The family of John Cross, former NHS Pharmacist are calling for the urgent reform of the vaccine damage payment scheme. In an interview by reporter Thomas Moore of Sky News, the family stress that the scheme is not fit for purpose and is failing families affected.
John sadly took his life after the medical assessors rejected his claim stating that he didn't meet the 60% disablement threshold criteria of the out-dated scheme. UKCVFamily support the Cross family, in a call for urgent reform.
In a poll of UKCVFamily members we conducted, 73% of those polled said that they had considered suicide at some point since they had become ill. Sadly, UKCVFamily are aware of others affected who have taken their own lives.
UKCVFamily Statement
The inadequacies of the vaccine damage payment scheme, and the lack of support for those adversely affected by vaccination, has been brought to light through the Covid-19 vaccine roll-out and is now resulting in serious mistrust of British institutions.
In order to rebuild this from the general public--which is vital in the event of future health crisis--this country urgently needs to have an effective and compassionate means of medically, financially and emotionally supporting the vaccine injured and bereaved.
