We may never know the true number of people laid low by a rare but devastating complication related to AstraZeneca‘s Covid jab, lawyers representing families have told MailOnline.

Fifty-one families are currently pursuing legal action against the pharmaceutical titan, arguing its ‘defective’ jab was to blame for their injuries and deaths of loved ones. 

Called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TSS) or alternatively vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) the complication caused dangerous, and potential deadly, blood clots to form in the body. 

Alleged victims are being represented by Sarah Moore, a partner at law firm Leigh Day, who told this website the true scale of the issue may never be uncovered.

‘The criteria for what constituted VITT was really only published and made available to the clinical community from the beginning of March (2021).’
