The secondary trauma the vaccine injured and bereaved have faced has been enormous. The censorship, lack of compassion has let to them failing to receive the support they need. It amplified the grief and harm they were already experiencing.

Did our government do the same?
Is this why it is taking so long for those who suffered vaccine injury or bereaved to have their stories told?
Is this why accounts were censored and shut down? 🤔

Instead the victims of the Covid 19 vaccines had the secondary trauma of censorship and denial.
💔💔"My son Adam, 41, had everything to live for. But he died after the AstraZeneca vaccine gave him a blood clot.' Mail readers share stories of the deaths or health problems they fear were caused by the jab... and their battles for compensation"
How many of you when you walked forward to take a "SAFE AND EFFECTIVE" Covid 19 vaccine realised you were at risk of the below conditions and needed to be left 60% disabled or worse to receive help from the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme?
Even then the scheme leaves you
What did the Covid 19 vaccine injured and bereaved do that was so bad to deserve to be ignored by Government past and present?😢
We hear speech after speech by politicians on how the Infected Blood and Post Office Scandal should not happen again and how lessons should be learnt.
Wow! This is so offensive…AstraZeneca became Britain’s first £200bn company today as investors continued to push up the shares after years of rising revenues and earnings..
….Yet they still refuse to meet the vaccine injured and bereaved.
Even though they admit its Covid
Every story matters.
In 2021, a father-of-two fought for his life on a ventilator after developing Guillain-Barre syndrome post-AstraZeneca COVID-19 jab.
This is why VIBUK keeps fighting for reform.

A medical practice has accepted that a 26-year-old man who died within two weeks of taking AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine was not told the correct risk.
…It was not made clear to us that it was fatal and the blood clots were on the brain!
VDPS reform is needed.

Not only do those with a vaccine injury have the injury to deal with, some of the injured also incur further expenses for the medication they now need to take.
