A healthy 33-year-old man with a wife and one-year-old daughter died from the second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine known as BNT162b2 or “Comirnaty.” Just 48 hours after receiving his second dose at the end of August, Brandon Pollet became severely ill with a high fever, severe headaches, and a high number of blood clots reports the family’s GoFundMe profile. What appeared as severe autoimmune conditions only worsened by October 21, when Brandon was first admitted to the hospital: he remained there 9 days and returned home on November 2. Yet he remained very ill, as he was unable to lower consistently high body temperature and continuously battled weakness. He finally had to return to the hospital on December 12 undergoing treatment for Still’s Disease and adult-onset HLH disease. Treatments included chemo and steroid treatments as well as daily insulin and infusion of blood products. Huge bills piled up as can be imagined in the American health care system while his wife, Jessica, took FMLA leave to support her husband. As reported by local media, Brandon died on January 28th as physicians there in Louisiana acknowledged a direct relation to the second COVID-19 vaccine dose, reports the family and local media.
While the official stance of most of the medical establishment, from the National Institutes of Health to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration to the administrations of the largest health systems is that serious adverse events and death are rare given the sheer magnitude of the COVID-19 mass vaccination program: yet TrialSite suggests that rare still can equal a sizeable number of incidents.
According to the CDC’s VAERs website, reports of deaths post-vaccination are “rare,” yet in the VAERS database more deaths have been reported in 2021 than in the previous decade combined. Of course, this doesn’t prove that the vaccine was associated with the deaths, but the numbers are truly concerning, and more investigation needs to be done. TrialSite reviews CDC’s point of view on serious adverse events and deaths. In any other normal situation, the number of deaths reported in the CDC adverse event reporting system (VAERS) would have tripped the stop switch.
Serious Adverse Event TypeRelevant Data/CommentsAnaphylaxis, a severe type of allergic reaction5 people per one million vaccinatedThrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) after J&J vaccine—blood clots in large blood vessels and low platelets57 confirmed reports out of 18 million doses CDC identified 9 deaths that were the result of TTS following J&J vaccination. Women aged 30-49 face greater risk. Thus far 3 confirmed cases associated with ModernaGuillain-Barré Syndrome, Associated with J&J and involves the body’s immune system damaging nerve cells302 reports of GBS; risk after 21 days 21 times higher with J&J than Pfizer or Moderna. After 42 days the risk of GBS is 11 times higher with J&J.Myocarditis/Pericarditis, associated with mRNA vaccines (Pfizer & Moderna); inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) and inflammation of the outer lining of the heart (pericarditis).2,132 reports of both (preliminary) among people aged 30 and below. Note in Nordic countries Moderna was put on hold for people under 30 due to concerns. Through follow-up analysis of medical records 1,233 reports of myocarditis.Deaths11,657 deaths out of 535 million doses administered (0.0022%).
Again, based on what has been an unprecedented mass vaccination, the total number of deaths in VAERS according to this CDC website (11,657) would be considered rare. The CDC includes a statement denoting that just because they are reported doesn’t mean that such deaths relate to the vaccine. TrialSite reminds readers that the COVID-19 pandemic response mass vaccination was done under the protective umbrella of the PREP Act, a questionable FDA approval, and attempted mandates.

Pfizer secured an unprecedented $33 billion in year one pandemic monetization effort. Despite the benefits of vaccination (the vaccine does reduce the probability of hospitalization and death and over 850,000 people have died during the pandemic) principles of consent, biomedical ethics, and scientific transparency, not to mention patient-centricity drive this media platform and social network to continue reporting on the world of clinical research with a critical eye-raising pressing concerns, information, and insight.
A growing number of researchers, physicians, and health care professionals carefully and quietly express concerns about the vaccines. TrialSite has directly raised concerns ranging from leaked biodistribution and regulatory documents to Sonia Elijah’s piece thanks to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) release back in August of 2021 opening access to vaccine documentation the company relied upon to approved the vaccine for individuals aged 16 and above. More currently the battle to access the regulatory filing documentation continues. The company and FDA sought to delay the entire release for 55 years! Concerns raised are most often summarily dismissed by much of the medical community and of course targeted for what appears to be biased, non-objective so-called fact-checkers. TrialSite suggests that formal investigations are necessary to ensure trust in public health and industry.
Makes the Local News
The family lived in St. Charles Parish (New Orleans area) prior to moving to Ponchatoula to the north, reports Monique Roth writing for the local Herald Guide. Brandon’s wife Jessica was quoted by Ms. Roth’s piece reporting after the last dose “He was worked up for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, or HLH, but it was ruled out and he was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called Still’s Disease,” Jessica said. “After discharge, Brandon went home for about a month and was then re-hospitalized Dec. 14.”
She continued, “He received the HLH protocol treatment, which included chemotherapy,” she said last week. “Unfortunately, none of the usual treatments have worked. The doctors have agreed that the COVID vaccine caused an immune response that led to the development of the autoimmune disease and HLH.”
Brandon worked at a nearby Shell Oil plant where he was a mechanic, and his wife reports co-workers have been wonderfully supportive to the family along with the community in St. Charles Parish.
