Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca is facing a class-action lawsuit over allegations that its Covid-19 vaccine has caused deaths and serious injuries in numerous cases. AstraZeneca, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Oxford, developed and manufactured the vaccine known as Covishield. In recent court documents, AstraZeneca admitted for the first time that the vaccine can potentially cause a rare side effect known as Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (TTS). The admission follows concerns raised by health experts regarding the safety of the vaccine.

However, recent reports have questioned the vaccine’s safety after AstraZeneca acknowledged that it can lead to rare side effects, including TTS. Covishield has been administered to millions of people worldwide, and the potential risks associated with the vaccine have prompted legal action and further investigations.
