COVID
Sevilla Court Accepts Case Against the Ministry of Health For Vax Damage Claim- Paralysed young man claims 1 million euros for alleged Covid vaccine injuries: {Translation}
– A 19-year-old man from Ecija (Seville) has filed a claim against the Ministry of Health, asking for almost one million euros in damages, claiming that he was left paraplegic as a result of the second dose of the covid-19 vaccine.
– As his lawyer, Fernando Osuna, explained to EFE, and as stated in the complaint filed, the young man is using various medical reports to prove that his certified 84 percent disability is “directly related to the vaccine”, specifically to the second dose, which he received on 23 September 2021.
– According to him, after these doses he began to suffer “small sensory alterations with weakness in both arms” to which he did not attach importance, as he attributed them to the side effects of the vaccine itself, but in December 2021 he began to have motor alterations in his legs and pain in his back that worsened “until it became completely impossible for me to walk”.
– On 13 December 2021, he went to the Emergency Department of the Hospital de Alta Resolución de Écija, from where he was transferred to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville, where he was admitted until 5 January, and “after the corresponding treatment and diagnostic study” he was transferred “from the Neurology ward to the Spinal Cord Injury Unit”, to remain in hospital until 26 August.
– Two weeks earlier, on 11 August, he was diagnosed with “transverse myelitis in temporary relation to the second dose of vaccine with covid”, while the discharge report indicated “incomplete spinal cord injury of sensory level C7 right/C6 left, and motor level C7 right and C8 left of medical cause in probable relation to inflammatory aetiology”.
– The young man left the hospital with a treatment of seven different drugs, and on 11 December 2022 he was recognised with a degree of disability of 84 percent by resolution of the Territorial Delegation of the Regional Ministry of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families and Equality.
– The lawyer Fernando Osuna has pointed out that the young man was an active sportsman until he received the vaccine, and in the claim he asks to take into account that the rehabilitation treatment he has to undergo is not covered by the Public Health System, so that since September 2022 he has spent more than 6,000 euros travelling to Seville and paying for therapies in a private centre.

UK
UK now a ‘legitimate Russian target’, pundits fear US caution on weapons could prolong war in Ukraine:
– British officials are now a “legitimate military target” for Russian attacks due to the UK’s support for Ukraine, a senior Kremlin official has warned – but pundits fear that America’s cautious approach to sending weapons could prolong the conflict.
– Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Vladimir Putin’s security council, said Britain’s actions amounted to an “undeclared war” on his country. His comments came after Foreign Secretary James Cleverly’s assertion that Ukraine had the right to “project force beyond its borders” into Russia to resist Putin’s invasion and defend itself.
– Mr Cleverly’s comments appeared at odds, however, with more cautious comments from Washington. On Tuesday, a National Security Council spokesperson said that the US did not support strikes within Russia.

SPACE
Launch of Spain’s Miura 1 rocket aborted due to gusts of wind:
– The launch of Spain’s first reusable space rocket, the privately-developed Miura 1, has been suspended due to gusts of wind at the launch site in Andalucía Wednesday morning.
– The rocket had been given a launch window between 5.30am and 10.30am on Wednesday, 31 May after getting the green light from PLD Space, the company that built it. However, a problem with the oxygen charging caused the countdown to be stopped for a few minutes and, after that was overcome, an unfavourable weather forecast forced the blast-off to be suspended for an unknown period.
