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.

Police release details on fiery, fatal bus crash in Calgary

Calgary police released more details on Friday about a fiery bus crash and explosion that resulted in three deaths.

Just after 1 p.m. on Thursday, a collision involving a Calgary transit bus in the city’s northeast Saddle Ridge neighbourhood led to a fire. Three people were declared dead at the scene, and 16 were injured.

The bus was travelling north in the 800 block of Saddletowne Circle N.E., toward 80th Avenue, near the neighbourhood’s fire station. Police said they believe the bus struck a truck driving in the same direction. The truck then entered an adjacent lane, sideswiped an SUV and struck the rear of a box truck.
