Assuming this doesn't get dismissed for any of the many procedural and technical reasons and actually goes to a negotiated settlement this is how it breaks out:
$35 million for the lawyers
the class gets unlimited free Covid vaccines for life
I was once in a class action lawsuit that was settled where the class got a $5 credit on their Sprint bills for 6 or 12 months of something. The problem, of course, is you had to be a Sprint customer, making that settlement some of the cheapest customer acquisition costs Sprint ever had.
There should really be a law that the lawyer's fees are paid via whatever means the class gets paid in. Somehow I don't see the lawyers accepting $1 million dollar statement credits for 12 months or a 100 million minutes of long distance (which used to be a thing kids, that's right, you paid more to talk to people outside your area).
