Vaccine Injured & Bereaved UK (VIB UK) – Fighting for Justice
VIB UK is a dedicated campaign advocating for those who have suffered injury or loss due to the Covid-19 vaccine. Our mission is to push for urgent reform of the UK’s Vaccine damage Payment Scheme, ensuring fair recognition and support for affected individuals and families.
Driven by a team of passionate volunteers who have personally experienced the devastating impact of vaccine-related injuries and bereavement, we bring firsthand insight into the challenges faced by those affected.
Our stories fuel our determination to demand justice, accountability, and meaningful change.
Join us in our fight for reform. Together, we can make a difference.
At Vaccine Injured & Bereaved UK (VIB UK), our members have experienced life-changing injuries and the devastating loss of loved ones due to severe adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccine. Many have been diagnosed with serious conditions such as Vaccine-Induced Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia (VITT), a dangerous clotting disorder, and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a neurological condition that can cause paralysis. Others suffer from Vaccine-Induced Vasculitis, strokes, nerve damage, and a range of debilitating autoimmune and neurological disorders, leaving them in chronic pain, disabled, or unable to work.
Tragically, some families have lost loved ones, often suddenly and unexpectedly. Many bereaved families were left searching for answers, struggling to have the cause of death recognised, and navigating their grief with little support.
Beyond the physical and emotional toll, our members face financial hardship and systemic neglect. When speaking out about our experiences, we have been censored, ignored, and labelled as misinformation or disinformation. Instead of being heard, we have been silenced—our suffering dismissed because it is an uncomfortable truth about the Covid-19 vaccines. The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS), designed to support those affected, is outdated and unfit for purpose, failing to provide adequate recognition or compensation.
Despite these challenges, our members are united in the fight for justice. Their resilience fuels our campaign for urgent reform to the VDPS, better medical acknowledgment of vaccine injuries, and proper support for those living with the consequences.
We will not be ignored. Join us in demanding change.
The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) was created to provide financial support to those who have suffered serious harm from vaccines. However, for those affected by life-changing injuries and bereavement following the Covid-19 vaccine, this system has proven to be outdated, inadequate, and unfit for purpose. VIB UK is campaigning for urgent reform to ensure those impacted receive the recognition, support, and justice they deserve.
The VDPS was created in 1979 and has not been updated since 2007—that’s 18 years without review, despite major changes in medicine, vaccine policy, and the cost of living. It is an outdated scheme that no longer meets the needs of those it was designed to help.
We are demanding:
A modernised compensation scheme that reflects the realities of vaccine injury today.
An end to the 60% disability threshold, ensuring all affected individuals can access support.
A payment system that reflects long-term needs, not just a one-off sum that has remained unchanged for nearly two decades.
Faster processing times so that those in need are not left waiting years for recognition.
Better medical acknowledgment of vaccine injuries to ensure those affected are heard and supported.
Vaccine-injured and bereaved individuals should not have to fight to be recognised. They have sacrificed their health, livelihoods, and loved ones for the public good, and the government has a duty to provide proper compensation and support.
VIB UK will not stop until meaningful reform is achieved. Join us in demanding change.
Our lives have been shattered by the devastating effects of vaccine injuries and the heartbreaking loss of our loved ones. The physical and emotional toll is immeasurable, as we try to make sense of the suffering that has been thrust upon us without warning.
Instead of being allowed the space to grieve and heal in peace, we are forced to divert our energy into campaigns and battles just to be heard. The fight for recognition and justice feels like an additional weight on already broken hearts, stealing away the time and attention that should be dedicated to mourning and recovery. Every day spent advocating for change is another day we are robbed of the chance to heal from the pain, both physical and emotional, that we carry.
