the working classes and thus keep their operating costs low”.
Oh let me assure you.. They do far far more than that…

“BlackRock and Vanguard, two of the world’s “Big Three” asset managers, also are among the top three shareholders of COVID vaccine makers Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson — which means the two investment giants stand to benefit from these companies’ soaring profits and the resulting rise in those companies’ stock prices.
BlackRock and Vanguard don’t just benefit from sales of COVID vaccines. As it turns out, they also have ownership stakes in technology companies developing vaccine passports and digital wallets.”

Thank you
Please, please don’t put Vanguard in with this lot. Chalk and cheese. Do your research. Start with Jack Bogle.
He was the founder.. He’s long gone, taken over by less far desireables..
There isnt a single financial institution on the planet that has your wellbeing in mind… Not one
The “less desirables” you mention are me and many others. It’s a mutual. Get a grip.
Oh ok.. Are you saying you’re directly involved in the myriad of illegal tradings/insider trading that go one in these institutions?
Perhaps you can explain in further detail…

Corrupt as the day is long, are you really proud to work in such an industry….
I’ve listened to Max Keiser for over a decade, I know what you all get up to…. Its nothing to be proud about
All the big investment banks now appear to be politicised pushing the ESG/DEI agenda. And once one of these banks becomes a major shareholder of a company that company can do no other than swallow the whole toxic ESG/DEI agenda. These titans of finance seem to be walking hand in hand with the deep state.
As for Media censorship and control….

You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you cant criticize Israel Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache
I wonder how much attention the recent press conference in the European Parliament will get. This centres around a letter from the EMA saying that it never authorised the jabs for mass vaccination but only for individual immunisation based on doctor’s advice.
The EMA letter is available here. At the beginning of the letter, it explicitly states:
A brief clip of the presentation is here.
Day by day, I’m slowly running out of ‘conspiracy theories’
Wonder if that odious creature Marianna Spring will debunk herself?
I wonder most about the motives of advertisers who follow recommendations of outfits like NewsGard. Do they naively say, “This lot say they’re monitoring news reliability, so they must be good.” In which case they’re naive despite vast PR budgets.
Or do they say, “This lot share our woke values, so we’ll follow their recommendations.” In which case, they could just as easily read/watch the outlet they’re advertising with and back out of any they dislike/
Or are they just afraid they’ll be next in the firing line unless they follow the people making the most noise. In which case their virtue signalling is transparently just submitting to the protection racket.
My money’s on the last.
Igor’s Newsletter has more on how NewsGuard is tied up with Bill Gates as a means of controlling both discourse and elections.
“We have a commercial, public company (Microsoft) that is in the business of selling software and business cloud services.
For some reason, that firm is showing strange interest in inserting itself into the most intimate parts of the democratic process. It seeks to subvert decision-making procedures that our democracies rely on, such as the selection of news outlets to be trusted, vetting of news stories, and sponsorships of journalists.
Microsoft wants to both manage election security as well as be involved in vote counting. This creates unique risks and concerns that we need to understand better”.

