Brianne Dressen, 42, files a lawsuit against AstraZeneca in Utah, claiming she became "permanently disabled" after participating in the US clinical trial of its COVID-19 vaccine. Dressen alleges AstraZeneca failed to cover her medical expenses for severe neurological side effects, leading to a diagnosis of post-vaccine neuropathy. Despite facing thousands in medical bills, Dressen refused a small payout from AstraZeneca. The lawsuit follows AstraZeneca's admission of rare side effects in its vaccine, prompting over 50 class action lawsuits in the UK and a global withdrawal request due to commercial reasons. AstraZeneca is yet to comment.
