AstraZeneca, a gigantic pharmaceutical company, has finally acknowledged that the Covid vaccine “may, in very rare cases, cause TTS.” This acknowledgment was made public in a court document filed in February and submitted to the High Court.
Expert testimony would be required to determine causation in each particular case, as the business indicated in the filing, stating that TTS can develop even in the absence of immunisation.
In a class action case, AstraZeneca is accused of causing numerous deaths and severe disabilities as a result of the Covid vaccine, which was created in partnership with the University of Oxford.
Certain homes reported a “devastating effect” from the immunisation, according to attorneys.
The British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporation was the target of an original case filed by father-of-two Jamie Scott last year. After receiving the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine in April 2021, Scott claimed in his case to have experienced a “blood clot and a bleed on his brain,” which resulted to serious brain impairment. Scott’s wife was reportedly told by the hospital that he would not make it. These assertions are being contested in court by AstraZeneca.
“We do not accept that TTS is caused by the vaccine at a generic level,” AstraZeneca said in May 2023 in response to Scott’s attorneys.
Low platelet counts and blood clots are the hallmarks of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), often referred to as vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). This highly rare illness is not well understood. While thrombocytopenia is defined as a low platelet count, which often aids in clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, a blood clot in a blood vessel might result in restricted blood flow.
Once the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine was introduced, researchers saw a correlation between VITT and the vaccine, which led them to conclude that there was a link between TTS and the vaccine. AstraZeneca does not seem to see the distinction between VITT and TTS, according to the claimants’ counsel.
Scott’s wife Kate told the Telegraph, “The medical community has long recognised that the immunisation caused VITT. Only AstraZeneca has questioned whether Jamie’s illness was brought on by the injection. After three years of litigation, she sees AstraZeneca’s acknowledgment as a step forward and calls on the government and corporation to move quickly.
She continues, saying, “We have the truth on our side, and we are not going to give up,” demanding an apology from AstraZeneca as well as just recompense for her family and any other impacted parties.
The High Court has received 51 cases from victims and their grieving relatives demanding damages in excess of £100 million.
AstraZeneca also sent their condolences to anyone who have experienced health problems or have lost loved ones. The company underlined the strict regulations set by regulatory bodies to guarantee the safe use of medications, including vaccinations, and stressed that patient safety is their first concern.
