Quote Last month, German Health Minister and renowned virus pest Karl Lauterbach gave a remarkable interview in which he denounced “exorbitant” pharmaceutical profits, deplored “dismaying” vaccine injuries, and called for the manufacturers to set aside funds for those who have been harmed.

He did so amid a growing wave of reporting on vaccine injuries in the German press – a wave which his statements have now turned into a tsunami. In the weeks since, vaccine injuries and side effects have become the dominant theme of German press coverage on the injections, from local papers to national media.

It’s been a serious shift, the likes of which I’m not sure has unfolded in any other country. To give you a taste of it, I’ve assembled a representative selection of stories from the last eight weeks or so, in roughly reverse chronological order. As you read through them, remember that these are all links to publications read by ordinary people; I’ve excluded all media with overt covid-sceptic associations.

From the national tabloid BILD:
He lost his sight: Dietmar S. sues BioNTech for 150,000 Euros.

Dietmar S. became as good as blind in his right eye following covid vaccination. Now the case is going to trial.

From Der Spiegel:
“The problems are hushed up”: Marburg cardiologist Bernhard Schieffer treats people who suffer from long-term symptoms after covid vaccinations. He criticises the lack of support – and Health Minister Karl Lauterbach.

From the Hessische/Niedersäschsische Allgemeine, a regional paper:
Post-Vac: “My life is no longer like before” – Sick after covid vaccination.

Almost five million people in Hesse have been vaccinated against covid-19. Some have developed serious illnesses afterwards. One of them is Dieter Gebert from Kassel.

From the local Frankfurter Neue Presse:
Lupus after covid vaccination: A young woman from Hesse is treated in special Cologne clinic.

19-year-old Juline from Butzbach was severely injured by a corona vaccination and now requires expensive immunoadsorption.

From the state media behemoth ZDF:
Covid vaccine injury: Do manufacturers face liability? Anyone who has suffered vaccine damage can take action against the vaccine manufacturers and apply for state benefits. But the hurdles for compensation are high.

From tagesschau, a major state media news service:
Soon the first lawsuits will start: Across Germany, there are almost 200 civil lawsuits against corona vaccine manufacturers like BioNTech. The plaintiffs claim to have been harmed by the vaccination.

From the regional Schwäbische Zeitung:
Injection with an aftermath: A man from Sigmaringen suffered a stroke after covid vaccination

Shortly after the second jab, Bernhard Strobel collapsed. He still feels the consequences today. Now he is going to court.

Again from BILD:
VACCINE INJURY! 1ST CASE BEFORE THE COURT: Oxana G. (35) is wheelchair-bound following covid vaccination.

Across #Germany, 185 civil #lawsuits are pending because of damages caused by #corona #vaccinations. Oxana G. (35) is one of the injured parties. The fact that the courts are finally dealing with her case is already seen as a success by the woman from Halle: “I have lost my life – as I knew it before. I hope that my family and I will finally receive compensation and help.”

From hessenschau, a publication of the regional Hessischer Rundfunk:
Sick following covid vaccination: Why official points of contact [for the vaccine injured] are necessary.

Around 5 million people in Hesse have been vaccinated against corona. Some have become seriously ill as a result of the vaccination. Those affected often fail in their search for medical expertise; they feel abandoned by the health system and the state.

From Die Zeit, Germany’s largest weekly newspaper:
What we know about covid vaccine injury: Karl Lauterbach has promised victims of vaccine damage faster help – and caused confusion about how common it is in the first place. The state of the question.

From the Berliner Zeitung:
Covid vaccine researcher: “Allegations must be investigated immediately.” Vaccine researcher Carlos A. Guzmán talks about the benefits, limitations and side effects of the covid vaccine – as well as allegations of inconsistencies in the approval process.

From the Bamberg-based news portal inFranken:
Pensioner (87) dies eight months after covid vaccination – his son’s lawsuit fails.

After an elderly man died within a few months of covid vaccination, his son filed a lawsuit against the doctor. He has now failed before the Landgericht.

Again from ZDF:
The suffering of covid vaccine victims: Long-term complaints can occur following a corona infection. Vaccination is supposed to protect against this – but it can also have side effects. What’s next for the vaccine-injured?

From Tagesspiegel:
Possible heart damage after covid vaccination: Woman sues BioNTech for damages. The company is facing its first civil lawsuit

Never mind the sensationalist headline, if true this development could (a) make it possible for many people to seek compensation for Trump's crimes, (b) tank his presidential ambitions, and (c) make his life almost as miserable as it deserves to be

The 'Shitty #Media #Men' List Goes to #Court

source: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/shitty-media-men-lawsuit-moira-donegan-stephen-elliott.html

At the height of the #MeToo #movement, a magazine editor named #MoiraDonegan created a #Google spreadsheet titled “Shitty Media Men” and shared it with other #women in the #industry. For 12 hours, until Donegan took it down, women added the names of men alongside accusations that ranged from “creepy af in the DM’s” to rape. Now, five years later, the list is at the center of one of many Me Too #lawsuits playing out in the courts.

...

When women turn to channels like these, it’s usually because they lack better options. In 1990, a group of women at Brown #University wrote the names of alleged rapists on the walls of women’s bathrooms. The vice-president of university relations described them as “Magic Marker #terrorists,” but at the time, Brown didn’t have a policy to investigate rape accusations.

Bayer at ‘End of Rope’ in Roundup Cases, St. Louis Attorney Says

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a bid by biotech giant Bayer to end thousands of lawsuits alleging its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer, likely costing the company billions of dollars in settlements.

The decision is another key defeat for Bayer. Together, the setbacks are expected to eliminate a legal standstill in unresolved cases, according to plaintiffs’ lawyers. Bayer now essentially has two choices, they say: Go to trial to fight more cases, or reach additional out-of-court settlements.

“Everything has kind of fallen apart on Bayer,” said Jim Onder, an attorney from the St. Louis-based Onder Law Firm. “They’re kind of at the end of the rope.”

Onder represents just under 20,000 plaintiffs in Roundup cases — about half of the unresolved caseload nationwide, he said.

Bayer said it “respectfully disagrees” with the court’s decision and that the company is “fully prepared to manage the litigation risk associated with potential future claims in the U.S.
