KENT, ENGLAND – A healthy 32-year-old man died 10 days after he had received the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Stephen Wright, a child psychologist, got the shot on Saturday, January 16th. He complained of pins and needle sensations in his arm shortly afterward. An ambulance was called in the early hours of January 26th as he was showing worrying signs of a possible stroke. He was taken to hospital where multiple scans revealed that there was significant bleeding in his brain, concluding he had suffered a cerebral venous stroke. His condition further deteriorated resulting in him having seizures during his scans at King’s College Hospital. Stephen’s death was confirmed later that day.

Charlotte, his widow, said:

It wasn’t until he woke up on January 25th that he was saying to me that he had a really strange feeling in his left arm and it felt like pins and needles. So I was saying, ‘shake it off, like move it around like you normally would’. It didn’t subside after 20 minutes at which point we started to become concerned and we called 111.
The paramedics turned up and they did a test asking him to close his eyes and to put his arm out in front of him. As he was doing this, his left hand moved up in front of his face and when he opened his eyes he was shocked that his hand was there. That was when they knew that he was having a stroke so they took him to hospital.

She continued:

I wasn’t allowed in the ambulance due to covid so we had a very quick chat and said goodbye to each other twice. We told each other that we loved each other, and I just sort of watched as he left and the ambulance drove off.
When he arrived at the hospital, he actually sent me a text. He said that he was about to have a scan. My next question to him was, ‘should I let your mom know?’ And his final text to me was ‘not yet’. So that was the last thing I ever heard from him.

Charlotte was interviewed by Anne Brees about her husband’s death:
