AstraZeneca admits its Covid vaccine can cause rare side effect in court documents for first time
#AstraZeneca has admitted for the first time in court documents that its #Covid vaccine can cause a rare side effect, in an apparent about-turn that could pave the way for a multi-million pound legal payout.
The pharmaceutical giant is being sued in a class action over claims that its #vaccine, developed with the University of Oxford, caused death and serious injury in dozens of cases.
Lawyers argue that the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine is “defective” and that its efficacy has been “vastly overstated” – claims AstraZeneca strongly denies.
