The UK government is set to pay out more than £11.5 million in compensation to nearly 100 people severely disabled or killed by Covid-19 vaccines, according to official NHS Business Services Authority data obtained via freedom of information request.
Seventy-two claimants have already received the scheme’s one-off, tax-free £120,000 payment, with another 24 approved but still awaiting funds. In total, just over £8.6 million has been disbursed so far, with £2.9 million more approved. Out of 5,708 claims lodged, 1,614 were rejected, 109 failed initial criteria, and 3,889 remain unresolved, often due to missing medical records.
Some 430 claims concern deaths following vaccination.
The most frequently cited conditions among successful claims include vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (including cerebral venous sinus thrombosis) and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Separate Office for National Statistics figures record dozens of deaths in England and Wales where the vaccine was listed as the underlying or contributing cause.
These payouts, while limited, confirm what a handful of brave doctors warned about from the beginning: the Covid-19 vaccines carried real and sometimes devastating risks that were ruthlessly downplayed during the aggressive, one-size-fits-all rollout.
Ireland, unlike Britain, has no proper no-fault vaccine injury compensation scheme, leaving injured patients and grieving families with little recourse except costly lawsuits.
Dublin GP Dr Marcus de Brún, a former member of the Medical Council itself, has also faced an intense fitness-to-practise inquiry. He was accused of professional misconduct over social media criticism of lockdowns, masks, and the vaccination of children, comments he made after resigning from the council in protest over its handling of nursing home deaths. De Brún described aspects of the child vaccination campaign in particularly strong terms and argued there was no safe forum other than social media for doctors to raise legitimate concerns.
This makes the Irish Medical Council’s aggressive pursuit of dissenting doctors all the more outrageous. Wexford GP Dr Billy Ralph is currently enduring a fitness-to-practise inquiry for publicly questioning the mass vaccination of children, lockdowns, and masks on social media. He is one of a small group of doctors targeted for challenging the official narrative.
In an era of institutional pressure, censorship, and medical groupthink, these physicians who refused to administer experimental products to low-risk patients, insisted on informed consent, and spoke uncomfortable truths were not villains, they were heroes. By prioritising “first, do no harm” over career safety and political compliance, they likely prevented unnecessary injuries and saved lives.
As vaccine damage claims continue to mount, history is vindicating them. Ireland’s failure to offer fair compensation, combined with the persecution of principled doctors like Ralph and de Brún, exposes a shameful chapter in which truth-tellers were punished while conformity was rewarded.
