Since there is a disclaimer in the manual, meaning that the public has been duly informed of the possible side effects, those who receive the vaccine will not be able to sue the state-owned pharmaceutical firm.
Some of the side effects that were listed by Taiwan News include loss of taste, loss of vision, high blood pressure, urinary incontinence, and even delayed menstruation.
Based on the report, Tao said that the number of adverse reactions is "absolutely unprecedented."
