I am sorry to hear about this. It seems like the pharmacist told you that there is pork and beef (which is meat) in the vaccine and then your mother-in-law still took the vaccine? I may, however, be misunderstanding your post. It is unlikely that the pharmacist actually "lied" to your mother-in-law. It is hard to tell based on the infraction you provided if there is a potential case here. It would depend on what kind of damages your mother-in-law suffered as a result of taking the vaccine. Was she hospitalized? If so, for how long? What do the medical records says if she was hospitalized? "Almost dying" is not enough information. However, if you want to pursue this, I recommend requesting her medical records from any healthcare providers or hospitals she went to regarding this and also collecting as much information as you can about the vaccine. Call some local attorneys who handle medical negligence cases in your area and see if you can get a consultation (most are free). They will be able to review the medical records and see if they think your mother-in-law has a case. Best of luck!
