Another young man died from the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, this time in Lockwood, New York. TrialSite just days ago reported that a 33-year-old man died recently in the New Orleans area. After vaccination with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, Brandon Pollet became severely ill with a high fever, severe headaches, and a high number of blood clots. He died shortly thereafter. Now 24-year old George Watts Jr. died after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. A college student, local news portrayed the young man as a “homebody” who loved video games and spending time with family. Full vaccination was a prerequisite for attending college. He received his first vaccine in August and his second in September. Watts opted for the Pfizer vaccine because it was fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Complications started right after the first dose, yet the young man kept this information to himself. But his parents did notice blood in their son’s urine after this dose. After the second dose, he experienced another rash of symptoms—this time flu-like conditions, which are typical for the vaccine. While symptoms persisted until October, George was rushed to the emergency room as symptoms seemed to worsen—yet none were cardiac-related at that point. He didn’t have any trace of COVID-19 infection and was diagnosed with a sinus infection and prescribed antibiotics. The parents were informed he should be better within a couple of weeks. However, the young man continued to feel ill and made another trip to the emergency room only to be told the sinus infection would simply take longer to heal. Come the end of October, the young man’s condition worsened, including pain in his hands, feet, and teeth. He started to cough up blood and became extremely sensitive to sunlight. His parents were planning on taking him to the emergency room yet again, but they never made it—on October 27, he collapsed in his room and was pronounced dead that late morning.
George was a healthy young man with no underlying health conditions according to his father George Watts Sr. The Chief Deputy Coroner for Bradford County, Kentucky Timothy Cahill Jr. reports to Channel 18 News that George Watts Jr. died from “COVID-19 vaccine-related myocarditis.”
A rare side effect of the COVID-19 mRNA-based vaccines (both Pfizer and Moderna), local news reports that these side effects usually show up within a few days after the vaccination.
Several studies show that young men are more likely to experience serious side effects from the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, including a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
TrialSite has reported that in much of Northern Europe, several countries have limited the use of the Moderna mRNA-based vaccine called Spikevax, halting the use of all young people under the age of 30. On Channel 18 News, Dr. Liviu Klein went on the record to share more information about myocarditis. Mostly an immune response impacting the heart muscle, it’s quite uncommon but occurs in the U.S. at about a rate of 10-20 per one million adults. The doctor shared that the incidence of cases associated with the COVID-19 vaccine equals about 50 per million doses administered. According to Klein, a COVID-infected person faces a higher probability at 120 per million.
When asked if he knows of other deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccine, Klein responded that he knows of no such deaths. Yet TrialSite has followed a handful of such deaths again one just the other day—they are very rare, but they do happen. Some critics point out that the rates are far higher but that is based on various formulas assuming deaths reported to CDC VAERS are undercounted. Over 11,000 deaths have been reported to the VAERS database in association with the COVID-19 vaccine, yet this doesn’t mean they are associated. TrialSite also reported four children in Vietnam died due to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Over 182 million doses have been administered and although it is tragic, these events appear to be very rare.
As TrialSite has reported, Pfizer and Moderna are shielded from any liability under the PREP act, even though the Pfizer vaccine is approved.
