The AstraZeneca Covid vaccine is being withdrawn worldwide, months after the pharmaceutical company admitted for the first time in court that it can cause deadly side effects.
The Government has been caught shamefully playing hardball with the victims of Covid vaccine injuries, refusing to settle payouts despite devastating harms, as legal bills mount.
AstraZeneca has admitted in court for the first time that its Covid jab can cause a deadly blood clotting side effect, paving the way for payouts (footed by the taxpayer) of up to £20m.
A leaked recording reveals that the U.S. military told a pharma exec at AstraZeneca that the virus "posed a national security threat" on February 4th 2020 – weeks before a single death had occurred.
An historic legal battle is unfolding as 35 individuals claim complications from the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine, alleging it caused a rare side effect leading to blood clots.
As side-effects of the Covid vaccines piled up, the MHRA expanded its advice lists for patients but took no action. Why is there no safety threshold for medicine, unlike in all other safety sectors, asks Nick Hunt.
Relatives of people whose deaths were caused by the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine have had to fight for the jab to appear on their death certificates, an investigation by the Telegraph has found.
The scandal of the Covid vaccines – that they were far too high-risk medicines to give to people at low risk of the disease they were intended to prevent – is finally going mainstream, says Allison Pearson.
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 widower of BBC presenter Lisa Shaw, who was killed by the Covid vaccine, is pursuing legal action against AstraZeneca, arguing the vaccine is an unsafe "defective product".
