Fit and healthy 58 year old dad paralysed by Covid vaccine wins £120,000 in compensation

The story is from the UK and about the Astrazeneca vaccine which is responsible for the debilitating condition of a 58 otherwise healthy individual who developed severe aches alongside pins and needles days after receiving his first dose of the AstraZeneca jab in March last year (2021)

A fit and healthy grandad whose life was 'destroyed' by the Covid jab has been awarded £120,000 as he continues his long and painful recovery. Anthony Shingler recently returned home to his loved ones after spending 420 days in the Royal Stoke and Hayward hospitals.

The 58-year-old had fallen desperately ill just days after having his first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and ended up on a ventilator fighting for his life for months.

He was then was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a serious condition that sees the body’s immune system damage nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.

Mr Shingler stayed in the hospital for 420 days(!) after diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome which is a serious disorder where the immune system attacks the nerves and can muscle weakness or even paralysis.

He can't walk without a frame, he can't dress or drive, and his life has changed dramatically as he is now confined to a wheelchair. He is using a frame to walk sometimes up to 20 m according to his interview in the mirror

While he was being rehabilitated at the Royal Stoke, his wife Nicola Shigler, 49, was researching the disease when she came across the Vaccine Damage Payment scheme (VDPS) in May last year. The government funded initiative offers a one-off payment to people who’ve been left severely disabled as a result of a vaccination.

To qualify for the £120,000 tax-free payout, a person has to be 60% disabled and provide medical evidence from doctors. Anthony and Nicola, from Northwood, received a call on Tuesday (June 21) confirming that he would receive the cash - 13 months after she applied for it

The amount isn't that great given that he would have to live like this for the rest of his life and he is lucky to be alive. The amount he received is around $145,000 but I think a fair amount should have been around $5 million dollars. The UK doesn't offer more than £120,000 and this must be revised imo.

There has been some discussion in other threads about the Astrazeneca vaccine which has been withdrawn from the country that has created it, the UK, and most other countries that have used it have already stopped the roll out. I find it preposterous some members still claim the vaccine is 'safe and effective'.

In another of my threads I have described the case of a 26 year old who died as result of receiving the Astrazeneca vaccine and his family has taken legal action after raising concerns about advice given at the vaccine clinic and the standard of care received in hospital once he felt ill.

Impossible, the clot shot only causes happiness and world peace as side effects.

120,000 is nothing.

He should have gotten 120 million. Not from the govt, straight from Astrazeneca.

There are members lately who still argue the vaccine is safe and effective. I don't know what is going on with the information they receive.

I have written earlier that $5M looks a fair compensation.

But I agree with you that this must be paid by Astrazeneca and not by the Government.

As usual the taxpayer foots the bill.The government has no money,it's taxpayer money.
Astra Zenica get off Scott free due to the government contracts clearing them of any liability.
I'm not sure whether he deserves compensation from the taxpayer.He lined up like a sheep for the clot shot.
He must have known it was not long enough in the making to be properly tested,i.e. experimental.
Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
I bet he was one of the pot and pan bangers for the NHS during the first lockdown.

George Floyd's family was blessed with a $25 million award from the city of Minneapolis, after he Overdosed on Drugs and a Police Officer finished him off.

He might have gotten more compensation if the doctors knelt on his neck for 8 minutes before inserting the needle.

Don't forget that many were pressured and coerced to get vaccinated or eve threatened with dismissal by their employers.

$145,000 is not a lot of money for a condition which is lifelong and so debilitating. The UK must have to revise this figure which is £120,000 and is paid when the victim can prove they are disabled by at least 60%

What an unfair amount. If paralyzed, just updating his house, car, and buying equipment needed to live or enjoy leisure activities, not to mention medical bills, is all gonna cost 120k and then some. So it won’t even come close to making him whole and no amount is gonna make it even no longer being able to face life unhandicapped

Precisely!

In all fairness, he will get free healthcare via the NHS. So we can assume that "medical bills" won't be part of his onward costs.

The £120K is an entitlement payment and not a legal "full stop". If he wants to pursue further legal processes, then that's up to him.

Vaccine Damage Payments are not a compensation scheme. You can still take legal action to claim compensation, even if you get a Vaccine Damage Payment.

Another example onto why very likely prime minsters JT of Canada had never taken the AZ shot.
Nor did the other politicians..

We have discussed this before. And you are correct.

But the Government's Vaccine Damage Scheme could have been much more generous given the circumstances.

Do you know how difficult is to get the pharmaceuticals to the court?! Especially when you are now paralysed, not in the best condition, and not having the money to do so. These are costly procedures....Very costly I would say.

The Astrazeneca vaccine has been withdrawn in the UK, the country that has created it, and several countries stopped its roll out. There is a reason for it.

Eeesh.

He can barely buy a half decent powered wheelchair for that amount of money.

It should be millions, minimum, and from the company, not the government.

The government leaders that forced these shots should go directly to jail, not pay money.

I agree very strongly!
These products were mandated in several countries and therefore there should be no question as to who is responsible for these vaccine injuries. The responsibility is both on the manufacturers and the Governments for different reasons of course.

It's just a payment. While I agree that taking anyone to court for compensation is expensive, it's not up to the Government to do, or to provide compensatory payments in lieu of such an action. Besides, it'll all be class actions going forwards, with all sorts of legal shenanigans being pulled from the hat. It's also very difficult with pharmaceuticals, as they always have some form of side effects. People can die from taking aspirin, for example.

There is a huge difference between aspirin and mRNA gene therapies which are untested, experimental, and potentially hazardous. The argument that all medicines have side effects cannot stand in a court of law. And all societies may have criminals but that doesn't make any serious crimes less serious or matters that cannot be excused or trivialised.