I think this breakdown of Piers Morgans interview with Andrew Tate (although some may think it’s somewhat crass) covers some extremely interesting points re Isreal /Palestine.
When pressured to answer the question as Morgan did with Corbyn as to the “terrorism” of the 7th, Tate attempts to apply some context…
Brand points out, quite correctly that the concept of the annihilation of a sub group of people’s can not and is not how the world can move forward long term.
I think theres people who regulary post on DS on this particular subject that, if willing to listen to Russell can learn a lot..
Yes.. I’m pointing my finger at you Mogs…
Tate comes across far more intelligent than Morgan.. But I knew that anyway…
https://youtu.be/JPaMo6h3kPI?si=DkFI2FQ6l3DaXUOC
“why are you starting this story in the middle Piers?”..
Exactly…
I couldn’t disagree more (although I only got as far as 16 minutes in). Speaking as a “non professional” (did you not cringe when Tate keep up-ticking him self with that word?) I have been allied to the plight of the Palestinians all my adult life and I have long questioned the legitimacy of the state of Israel. However, the barbarity and pure evil of the deeds of Oct 7th have forced me to look at things very differently, asymmetrically, even. My concern now is not with trying to defend or attack Israel’s retaliation and its devastating impact on the lives on Palestinians, but with the disturbing and repulsive insistence of Palestinian sympathisers to deny or explain away the horrors of what happened on Oct 7th. And Tate, with his monotonous booming battering-ram diatribe is doing just that. Worse he is making a well worn categorical mistake in conflating the “what” something is with the “why” something is what it is (assuming anyone can truly know why someone commits murder, paints a picture, votes Lib-Dem etc). If Tate has a theory as to why someone is driven to commit the vile acts of Oct 7 (and it’s just a theory) that can never offset the evil that they did: to consider it so is to abandon any sense of moral responsibility for anyone doing anything. The refusal to call Hamas terrorists says more about the refuser than anything about the complexities of the Israeli/Palestine conflict and history.
OK so you agree with the msm /Morgans take..
I get ya…you’re doing exactly what the moronic Morgan is doing..
Starting the story on the 7th…
You obviously haven’t been allied to the plight of the Palestinians if you think like you do which is understandable because the terrors conducted by the IDF are ensured by the msm that they are not for veiwing
Typically, you can only bring yourself to talk about the atrocities of the 7th, but never about the conditions, the killings, the apartheid, the repression of the Zionist regime
6000 Palestinian deaths to 300 in years leading up to the 7th…
One word… Deluded
And the evidence of your delusion is here..
And I can only assume that you beleive the msm narrative that the IDF were relaxing by the pool with their pants down thinking all was quiet on the Gaza border on the 7th… Really?
This was orchestrated by Israel, the average Israeli knows they got sold out by their globalist war mongering leader
That doesn’t follow. I am limiting my point to simply finding the “explaining away” of morally vile actions because of one or many “causes” morally bankrupt. There is nothing delusional about it, regardless of the evidence you cite in your follow up post, that I see as I write this. The disproportionality of harms suffered by the Palestinian over the period you cite has no bearing on the moral bankruptcy of apologists for what happened to those that were murdered on Oct 7th. My sights are on the motives of those apologists who reduce that evil to some kind of utilitarian equation that allows them to rationalise a psychological and perhaps moral justification for what happened. So my beef if is with those people, not the Palestinians, who I have long supported in securing an independent internationally recognised state.
“The disproportionality of harms suffered by the Palestinian over the period you cite has no bearing on the moral bankruptcy of apologists for what happened to those that were murdered on Oct 7th.”
Absolute utter nonsense….its wholly and absolutely relative. its a shame you didn’t listen more to Brand, it really is.
Do you not think 29 breeches of the Gaza fence, 6 hrs of IDF no show, 1 years planning that Mossad knew nothing about, numours warnings by Egypt is suspect?? Blimey
Your finger is pointing in the wrong direction, apportion the blame for the 7th on the Israeli leader
That’s too lazy a reposte. There’s no more to say, except to perhaps quote a very young David Bowie who gets close to what I’m saying in Cygnet Committee
“And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
For they knew not the words of the Free States’ refrain
It said:
“I believe in the Power of Good
I Believe in the State of Love
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right”
And I open my eyes to look around
And I see a child laid slain
On the ground
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
But not hearing anymore
Not hearing anymore
Just the shrieks from the old rich”
I think that can easily be applied to either side…
But we can’t be “antisemitic” can we now…
Talking about atrocities…

I did more “cringeing” over Morgan that I did Tate that is for sure, the way Morgan attempts to simplify such complexity is beyond stupid
This is news?
Us lot here defo didn’t need the Washington Post to tell us anything!
Stay strong, y’all.
When a man runs out of food he doent care about news organisations. Honestly for those who think that the ‘system’ is still in charge it is already changing hands. You can call them underclass or chavs but the common people are taking charge of things beyond our grasp. They made a lot of mistakes and they aren’t ashamed to admit them.
