'You really shouldn't be here'

The Light interviews Alex Mitchell vaccine damage victim and campaigner

- SHANE FUDGE

ALEX Mitchell is believed to be the first person in the UK to have received compensation for adverse effects from a covid jab through the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme.

This was after losing his left leg as a result of an AstraZeneca shot in March 2021.

He is now part of a group of 51 people who are legally challenging the pharmaceutical company for vaccine damage and deaths caused by the jabs. Here he talks about his experiences over the last three years.

My life since March 2021

It has been a time of re-evaluating everything I knew. At the age of 56, I was the most content and happy man in the world, but they took everything from me. Nothing is ever going to give me my leg or my health back, so what I am doing now is about injustice and the fact that they think it is okay to abandon us.

I aim to do three things: to get help and support for those like me; to stop these things, because there is clearly a problem with them; and, above all, the children. If you are a parent, I want to tell you that, scientifically and medically, your child already has a 99.7 per cent probability of not having a problem with this disease.

The jab

The health secretary, Matt Hancock, had said at the time that the AstraZeneca jab was 100 per cent safe and effective. Did I know anything at that point? No. The nearest I got to conspiracy theories was YouTube, watching UFO programmes.
