TRENTO, ITALY – A 24-year-old man has died 10 days after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Traian Calancea, a university student, got the shot on October 10th. He died on Wednesday, October 20th from a cerebral hemorrhage at his home.

His mother, Svetlana, who found him lifeless in the bathroom, is heartbroken by the sudden death of her son. No one understands how Traian, who was ‘very fit’ with no health issues, died from a cerebral hemorrhage just 10 days after the Pfizer vaccine. His best friend said:

“There are no words to describe what I feel. I can’t really realize what happened, why you? I will remember you with a smile, you deserve it. I loved you and I will always love you. Rest in peace.”

Traian first attended Leonardo Da Vinci scientific high school before going to university where he studied at the faculty of Economics and Commerce. Until Wednesday, he worked and studied at the same time.
