14,000 people in the UK have claimed compensation for serious covid vaccine injuries; it is just the tip of the iceberg

Nearly 14,000 people in Britain have applied for payments from the government for alleged harm caused by covid vaccines.  This is just the tip of the iceberg as 365,000 serious adverse events, including death, have been reported to the Yellow Card scheme so far.

The UK’s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (“VDPS”) offers a one-off tax-free payment of £120,000 to people who have been severely disabled as a result of vaccination against certain diseases, including covid-19. The scheme is administered by the Department of Health and Social Care.

It was founded in 1979. Since then, around 16,000 applications have been made to the scheme but the vast majority, nearly 14,000, relate to covid injections, according to new figures obtained by The Telegraph through the Freedom of Information Act.

The Telegraph reports that the number of claims has reached such levels that administrative staff processing claims increased from four to 80 last year. More than 700 people have been waiting over a year for a decision.  So far, the government has made payments in just 175 cases, fewer than two per cent of people who have applied.

Payments have already been awarded for conditions including stroke, heart attack, dangerous blood clots, inflammation of the spinal cord, excessive swelling of the vaccinated limb and facial paralysis.

Around 97 per cent of claims awarded relate to the AstraZeneca jab, with just a handful of payments made for damage from Pfizer or Moderna.

The Telegraph briefly described the case of Leona Sanders, wife of the British champion flat race jockey Seb Saunders, who developed symptoms after her second AstraZeneca injection and deteriorated rapidly after the third.  She was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, a swelling on the spinal cord, which is a known adverse effect of the injection. The prognosis for Leona’s recovery is slim.

“Despite warnings and the growing number of clotting cases, the UK government continued to recommend the AstraZeneca jab, even though vaccination had already been halted in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, The Netherlands, Sweden and Latvia by March 2021,” The Telegraph noted.

Last year, AstraZeneca officially admitted that in some cases the vaccine can cause vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (“VITT”) and in May it began the worldwide withdrawal of its injection, claiming that it was no longer the most effective now that newer vaccines had been adapted to target covid-19 variants.

The Telegraph reported that “thousands of people have been turned down by medical assessors who say there is no concrete proof that the vaccine caused harm, while hundreds of others have been refused payment because they are ‘not disabled enough’.”

More than 5,500 claims have been rejected, while a further 519 were dismissed before a medical assessment.

Nearly 350 claims were rejected because, although assessors accepted the vaccine had caused harm, they ruled it had not “caused severe disablement.” Under the rules, applicants must be 60 per cent disabled to qualify.

A government spokesman told The Telegraph: “The 60 per cent disablement threshold is aligned to the definition of ‘severe disablement’ consistent, with the Department for Work and Pensions Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.  In the case that an individual’s application is turned down on the basis of disability threshold, there is the option for claimants to appeal the decision.”

However, despite nearly 1,000 people asking for their cases to be reconsidered, just 12 have been told their decision has been reversed and they will receive a payment.

The government insists that the VDPS payment is not a compensation scheme, and the money can be used to help claimants chase damages in court.

However, many argue that the VDPS payment is not enough to take on big pharmaceutical companies or compensate for the loss of loved ones.

The above was taken from the article titled ‘Thousands seek compensation after covid vaccines ‘left them disabled’ published by The Telegraph on 17 August 2024.

Covid Deaths Compared to Serious Vaccine Injuries and Deaths

On 12 August 2020, the four UK Chief Medical Officers recommended that a single, consistent measure be adopted for daily reporting of deaths across the UK. The UK government and the devolved administrations agreed to publish the number of deaths that occurred within 28 days of a positive lab-confirmed covid test result on a daily basis.

As of 12 August 2020, the number of all deaths in patients testing positive for covid in the UK within 28 days was 41,329.

In March 2023, the UK Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) stated that over the course of the pandemic over 178,407 people across the UK had died within 28 days of a positive test for covid.

In July 2023, the BBC reported that just under 227,000 people had died in the UK with covid listed as one of the causes on their death certificate. This includes those who had not been tested for the virus prior to their death.

At the time of writing, Worldometer states that 232,112 have died with covid. This figure is according to the World Health Organisation’s dashboard as of 4 August 2024, see HERE.

Although deaths labelled as “covid deaths”  include false positives and people who had covid listed as one of the causes, let’s assume that the maximum number of deaths with covid over the past four and half years is 232,112.  How does this compare to vaccine injuries?

The MHRA Yellow Card website has a summary of the adverse reports made for each covid vaccine supplier but does not provide a report for all vaccines together.  Below is a table extracting the totals from the ‘Overview’ for each vaccine which are overviews of the suspected adverse reaction reports reported through the Yellow Card scheme.

As we look at these figures, bear in mind that reporting adverse events to the Yellow Card scheme is voluntary.  Historically, it has been estimated that only 10% of serious adverse reactions and between 2% and 4% of non-serious reactions are reported to the Yellow Card scheme.

Further reading:

Reports to the scheme are known as suspected adverse drug reactions (“ADRs”). A single ADR may contain more than one symptom or suspected reaction.  According to definitions provided on the Yellow Card website, a suspected ADR report is considered “serious” if it is one of the following categories:

  • Patient died due to reaction
  • Life-threatening
  • Resulted in hospitalisation or prolonged inpatient hospitalisation
  • Congenital abnormality
  • Involved persistent or significant disability or incapacity
  • If the reaction was deemed medically significant.  In addition to this, the seriousness of reaction terms has also been defined by the MHRA in its medical dictionary. Therefore, an ADR report can be serious because the reporter considers the reaction to be serious or because the reaction term itself is considered serious in MHRA’s medical dictionary.
Vaccine Total number of reports of suspected ADRs Total number of reports of suspected ADRs which were serious Total number of reports of suspected ADRs with a fatal outcome Total number of suspected adverse reactions
Pfizer/BioNTech monovalent 178,565 126,535 920 516,187
Pfizer/BioNTech bivalent 6,227 4,820 68 16,851
AstraZeneca 249,496 193,388 1,468 885,374
Moderna monovalent 43,306 31,339 102 142,342
Moderna bivalent 5,802 4,262 55 15,927
Brand unspecified or not in routine use in the UK 3,045 2,193 94 9,208
Novavax 193 125 0 527
Total 486,634 362,662 2,707 1,586,416
 Note: The MHRA’s ‘Summary of Yellow Card Reporting’ states: “Many suspected ADRs reported on a Yellow Card do not have any relation to the vaccine or medicine and it is often coincidental that symptoms occurred around the same time as vaccination … It is therefore important that the suspected ADRs described in this report are not interpreted as being proven side effects of covid-19 vaccines.”

Covid deaths were inflated by setting criteria of being a death within 28 days of a positive test, regardless of the cause of death, and covid being listed as one of the causes, not THE cause, of death on a death certificate.  The suspected covid deaths total 232,112 over four and a half years.

The number of people who are suspected to have been hospitalised, experienced life-threatening or incapacitating conditions, or died as a result of the covid “vaccines” is 365,369 (362,662 serious ADRs and 2,707 fatal ADRs) over three years and eight months.

The number of people suspected to have died or had a serious adverse event due to the vaccines is 63% higher than those suspected to have died with, not from, covid.  And the 365,369 serious and fatal ADRs only represent a small portion, possibly between 2% and 10%, of the people who have had such reactions in the population.

The 14,000 who have applied for payments from VDPS so far are just the tip of the iceberg.

The MHRA has a lot to answer for.
