In this file picture a patient receives an injection of the Comirnaty Covid-19 vaccine by Biontech-Pfizer at a vaccination centre in Berlin’s Humboldt Forum museum on January 18, 2022. – German courts will from June 12, 2023 begin to examine a series of claims over adverse effects suffered after coronavirus vaccinations, more than two years after one of the fastest and most extensive innoculation campaigns worldwide.
But the jabs, which had been developed at breakneck speed and granted early approval for usage, are now the focus of legal procedures in several countries including France and Britain where plaintiffs argue that the vaccines harmed their health. In her claim, the plaintiff reported suffering effects including “pain in the upper body, swelling of the extremities, exhaustion, fatigue and sleeping disorders” after receiving the vaccine, the court said.
He believes that the medical files he has on hand offer a link between the vaccines and the symptoms experienced by his clients.BioNTech’s mRNA vaccine, a scientific breakthrough, had been granted conditional marketing authorisation as early as December 21, 2020, by the EU regulatory authority EMA.
Among the worst cases, “the symptoms are very different, they vary from stroke to thrombosis to cardiac diseases”, said another German lawyer, Joachim Caesar-Preller, who represents 140 clients making similar claims. Besides the legal avenue, claimants can also turn to the state for compensation for the loss of income.
