In the regional court of Rottweiler, a German is demanding 150,000 euros from the vaccine manufacturer BioNTech for the first time. Since the Corona bite, the man has suffered from a huge decline in vision in his right eye. With the lawsuit he demonstrates it to more than 200 Germans. And this could soon be the case in Austria as well.
A 58-year-old proudly claims 150,000 euros from Covid vaccine manufacturer BioNTech. At the regional court of Rottweiler in Germany, a lawsuit is being filed against the group for the first time for possible vaccine damage – the man suffers a massive deterioration of his vision in his right eye after the corona vaccination.
Final trial postponed due to judge bias
He is one of more than 200 Germans who are claiming damages against a manufacturer of corona vaccines. Last month, the start of a civil lawsuit for alleged vaccine damage was surprisingly delayed. The complainant says that since and as a result of the vaccination she has suffered from pain in the upper body, swelling, fatigue, tiredness and insomnia. She also demands pain and suffering compensation of at least 150,000 euros. The woman’s attorney filed a bias motion against the judge — the lawsuit should be heard before a chamber, not a single judge.
BioNTech considers the allegations unfounded
The 58-year-old’s case is now the first oral hearing on the BioNTech vaccine “Comirnaty.” The vaccine manufacturer considers the allegations to be unfounded: “Based on all the information provided, we have carefully investigated the health disorders described by the plaintiff,” says a spokeswoman. No decision is expected on Monday.
168 awards in Austria
Civil lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers are also imminent in Austria soon. To date, 168 awards have been made under the Vaccination Damages Act. Claims based on the Vaccination Damage Act are decided by decision within the framework of an administrative procedure.
Even if the plaintiff wins, the manufacturer does not pay. When the vaccine was purchased through the EU, it was agreed that the respective member states would pay the damages and legal costs. This was agreed during the pandemic situation in order to quickly provide the population with vaccines.
