Covid vaccine victim who lost the use of her hands after AstraZeneca jab was ‘not disabled enough’ for compensation

A Covid vaccine victim who lost the use of her hands after receiving a jab was refused compensation because she was not deemed disabled enough.

Marie-Claire Hoyle volunteered to take part in the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine trial in 2020 but just two weeks after her second jab, she developed a debilitating neurological condition.

The 44-year-old NHS nurse was diagnosed with transverse myelitis which caused agonising inflammation of the spine and left her unable to use her hands.
