The widower of a BBC presenter who died from coronavirus vaccine complications has launched legal action against pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca on behalf of 75 people whose 'relatives died or suffered injuries related to the jab'.
Mother-of-one Lisa Shaw, 44, died from 'vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia' in May 2021, about a week after receiving her first Covid jab. She worked for BBC Radio Newcastle.
Lawyers for her husband, Gareth Eve, reportedly sent pre-action protocol letters to AstraZeneca last year on the behalf of nearly 75 people who allege that their relatives died or suffered injuries related to the vaccine.
Her husband, Gareth Eve, reportedly spent two years trying to get the Government, MPs and three prime ministers to address what happened to Lisa and now feels he has 'no alternative' but to pursue legal action.
Mr Eve, who is vaccinated himself, says the lawsuit is not about 'whether somebody is anti-vax' but about those who lost loved ones and have been 'made to feel like it's a dirty secret'.
'It's not about Covid, it's not about how many lives the Covid vaccination has saved, it's about what this vaccination has done to Lisa and other families,' he told the BBC.
Mr Eve said he sought legal action after two years of failed attempts to contact officials, alleging no one had 'reached out or engaged with us at all'.
He reiterated that he and the fellow claimants are 'not crackpots or conspiracy theorists' but instead family members who lost someone because of the vaccine.
'These things have happened to too many people and we're made to feel like it's a dirty secret, that we're talking about something we shouldn't be talking about.'
The father of one said the lawsuit is aimed at drawing attention to 'what this vaccination has done to Lisa and other families'.
He added that it's established that his wife's death was 'caused by AstraZeneca's Covid vaccination

It's interesting how people lack empathy for others until it happens to them.

"A huge story unfolding in the UK despite the very little or no coverage in the mainstream media on the subject of vaccine injuries and deaths. According to reports online others will join the legal action launched against Astrazeneca and so far this concerns 75 people whose relatives died or suffered serious injuries from the vaccine."
Apart from in the Daily Mail, the BBC and the Telegraph?
Just three MSMs, from your own sources?
75 people, out of how many millions of doses?
From your source:
"Its not about Covid, it's not about how many lives the Covid vaccination has saved, it's about what this vaccination has done to Lisa and other families,' he told the BBC. "
Quite agree. Good luck to them. They have good claims, rare, but good.
Before you accuse me of the usual robotic response, just a bit of context and proportionality for you.
Much needed, I'm afraid.
So in this thread we have for once more exposed both Astrazeneca and the disingenuous and dishonest British press.

Deaths due to the vaccine
Debilitating conditions due to the vaccine
Severe adverse reactions due to the vaccine
Withdrawal of the vaccine from most countries
Hardly a success story and hardly the miracle of science as it has been described by the press and the journalists who themselves played a crucial role in propagating misinformation and disinformation all along.

Do you realise that before anyone is given the vaccine, they have to sign a consent. It points out that there could be possible side efects.
No one has a gun pointed at their head to make them sign.
Lets get some reality here.

Having spent over 30 years representing Claimant victims of clinical negligence and fighting for justice for them against the medical establishment and big pharma ( including mass actions against said big pharma) I think that I have accomplished rather more good for such victims than you will ever achieve by randomly posting your opinions on an internet forum.
"Defending the pharmaceuticals", indeed.
I have spent quite a lot of my professional life doing the exact opposite, so you can stick that in your pipe, and smoke it, sunshine.

Employers should support staff in getting the covid vaccine. There's currently no law in England, Scotland or Wales that says people must have the vaccine. There may be some people who are advised not to have the vaccine, for example for health reasons.

You do realise that any vaccine can cause serious side effects, including death. Covid Vaccine is no diferent.
Maybe you should actually do reaserch. As for being dismissed for not having the vaccine, then :-
