1. Insane. Basically, sympathy money. Wonder if a pharma company can intervene. I’d not want some Mickey Mouse tribunal setting some precedent. I mean, ffs.

2. >A panel spokesperson said “a scientifically rigorous causal relationship is not necessary” in determining eligibility for damages.

   So they just have to be able to go, “it’s not impossible”?

3. If it’s right and this was an allergic reaction then it’s not really anything wrong with the vaccine sometimes people are just allergic to things, unfortunate though.

   Sometimes it does happen with vaccines though, but it’s really rare, and very few people die from it.

4. Is there a Japanese source? I would like to send this to the mother of a friend who passed from the Covid vaccine
