Vaccine trial patient claims was permanently disabled after taking AstraZeneca's COVID vaccine; here's what happened

Amidst growing concerns around the safety of COVID vaccines developed by AstraZeneca, a new claim has come to the fore. A 42 year old American woman has claimed that she was "permanently disabled" after taking AstraZeneca's COVID vaccine during the clinical trial process. She also claims that her disability was due to the failure by the drug maker in providing her with medical care when she developed side effects.

"Brianne Dressen, a 42-year-old former teacher from Utah, says she developed a severe neurological condition after taking part in a vaccine trial in 2020. She is suing AstraZeneca for an alleged breach of contract, after she said it failed to provide medical care for her side effects," The Telegraph reported. It is believed to be the first of its kind lawsuit in the US.
