*"AstraZeneca in UK = Covishield in India"* Covid vaccine harms were expected to cost the UK Government £1.7bn, inquiry hears Problems anticipated as jabs developed more quickly and with less extensive clinical trials than usual 17 January 2025 2:05pm GMT The UK Government anticipated a £1.7 billion bill for injuries caused by the coronavirus vaccine, the Covid Inquiry has heard. Documents shown to the inquiry reveal the Government was prepared for problems because Covid vaccines were developed at a “much faster pace” and would not be put through “more extensive clinical trials that would usually be the norm”. The majority of successful vaccine harm claims relate to the AstraZeneca jab, which was found to induce vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis, a dangerous type of blood clotting which can be fatal. Those injured told the inquiry this week they had been “ignored” and treated with “disbelief” and “hostility” when they tried to seek redress. Currently, the VDPS only offers a one-off tax-free payment of £120,000 to people who have been severely injured. Lord Sharma said ministers had considered reviewing eligibility criteria for the VDPS, as well as implementing a separate compensation scheme, but had never followed through on the idea. The inquiry continues and is hearing from senior civil servants. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/17/covid-vaccine-harms-cost-government-17bn-inquiry/?ICID=continue_without_subscribing_reg_first https://x.com/BruceLe53509778/status/1880620963961966963?s=08 *Join AIM Groups:* https://awakenindiamovement.com/groups/ *Join AIM Whatsapp Broadcast Channel:* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAgLgJBKfi69nKswZ2b *Join AIM Telegram Broadcast Channel:* https://t.me/awakenindiamovement
