AstraZeneca is being sued by a man whose wife died of thrombocytopenia a week after her AZ vaccine.
"His lawyers sent AstraZeneca pre-action protocol letters in November, on behalf of nearly 75 claimants, several of whom have had relatives die or survive with injuries related to the vaccine.
The claimants are pursuing legal action under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, and demanding payment under a government Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme.
Solicitor Peter Todd from Scott-Moncrieff and Associates, which is acting for the claimants, said
damages were being pursued on the basis that the vaccine was a “defective product in that it was not as safe as consumers generally were reasonably entitled to expect”.

Thank you for posting. It reminds me of the terrible time I had trying to get help after my own adverse reaction to the AZ vaccine. I am not surprised people died given what happened to me. There were so many different problems.
1. My GP surgery was almost totally dedicated to giving the vaccine. We lost our GP and the surgery for that first point of medical care.
2. It was very hard to talk to the surgery on the phone. The telephone queue was over an hour and often just gave up.
3. The online system stopped taking appointments. It went to a different system where we typed in our symptoms and then waited for a reply but no one ever called me back.
4. There was 1 locum GP on call at a satellite surgery. The rest were working from home.
5. The surgery changed to a triage system if one could get through on the phone. This was a call back from a nurse and it was after 48 hours if lucky. The nurse knowledge was very poor.
6. The local clinical commissioning group would not respond to phone calls, emails etc
5. The local PALs did not answer the phone or emails.
6. It took a complaint to my MP and to the 111 service to get a GP to call me
7. There was no system in place for adverse reactions to the vaccine to be investigated locally or for patients to be sent to
8. NHS staff were more concerned about potentially catching Covid from me than investigating what was happening
9. No one wanted to touch me so a proper examination was never done
10. A&E were burned out and overwhelmed
11. There were no consultants oncall at my local hospital for adverse reactions
12. Once the problems were known about there was no method I could see to educate A&E staff. My local hospital staff first heard about it when I told them
13. I was accused of being an anti-vaxxer reading things on the Internet by A&E. They refused to investigate my symptoms on my first attempt
14. There was no communication to scanning staff on what CT scan needed to be done to detect this. The scan they gave me turned out to be the wrong one.
15. A&E staff didn't know what blood tests to run or how to read them.
All of this occurred before and then after the problem was known about.
