It's kind of fucked up what I'm about to write because it's putting a price tag on human lives but what ever: the EU was one of the few that openly discussed liability in case of unexpected vaccine consequences - which was one of the things that took longer to negotiate, not the price like many media outlets try to paint the EU has a "cheapstake" that put money in front of vaccines.
>“The contract foresees that liabilities and financial costs are shared among the parties,” the Belgian medicines agency said in a statement about the deal the Commission reached with AstraZeneca on behalf of all 27 EU states, including Belgium.[1]
Upon death the family will be compensated, if it was directly related to the vaccine. So treatment would make always financial sense, first because it's human life, second because it's partially covered by EU and AZ, lastly it's cheaper then death.

- disabled 6y agoThank you for this, and no, you’re fine. I do not know why others are downvoting you. You are not putting a price on human lives, and the EU did not either. It was about giving people more rights, not less. So, don’t worry. You really are awesome! I am culturally American, and I hold US|EU (Croatian) citizenship. I live in Croatia. Lately, Americans have been trashing the EU, but really, it is by far the best solution we have for countries that have failed empires. In Croatia, if you are not pro-EU, oftentimes you just want war, outright. Anyways, the EU has done a lot more collective good that what the member countries could have done by going it alone.
