vaccination, controversy over side effects continued.



The authorities are in the position that there are no serious side effects that are directly related to the vaccine so far, and compensation is only possible when the causal relationship is clearly clarified. Medical reporter Cho Dong-chan reported on compensation for damage related to the vaccine.

On the night of the 4th, a 64-year-old man who was hospitalized in a nursing hospital died of a cerebral hemorrhage sequelae.



The cause of death was acute hepatitis. Two days ago, I was given AstraZeneca vaccine, but health officials said it had nothing to do with the vaccine.



[Cho Yong-gyun/Professor of Infectious Medicine at Gachon Medical University (last 8 days): The patient died of acute sepsis due to cholangitis while the patient's disease was not confirmed in the early stage due to poor self-expression.]



The story of the bereaved family was different.



[Bereaved Family: (The day before vaccination) My father was in very good condition when I visited on March 1st.

It was a situation where my father was able to communicate clearly, and it was the day before his death (March 3).

I also spoke on the phone at that time.] The



doctor in charge said that in the previous test, all liver levels were normal, and the food and medicines given by the hospital had not changed in particular.



[Survivor: Overall, the attending physician is a little...

Because, the type of medicine my father was taking has not changed...

Disseminated blood clots and brain blood clots, in which blood clots in several blood vessels simultaneously form after vaccination, are expected to be more controversial.



The European Medicines Agency said that the corona vaccine has not been proven to cause disseminated, cerebral blood clots, but it is possible.



Cancer-causing substances are classified as carcinogens if they are judged to be possible without proof.



Vaccine side effects are strictly required to demonstrate a causal relationship.



[Medical University Professor: Just because the direct causal relationship has not been verified, it is unlikely that there is no causal relationship.]



Even if the health authorities did not acknowledge the causal relationship, there have been cases where the damage from side effects of the vaccine was recognized.



In 2014, the Supreme Court ruled that children with intractable epilepsy after receiving a DPT shot should be compensated by the state for disability costs.



In the medical community, there are many opinions to compensate for side effects that are difficult to determine medically, even if the causal relationship is not clear.
