KUALA LUMPUR: Eight Malaysians, including a doctor, have sued Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the World Health Organisation (WHO) in a joint class action suit over allegations of adverse health complications and deaths following Covid-19 vaccination.
The plaintiffs, aged between 26 and 77, filed the writ of summons via Messrs Mohamad Zainuddin & Co on Oct 23.
Apart from Anwar and WHO, they named 23 other defendants.
The others are former prime ministers Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, the Health Ministry, the government, and WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The defendants also included Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad and his predecessors Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba and Khairy Jamaluddin; Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and his predecessor Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin; Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and her predecessor Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin; Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain and his predecessor Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani; Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Dr Zaliha Mustafa; and former Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
Permodalan Nasional Bhd, Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd, Parkson Corporation Sdn Bhd and the Public Utilities Board (Singapore) were named in their capacity as employers; while Pfizer Inc, Pfizer Malaysia and Sinovac Biotech Ltd were named as the manufacturers and suppliers of Covid-19 vaccines.
According to the statement of claim, some of the plaintiffs have suffered adverse effects following immunisation themselves while some lost loved ones purportedly due to health complications after receiving the vaccine.
Two of the plaintiffs were the children of their respective parents who passed away from health complications which they claimed were brought about from doses of Sinovac and a Pfizer booster shot.
Another plaintiff is a worker who allegedly suffered a stroke and speech impairment and now requires a cane to walk after abiding by the government directive to receive two doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
Another plaintiff was a female masseuse who claimed to be healthy before receiving her first dose of Pfizer.
She claimed to have suffered chronic vomiting, severe headaches and body pain with tremors after receiving the dose and is now confined to a wheelchair.
Three plaintiffs claimed discrimination over their refusal to comply with company policies involving vaccination and had to take unpaid leave or resign voluntarily.
The eight plaintiffs seek a court declaration that Covid-19 is a false pandemic and a man-made biological weapon created to resemble seasonal flu.
They are seeking a declaration that a live coronavirus has never been proven to exist by the Health Ministry and WHO because they purportedly failed to conduct isolation processes according to medical standards.
The plaintiffs also seek a declaration that the use of early and/or alternative and/or conventional treatments such as ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, favipiravir, corticosteroids, colchicine, and other similar drugs without taking the “fake poisonous experimental vaccine” should be allowed to treat Covid-19 victims.
The plaintiffs further seek a declaration and a writ of certiorari or prohibition for Anwar, the Health Ministry and the government to cease the injection of the “fake poisonous experimental vaccine”, and cancel all types and forms of programmes such as the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) immediately.
They are claiming RM60mil in damages, costs and other reliefs deemed fit by the court.
