World champion decided to sell his collection after his wife was taken ill and needed major surgery following a covid booster vaccine
Nigel Mansell, the 1992 Formula One world champion, has raised more than £82,000 for charity after auctioning off a lifetime of memorabilia, including a signed replica helmet from his title-winning season and a Ferrari helmet given to him by Lewis Hamilton…
At the same time, Mansell’s wife, Roseanne, experienced health complications which they attributed to a covid vaccine booster, requiring major surgery. Mansell called the requirement to get a vaccine in this country “criminal”.
“It was a Covid tragedy; the booster, as with many people, caused problems with one of the heart valves,” Mansell told The Observer last week. “Unfortunately she had to have major surgery to try and fix it. Covid was criminal. Everyone should’ve been left to their own. All this vaccine caused a lot of people to have a lot of problems .”
