CHENNAI, India, December 11, 2020 (
LifeSiteNews) —A 40-year-old Indian businessman who suffered a “neurological and psychological” breakdown after taking a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca is being sued by the Serum Institute of India (SII), the world’s largest vaccine producer, for defamation.
The man’s wife told local media that he began vomiting and complaining of a pounding headache ten days after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine on Oct. 1st, RT
reported. His wife says that he experienced confusion so severe, he couldn’t identify close family members.
“He spent 15 days in hospital, including 8 days in intensive care, suffering from acute neuro-encephalopathy (an altered mental state) that left him “totally disoriented,” so much so that he could no longer recognize close relatives,” his wife told reporters,
according to Science Magazine.
The man has asked for trials to be immediately halted, and is suing for $676,000 in damages from SII. “The lawsuit also demands that SII, AstraZeneca and the Oxford Vaccine Group immediately halt vaccine trials, in which some 1,600 volunteers are currently enrolled,”
reported RT.
In response, SII is suing the man for $13.5 million, calling his allegations “malicious” and complaining of damage to their reputation.
SII
stated that the man was “specifically informed by the medical team that the complications he suffered were independent of the vaccine trial . . .
