AstraZeneca has admitted that its COVID-19 vaccine could cause a rare but deadly
blood-clotting condition, potentially exposing the UK pharmaceutical giant to
tens of millions in lawsuits brought by loved ones of those injured or killed as
a result of the jab, according to court documents.
Lawyers representing “dozens” of class-action claimants say some of their
clients’ cases could be worth as much as $25 million, calling the
Cambridge-headquartered pharma firm’s vaccine “a defective product,” according
to the Daily Mail.
AstraZeneca, which is contesting the claims, acknowledged in a February legal
document that its vaccine can “in very rare cases” cause a condition called
thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or TTS.
3
One of the claimants is Jamie Scott (right), an IT engineer and father of two
left with a permanent brain injury resulting from a blood clot after he received
the vaccine in April 2021.
TTS can cause patients to suffer blood clots as well as a low blood platelet
count, which in some cases have seriously harmed or even killed recipients of
the company’s vaccine.
The potential complication was listed as a possible side effect from the time of
the vaccine’s release, but AstraZeneca’s acknowledgment in February marks the
first time the pharmaceutical titan has admitted it in court, according to the
Telegraph.

So far, 51 cases have been filed in London’s High Court, estimated to be worth
around $125 million total, the outlet writes.
Due to a bargain AstraZeneca struck with the UK government at the height of the
pandemic to indemnify the drugmaker against potential lawsuits, taxpayers will
be on the hook for any payouts resulting from the claims.
One of the claimants who filed suit is Jamie Scott, an IT engineer and father of
two left with a permanent brain injury resulting from a blood clot after he
received the vaccine in April 2021.

the UK, where 81 people have died from blood clots potentially linked to the
jab, according to health data. LightRocket via Getty Images
His wife, Kate, told the outlet she’s hopeful the company’s admission will
accelerate the outcome of their case.
“We need an apology, fair compensation for our family and other families who
have been affected. We have the truth on our side, and we are not going to give
up.”
In a statement, AstraZeneca expressed sympathy for anyone who was allegedly
harmed by the vaccine, but defended it as a net positive and pointed out that
complications are exceedingly rare.
“Patient safety is our highest priority, and regulatory authorities have clear
and stringent standards to ensure the safe use of all medicines, including
vaccines,” the statement reads in part.

“From the body of evidence in clinical trials and real-world data, the
AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine has continuously been shown to have an acceptable
safety profile and regulators around the world consistently state that the
benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks of extremely rare potential side
effects.”
The AstraZeneca COVID vaccine was first approved for emergency use in December,
2020. Of the 50 million doses administered in the UK during the crisis, 81
people have died from blood clots potentially linked to the jab, according to
health data compiled by UK pharmaceutical watchdog the Medicines and Healthcare
products Regulatory Agency.

What do you think? Post a comment.
The odds of a recipient developing TTS as a result of the vaccine are calculated
as somewhere in the range of 1 in 50,000, the outlet writes.
In all, the AstraZeneca vaccine is credited with saving as many as 6 million
lives globally during the pandemic, according to the University of Oxford, which
partnered with the company in developing the jab.
