Last week The UK Government awarded it first compensable damage award to the fiancé of English musician Zion who passed away several days after receiving the AstraZenaca jab in May 2021.
I believe the Australian government capped their programme at $200,000.
Like a flat rate, regardless of age, productivity, etc.
Hmmm, calculating average wage earner, life adjusted years etc, seems pretty cheap payout for the government's hey?! Even if they get 20% payout (which they won't, because most don't even know it's an option), still leaves quite a bit in th e kitty?
Nice to know they finally put a price on the cost of a human life.
British government will concede as little as possible as late as possible - don’t hold your breath Wayne, although with AZ the effects were often too immediate and obvious. Unlike the perpetrators I also doubt whether the British government will be handing out knighthoods and damehoods to the victims.
Nor is there a pool to pay off the victims: I believe they have to go cap in hand to the treasury each time.
John, I was asked if this award can be seen as a big victory. My answer is not until the thousands of petitioners start receiving compensation. In the US, such a backlog, many of the severely injured might not make it to the day compensation starts. Maddening and very sad.
This award of course went to a widow which I am not sure has a precedent. I agree there are many thousands waiting and many will not survive - if they agree to compensate survivors of those who died then the bill even on the meagre tariff of £120k will amount to billions, but of course it is own money not theirs,].

The Public Health cabal has a very low value of human life.
