The devastated husband of a marketing executive who died of a stroke caused by the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine today demanded the government compensate those families who lost loved ones, following his wife's inquest. Nicola Weideling suffered catastrophic bleeds on her brain after being hospitalised with blood clots caused by the vaccination she received just 24 days before she died.
The 45-year-old had complained to her GP about neck pain but she was not diagnosed with vaccine side effects until she was taken to hospital with several other symptoms of blood clots. Speaking after his late wife's inquest at Hampshire Coroners Court in Winchester, Kurt Weideling said the government now needs to follow through on its promise to pay affected families £120,000 under the Vaccine Damage Payment programme.
Her family insist those like Mrs Weideling who lost their lives after 'doing the right thing' and getting vaccinated should not simply be dismissed as 'collateral damage'. The distraught 52-year-old IT manager said: "My fundamental problem here is this country is the only Western country I know of which decided it was safe to give this vaccine to people over the age of 40.
