'Healthy' South Florida doctor died 2 weeks after receiving COVID-19 vaccine - Take the Jab. It's Safe and Effective.

A 56-year-old doctor passed away this week two weeks after getting his first dose of a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr. Gregory Michael, a Miami-Beach obstetrician, was in good health, according to WPDE. Health officials from Florida and the Centers from Disease Control and Prevention are investigating whether the vaccine played a role in his death, which may be the country's first death linked to the vaccine.

Dr. Michael received his first dose of Pfizer's vaccine on Dec. 18 at Mount Sinai Medical Center, the Sun-Sentinel reported. Three days later, small spots began to appear on his feet and hands. He went to the emergency room at Mount Sinai, where he has worked in private practice for 15 years.

Michael's blood count was "far below normal ranges" and he was admitted into the ICU, according to the Sun-Sentinel. Just days before the last resort surgery, he suffered a stroke and died.

Oh shit, another one? I just heard about the South American doc that dropped dead.

Memology mentions that here, for those curious.

People die of simple old age younger these days. Oh well.

I blame global warming and the insurrection.

RIP.

"OK, the vaccine's out and totally won't cause any problems despite being rushed to hell and back! Let's open the economy back up again!"

"WAIT, NEVERMIND, THE VACCINE KILLS PEOPLE, LOCK IT DOWN AGAIN!"

We're gonna be on lockdown indefinitely, aren't we?

Depends on how much food and ammo you got, might have to get out of lockdown and loot the neighbour earlier if you didn't prep properly.

I finally told a family member that I wasn't taking the vaccine anytime soon, and the family member looked at me super suspiciously. Oh noes.

I frankly don't give a damn whether I am labeled as an anti-vaxxer or not at this point. If being pro-science means I need to have a super rushed vaccine that hasn't been given the PROPER amount of time for clinical trials injected in my arm, then I'll be happy to say I'm anti-science right now.

Enjoy your bells palsy, fellow millennials!

You and me both, I have no interest in being a guinea pig. Don't vaccines typically need a year or two worth of development first and then another year or two of testing before they are given to the public at large?

Yes. Yes times infinity.

If this vaccine were rolled out a year from now, then I'd definitely be less reluctant to take it.

It frankly does not shock me in the slightest that so many lemmings are excited to get this vaccine. The United States is an overmedicated country already. Big Pharma is laughing all the way to the fucking bank right now.

One of our area's surgeons wrote an op-ed in the local alternative weekly depicting his eagerness to get the vaccine. "i'll just take two Aleve for my sore arm." Yeah, good luck on that, dude. You can have my vaccination, too.

Bit of a powerlevel, but my mom buys into most of the COVID hysteria as a retired RN. I say most because even she doesn't want the vaccine right now. Still doesn't make up for how medical professionals have vastly overreacted to what amounts to the flu and somehow expect that a COVID vaccine would work better than the flu vaccines that they know are guesswork every year.

The vaccine is based on a novel technology (mRNA), and as a result it took mere hours to develop using a lab already set up for the general approach. That is the primary reason it arrived so quickly. More traditional vaccines are still being tested or developed at the pace you describe.

That novelty is reason to be cautious on its own. However, not every adverse event is caused by the vaccine. Administer anything to millions of people and some of them will coincidentally die in weird ways just because of statistics.

Nobody is stupid for mistrusting the FDA or drug companies. That is rather prudent. Still, vaccines are pretty safe. They give them to millions of people and only a handful get seriously ill. By the time ordinary healthy people are offered the jab, it will be very obvious if the new vaccines conform to that reassuring pattern.

So, the vaccine works?

The novelty is more important to the production of this vaccine than what it does in your body afaik. Usually, making vaccine (even something that has been around for decades) a long and drawn out process and this new method offers a much quicker mass production of vaccines. Its effectiveness and the dangers affiliated with it are negligible and comparable to that of other vaccines. That being said, there is always a very small risk of things going wrong or wonky statistics lead to some coincidental deaths, but people pretending like this is thalidomide are fearmongers of the silliest kinds.

Yes for population reduction, or really their trial of it. It cannot have been tested properly in the time. I'm no Guinea pig. If you have 'Pope' Francis saying to take it, that there is something wrong with those who won't, I think it a reasonable thing to avoid at present.

This could end up like the swine flu vax which killed a number, but also a lot of side effects. Modern woke Pfizer will hope the deaths are moderate enough to hide. I wonder this will pan out.

I'm in two minds about the vaccines. Our government has made a huge order for the AstraZeneca vaccine and the majority of Australians who get the vaccine will receive that one. I'd rather that type of vaccine than the mRNA one, but it's slightly better than a coin toss with 62% efficacy.

My mother is in a high-risk group age and health-wise and she's very worried about catching the virus, but she flat out refuses to have any vaccine for it. I still have no idea if I'll go through with getting one or not. There have been millions of people vaccinated already and a handful of adverse reactions, so I'd be curious to know how that compares to any other type of vaccine.

I assume it was for population reduction. If it was made to actually help people then they're failing horribly.

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

...can I just get the disease again every so often? It worked out fine for me the first time, so based on my priors I trust it more than the vaccine.
