After people started receiving vaccinations for Covid-19, many side effects have gradually emerged, such as blood clots, myocarditis, and in more serious cases, deaths. In cases of death after vaccination, people usually hear experts say that the causes of death “have not been confirmed to be vaccine-related.”
AZ Vaccine Has Caused Rare Blood Clots
The loss of life is heartbreaking, so it is necessary to investigate the cause of death. However, the association between vaccines and deaths is a very sensitive and complex issue that involves many aspects. Therefore, prior to determining the association, it is important to identify the characteristics of people who become ill after vaccination.In one case of death reported by the German study, after receiving the first dose of the AZ vaccine, a 49-year-old previously healthy medical professional experienced fatigue, myalgia and headaches in the following several days. From day five onward, he had chills, fevers, nausea and abdominal pain. And on day 10, he became hospitalized, and his blood platelet count dropped to 1/6 of the lower limit of the normal count, and his blood became hypercoagulable. A CT scan revealed multiple thromboses in his veins and arteries, including a pulmonary embolism and thrombosis in cerebral veins, the infrarenal aorta and two iliac arteries. In the end, he died after an unsuccessful treatment.
In the Norwegian study, three deaths were reported. The patients were all females aged 37 to 54, and they all became hospitalized seven to 10 days after vaccination. Their platelets dropped to 1/5 to 1/7 of the lower limit of the normal count, and their blood vessels showed significant hypercoagulability, as well as cerebral vein thrombosis.

“A recombinant vaccine is a vaccine produced through recombinant DNA technology. This involves inserting the DNA encoding an antigen (such as a bacterial surface protein) that stimulates an immune response into bacterial or mammalian cells, expressing the antigen in these cells and then purifying it from them.”
3 Key Points to Determine Causality Between Deaths and Vaccines
So, how do we know that a death was caused by vaccination?To determine the causal relationship between a type of treatment and a death, at minimum, the three key points below must be analyzed:
In Taiwan’s first case, where a vaccine-induced death was compensated, the patient was a woman in her 50s. The timing of the onset of her blood clot after receiving the AZ vaccine coincided with the findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine. In addition, the immediate cause of her death was “thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome,” resulting in brain infarction, elevated cerebral pressure and subsequent death from cerebral hemorrhage. Furthermore, she was in good health prior to the AZ vaccination and had no history of disease or chronic illness and was not taking medications that could have caused her death.
AZ Vaccine’s Adenovirus Vector
Why does the AZ vaccine cause platelet drop and thrombosis?The AZ vaccine uses a modified chimpanzee adenovirus as a vector, which attracts platelet factor 4 (PF4), a protein in the human bloodstream, to induce a chain reaction that ultimately leads to thrombosis. In contrast, the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine uses a safer human adenovirus vector, Ad26.
The team used a technique called cryo-electron microscopy to take molecular-scale images of the adenovirus. They found that the surface of AZ vaccine’s adenovirus acted like a magnet, attracting PF4 to it (red dots on the left) and the binding is more frequent than the Ad26 used in the Janssen vaccine. Furthermore, the data confirmed that the AZ vaccine’s adenovirus surface is negatively charged, while PF4 is positively charged, and that the two can bind well due to the principle of positive and negative attraction.
Such a conjugate is tantamount to a trigger that pushes down the first domino—the body’s immune system mistakes PF4 for part of a foreign adenovirus and starts to generate antibodies against it, causing platelet depletion. Eventually, the antibodies and PF4 clump together, triggering thrombosis.
Pfizer Covid Vaccination Caused Myocardial Necrosis
Besides the AZ vaccine, there have also been reports of deaths related to other vaccines. In October 2021, the Journal of Korean Medicine reported a case, in which a 22-year-old male developed chest pain five days after his first dose of Pfizer mRNA vaccine (BNT) and then died seven hours later. His cardiac biopsy showed multiple areas of myocarditis and extensive necrosis (yellow arrows in Figure B and D).
The time between his vaccination and death was quite short, and he showed symptoms consistent with the characteristics of the Pfizer vaccine side effects, with no other confounding factors. Therefore, researchers determined that his death was related to the BNT vaccine.
In addition, according to the World Health Organization’s own report, 162 serious adverse events have been reported after the Covid-19 vaccine developed by China’s Sinovac Biotech was sold in Brazil and Indonesia, including fevers, respiratory distress, headaches, and 16 cases of death. This report does not provide detailed medical records, so it is impossible to determine the causal relationship between the vaccine and these adverse events.
Some deaths related to other vaccines have not been officially reported in professional medical journals, but that does not mean that they don’t exist. There are many reasons for the lack of published materials, as such reports would involve a variety of sensitive topics and many parties, including medical institutions, governments, and pharmaceutical companies.
