What I find perplexing is that the payout seems to be the same for everyone.
£120,000 for a death caused by a vaccine is far too low and it doesn't even reflect on the fact that an otherwise healthy 48 year old had probably many more years to live and contribute in taxes and national insurance and his earnings could be well above £120,000 if we assume that men in the UK retire normally around the age of 65-66
.
Furthermore there is no price anyone can put in a human life.

Yes, it's the same for everyone because it's based on culpability, not on the earning potential of the individual.
In the UK the life of a pauper is considered equal to the life of a billionaire businessman in dollar terms. So they both get the same payout.
This is a tax free payout, and so in real terms it's worth about £200,000. Which is 8 years average salary in the UK.

As I said in another thread the person was only 48 years old and healthy. We would expect him to live much longer and usually men retire by the age of 65-66. So he had another 17-18 years of earnings and contributions and even with ab average salary he would have made much more than the compensation awarded to his partner.
However it isn't only the earnings but mostly the loss of human life which is priceless and the loss suffered by his close relatives and friends. Imagine one has a partner/wife/husband and children fir example and looses his/her life because of a vaccine.
So no I don't think most us agree with the compensation awarded to his partner.
Even if ultimately you can still take your case to the court, no family or partner has to go through this in my view.

If we hadn't rolled out the vaccine how much would you pay all the extra people who would have died from covid?

This isn't part of the conversation and if you want to address it please make another thread.
And you need to be able to quantify in your thread what you said above, i.e provide strong evidence for risk to benefit ratio in all age groups (again in your thread)

It's a direct response to your statement.

Unfortunately vaccines can have side effects, having a payment scheme when it does seems a good idea.
It doesn't change that vaccines are a massive net benefit.

I think you are trying to shift the conversation to something else. The topic is whether the payout is considered fair for a death caused by a vaccine.
Do you think it's fair?

Again i dont know HOW many this has to be repeated since somehow people in denial seem to have zero memory or infact zero knowledge.
in 2020, 0.02% of the ENTIRE WORLD died from covid. that means 99.98% DID NOT. UNDESTAND 0 IS NOTHING AND 100% IS EVERYTHING. 0.02% IS VERY CLOSE TO 0% HERP DERP. 99.98% IS VERY CLOSE TO 100% HERP DERP.
In the uk in 2020. 0.1% of the population died from covid.
No vaccines. From the ages of 0 to 59, 4727 people died within 28 days of testing positive.
Thats 0.006% of the uk. Get that into your THICK skulls. The virus CANNOT kill barely anyone. The injections CANNOT STOP THE VIRUS HENCE WHY THE VIRUS IS STILL SPREADING AND KILLING PEOPLE. You absolute nit wits.
Of all deaths registered in 2020 in England and Wales, 73,766 (12.1%) were due to coronavirus (COVID-19); the age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR) was 126.9 deaths per 100,000 people.
