Wow! The implication of this is that we should have let people die in their tens of thousands rather than offer them a vaccine.
We all knew that the vaccine would cause side effects or even death for a minority of people, as they all do, but this has to be balanced with the lives they save.
Tragic though it is for those affected and their families, I don’t think compensation should be paid. There was no negligence involved and the vaccine was not forced on him - it was his own choice to have the inoculation.
99.7% survival rate doesn’t correlate with letting tens of thousands die OB. As for the “it was his own choice” argument, do you really think the pressure, nudging, social stigma etc that was rampant at the time played any part whatsoever in influencing his decision? Just take a look back in this thread to some of the strong views expressed about anti Vaxxers or more accurately people who could critically think and were not convinced by the arguments put to them or the sincerity of the government’s intentions or their medical and scientific advisors.
The vaccine was insufficiently tested and if the usual level of testing had been conducted it would probably not have been certified.
As I said before, this is just the tip of the iceberg, there will be a lot more of this coming out in the next months. It is interesting to see how the mainstream media are ignoring this story like the obedient lapdogs they are.
