The husband of a BBC presenter who died following the complications of vaccination against Covid, has taken legal action against AstraZeneca. Speaking to the BBC himself, the man said he had “no other choice” after the death of his wife, Lisa Shaw, who worked for BBC Radio Newcastle and died a week after the first dose of vaccine in May 2021.
In August 2021, a coroner ruled that the 44-year-old had died of “vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia,” a rare condition related to the administration. “It’s not my style to say I want to sue someone, but we’ve been trying to engage with the government and MPs for almost two years since Lisa died – the man told the BBC – and none of them has us contacted or made a commitment to us. Each engagement has proved ephemeral, at best, so this is why we have no alternative. If the government or AstraZeneca don’t want to engage with us, then what else can we do?”. The man said he only wanted to get “sort of acknowledgment that these deaths happened“. And he specified: “we are not madmen or theorists of conspiracy, we are husbands and wives and members of a family who have lost someone – that is all. Any amount of money won’t bring my son’s mom back“.
