“Unexpected” Massive Surge in Vaccine Harm Claims

There have been more than three times the number of claims under the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme for Covid jabs than during the previous four decades for all other vaccines combined – but only 1% have been successful. BBC News has the story.

Nearly £50 million of taxpayers’ money has been paid by the NHS to an outsourced firm assessing claims of medical harm caused by vaccines, the BBC has found.

The figure is eight times the amount originally estimated for the assessment work carried out by Crawford & Company Adjusters – and almost £20 million more than the total so far awarded to those injured or bereaved as a result of Covid vaccines.

The firm’s five-year contract, initially estimated to be worth £6 million, has more than a year left to run – however a new company will start taking over the work in the coming months.

The cost of the work by Crawford, and “level of contract spend”, is because the volume of claims “has exceeded the anticipated levels”, an NHS spokesperson told the BBC.

More than 22,000 claims related to Covid vaccines have been made so far, most of them relating to the jab manufactured by AstraZeneca – but only about 1% have resulted in compensation payouts.

They are handled by the UK-wide Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS), for which Crawford has carried out medical assessments since March 2022. …

There have been more than three times the number of claims under the VDPS for Covid jabs than during the previous four decades for all the eligible vaccines combined.

Despite the increase, the number of successful claims has been small. As of mid-November last year, 249 people had received payouts for harm caused by Covid vaccinations.

The payments totalled £29.8 million, funded by the UK Government and paid separately from the Crawford contract.

Monthly NHS payments to Crawford escalated soon after it began the assessment work for the VDPS, BBC analysis shows.

The NHS appears to have begun scrutinising the agreement with the provider as costs spiralled because of the number of claims.

What a surprise. If there is a real increase in claims that lead to high damage awards, it might encourage them to avoid promoting novel products with no proper assessment again. Remember that the manufacturers only went ahead based on being granted financial immunity.

A surge was “Unexpected” by whom exactly?

Its time these financial immunities were lifted, and applied retrospectively to at least Q3 2019.

My understanding is that these protections are Null and Void if there is evidence of fraud on behalf of the “vaccine” manufacturers. I’m pretty sure that evidence exists, when you consider the “Safe and Effective” mantra, when they stated Relative Risk and not Absolute Risk, and the truly outrageous claim that people were not considered “vaccinated” until 14 days after the injection, utterly absurd, as soon as the injection enters the “victims” body, they count!

What party is going to have the balls to do this, and announce a full public inquiry into the whole “Covid” debacle, where those running the inquest have no conflicts of interest, no preconceived conclusions and outcomes, and won’t be marking their own homework!

I’d happily put my name forward to be on that inquest.

All compensation would be payed by the manufacturers and the amounts would not be insignificant, and would be based on severity and outcomes for the “victims”.

Its way past time the public and their health outcomes and expectations were put first.

Like everything else these days, it’s yet another way fir the lawyers to make money.

Everybody should watcht this video:

Hydrochloroquine features for a few minutes but I didn’t hear anything about Ivermectin. I’ve often wondered if Boris could have been saved the pain and suffering of hospital admission if he’d had the benefit of thses (shush, don’t mention) drugs.

Keeping quiet about the alternatives justified the grant of Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the jabs. In the long run, money might say it was a bad idea. If there was an alternative, EUA would not be valid.

They didn’t only keep quiet, they did worse than that they vilified Ivermectin an out of patent drug which was awarded a nobel prize, they went further and banned its sale thus killing even more people. I can never forget or forgive what those monsters from Johnson, Fauci, Starmer down for what they did.

Quite correct. But on the plus side you could buy a tube of horse de-wormer on the internet for a tenner, work out your dose per kg of body weight, and have up to 4 days treatment. In reality, after the first dose of ivermectin I woke up the next day completely clear of symptoms.

I have now watched it twice and it chills me to hear the testimony of parents who have to care for injured children. No amount of money is enough to compensate. It is worth getting the book, “Vaccines, Amen” by Aaron Siri, to get fuller details of the whole vaccine safety story.

Recently visited Asia stocked up on Ivermectin over the counter, £6 for a pack, used it with HCQ all through the scam, and still use it if I feel coldy. You think the sainted NHS would be more concerned with saving money and lives than by filling the pockets of the likes of pfizer.

Well done GHF I believe.
MHRA and JCVI should have done better.
Then again some may think they together with the ONS are doing very well at the behest of their (and sadly our) masters.
Tick tock. This is just the start.

The firm assessing vaccine harm claims in the UK has racked up costs of £48 Million? If that is true, that is an affront to the people affected by the vaccines. It might have been cheaper just paying the claimants….
I could have done this for far less….. Key is to set the criteria for payout and the timeline. It will be arbitrary anyway as it will be difficult to prove causation, but here is where you have to err on the side of the patient in my view, especially if you had a very healthy person prior to the injection. The timeline will be the most difficult, but you will have to draw a line, as the further it moves from the injection date, the more difficult it will be to talk about association and causation.
I have always said that the tax payer should not be liable for these costs and claims. These should be paid by the pharmaceutical industry and the people in charge of the decision making.

And now I have seen one of the many new taxpayer funded government adverts pushing child vaccination as people are rightly wary of the MMR jab which I believe now has chicken pox added.

I checked out the Gov Vaccine Damage Compensation Scheme when they first started pushing the poorly tested gene therapies. It paid a max of £120,000 lump sum IF you could prove that you had been 60% disabled due to the jab.

I concluded that IF you had been 60% disabled, your ability to fight a medical bureaucratic machine intended to deny you the money would be seriously compromised. And £120,000 would go nowhere towards providing for your care, possibly for many years.

An individual who was 60% (or more) disabled by the jabs would therefore have to rely on family or friends to care for them, and I wasn’t prepared to take the risk of ruining my own health, and my sons’ lives, by participating in a mass medical experiment with a novel product …. when the manufacturers had been indemnified from liability.

As with everything else, you have to take responsibility for yourself.

After many years of use, MMR vaccines been shown to be generally safe, but the current measles outbreaks are likely due to increased, general fear of vaccination – all brought about by the rollout of unapproved, untested Covid vaccines.

Apart from the children of two friends of mine who developed autism right after the MMR jab.

Its the biggest cover up in history. The Pharma companies are protected from any liability, even though they knowingly lied about the injections effectiveness, The cost to acknowledge the costs to acknowledge the harms would bankrupt countries, and more importantly harm politicians, advisors like Whitty, Valance etc careers. So the truth will not emerge for decades, millions will have been injured or died and it will all be on the heads of the men and women who forced these injections, and who made and then held people hostage to making a living at the point of a needle.
One can only hope that there is divine retribution and they will all have to pay in the end.
How they live with themselves is beyond my comprehension. But then I am not in politics or around such people.
