UK government considers compensation scheme for Britons disabled by AstraZeneca jabs

UK vaccine compensation news

The UK government is considering a new compensation plan for thousands of Britons who have been disabled by AstraZeneca’s Covid vaccine, following concerns that the current Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) is outdated and overwhelmed by claims.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting, alongside Shadow Attorney General Sir Jeremy Wright, recently met with campaigners from Vaccine Bereaved and Injured UK (Vibuk) to explore options, including either reforming the VDPS or creating a bespoke scheme similar to the one provided for victims of the infected blood scandal.

Official data shows that more than 15,000 claims have been made to the VDPS for vaccine-related injuries, with only 188 approved, mostly involving AstraZeneca’s mRNA gene therapy, marketed to the public as a ‘vaccine’.

Legal action is underway against AstraZeneca, as the company has acknowledged that its vaccine can “in very rare cases” cause serious side effects.

Campaigners argue that the current compensation system fails to adequately support those left unable to work due to severe side effects, which include heart attacks, strokes, and paralysis.

Streeting has committed to examining the issues raised, with further discussions scheduled.

Charlet Crichton, founder of UKCVFamily, a support charity for those affected, has called for a complete overhaul of the compensation scheme to ensure fair treatment for individuals who were vaccinated at the government’s request and have since experienced life-changing health impacts.

  1. A good lesson here for the New Zealand Government.

    Vaccine reactions are not just a headache, sore arm for a few days or muscle aches.

    When your Heart or kidneys malfunction, your nervous system feels under strain, your brain feels constantly fogged and the rashes on your skin won’t disappear, you have numbness in your limbs……….you are in trouble.
    When you can’t get a timely appointment with the relevant Specialist and the GP tells you it’s all beyond their scope of practice and a grey area…..you seriously are in trouble.
    When your once ‘normal’ blood tests suddenly come back ‘abnormal’ you want the answers, you want the treatment, you need the support and crave for your old normality…you feel devastated.
    Day after day you lie awake hoping tomorrow you will be feeling better. But when tomorrow never comes, you leave your job, and the four walls of your home become your sanctuary. A day turns to a month and soon the months become a year and then two, three …..
    If they had told you the risks would you have been more astute to getting help sooner? If they told you the reactions could be delayed would you have been wiser? If they actually told you the ‘vaccine’ may have caused the symptoms, would you have got the booster?

  2. As a Christian, I can only speak the truth.This website is a source of disreputable information. I know too many people who have died & they all have the same thing in common, unvaxxed. I’m on my 9th jab & feel like I’m getting younger. Compare that with the numerous I know who are dead or the many fighting for their lives with turbo cancers. One cannot argue with the truth. https://www.facebook.com/john.henry.14473/

    • So pleased you have a good immune system that wasn’t overloaded!
      I wonder how clued up you are in relation to adaptive and innate components of Immunology. Have you ever taken the time to look at the vaccine fact sheets including the adverse reactions? If this doesn’t provide you with sufficient information, then maybe check out the VAERs database.
      As a Christian (as you state), maybe you could pray for those who weren’t quite so fortunate!
