Life Insurance Vs Covid Vaccination

[Iggle Piggle]

Can people read the small print in their Life Insurance policy to see if the company pay out in the event of death due to a vaccine side effect?
My company said 'no' because it is a clinical trail in testing phase.
Please, check!

it might apply if you're actually in a clinical trial, but not if you're just a member of the public having a vaccination. That's not a clinical trial.

[Iggle Piggle]

The Covid vaccinations have been released under emergency use authorisation. They are 'experimental' until 2023 hence the clinical trial.
I'll ask my company again in writing but until then, I would suggest checking anyway.

What all that small print really means :- "We will try every trick in the book to avoid paying out"

[Peter Pedant]

ask them which clause in the policy allows them not to pay out

"fooda clause that says we dont pay out yeah!" is NOT the right answer

[Peter Pedant]

// They are 'experimental' until 2023 //
nope
fooda insurance co say yeah den!

ask them which clause they would refuse to pay out

[woofgang]

This argument has been raging on another forum and one participant there has a porcine influenced username.

I don't believe that the 40 million odd people who have had the vaccine will be deemed to be taking part in a "clinical trial." The vaccine has been cleared for use by the relevant authorities and whether that was under emergency legislation or not makes no difference to that. I believe any insurers seeking to avoid a payout on that basis would receive very short shrift both from the Ombudsman and any court which had been asked to adjudicate.

Thanks for clarifying NJ.
Like I said, I will ask for my companies response in writing.

Thanks Wolfgang but that simply states they will pay out for Covid, not a side effect of the vaccination.
I have asked FCA and ABI for clarification and other life insurance firms, (most of whom do pay out for vaccine side effect).

[Iggle Piggle]

I wonder how long they will pay out?

This clearly states that the claims having the jag affects your life insurance cover are false.

That must include any side-effects.

IGGLEPIGGLE, how many folk have died from side-effects after taking the jag?
