Unfortunately, a COVID-19 vaccine now is associated with the death of a 96-year-old UK resident. Peter Jackson of Melton Mowbray, northeast of Leicester, got vaccinated at an immunization center in his town on December 21, 2020, becoming one of the first people in the UK to get vaccinated with the Pfizer mRNA-based vaccine called BNT162b2. Yet just 35 minutes later, he collapsed and died in the clinic’s parking lot. Why was the final report on his death delivered nearly a year-and-a-half later?

While attempts were made to resuscitate Mr. Jackson, the Rutland and North Leicestershire Coroner Office reports he was taken via ambulance to a Glenfield Hospital, where Jackson was confirmed deceased from what is now confirmed as anaphylaxis, a dangerous yet rare side effect of COVID-19 vaccination. Secondary causes of death were ischemic heart disease and old age, according to a form hearing that just occurred on April 13, 2022, at Leicester Town Hall.

Of course, this news doesn’t come by way of mainstream media such as BBC but rather the local Leicester Mercury.

Downplaying the prominence of the death, the local Coroner, Prof. Catherine Mason shared with the local Melton Times that this type of incident is not only very rare but that she had never seen anything similar. She suggested Jackson had no apparent contraindications suggesting an allergic reaction was likely. Yet TrialSite notes that the elderly were not included in original studies, although they were deemed highest at risk for serious SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus behind COVID-19.

Pfizer Comments

Pfizer went on the record with a statement, declaring, “Anaphylaxis is a rare side effect associated with virtually all injectable vaccines.” The American pharmaceutical company has projects north of $50 billion in pandemic-driven sales declared “appropriate warnings were at all times included in the product information available to healthcare professionals and patients in relation to the vaccine.”

They further declared, “The content of these warnings changed over time consistent with developing knowledge regarding the vaccine.” At this time, the vaccine was under emergency authorization in America. In the following year, mandates ensued, essentially forcing people to get the vaccine or lose their work, access to basic ability to enter restaurants, gyms, and other businesses, and even travel to some countries.

Summary

That an investigation and final resolution took over a year is, frankly, shocking. With vaccination being a possible cause, deaths should prompt a competent and expeditious investigation. Why was the final report done 16 months after the incident?

Mr. Jackson spent 23 years working at a pet food store and led an active life up until his death. Still driving at 96, he went on a few trips to Australia when he lost his wife to see his older brother Harry in New South Wales. He made five trips to Australia by himself after turning 90, reports the Melton Times.
