‘The £1billion battle for Covid jab justice: How 90 British families left bereaved or disabled after getting AstraZeneca's vaccine are fighting for compensation to avoid financial ruin... and they insist they are NOT anti-vax

Britain's compensation bill for victims killed or maimed by AstraZeneca's Covid jab could theoretically exceed £1billion, MailOnline can reveal.

Around 90 families are currently pursuing legal action against the pharmaceutical titan, claiming the jab was essentially a defective product.

Lawyers representing the claimants believe that some of the cases could be worth up to £20m in compensation, which is roughly 160 times more than the £120,000 Government support available. They hope to be able to prove that the vaccine was to blame in court.

Yet, it will be the taxpayer who could foot the bill under the special deal ministers agreed to during the darkest days of the pandemic, amid a worldwide scramble to find a jab and release the country from a never-ending cycle of lockdowns.

The claimants, who insist they are not anti-vaxxers and believe in the merits of jabs as a whole, feel abandoned by the Government and are taking action because they face financial ruin from losing loved ones or ongoing disability.’

Safe and effective to the tune of 1 billion, and that’s just AstraZeneca.
