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. The news agencies in the UK have all published articles about this decision. And in the US, crickets.
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.
