Associated Press: Two weeks after receiving Pfizer vaccine, Florida physician dies

The number of deaths in the United States exceeded 4,000 in a single day on the 8th, and the cumulative number of deaths has reached 365,000. On the other hand, although the vaccine has been available for a month, only 5.9 million people in the United States have been vaccinated as of the 8th. Polls show that 30 percent of people still say they will not be vaccinated, indicating that many people are concerned about the side effects of vaccination. The San Jose courier reported on August 8 that a Florida physician had died two weeks after receiving the vaccine.

The deceased physician was given the Pfizer vaccine. Pfizer said in a statement on August 8 that they were aware of the death, but had no evidence that the death was related to the vaccine.

The physician who died was 56-year-old Michael (Dr. Gregory Michael). He was a gynecologist in Miami-Dade County (Dade Co.). The cause of death is still under investigation, county health department officials said.

The physician died 16 days after receiving a dose of the vaccine and said it is rare for a vaccinated person to have such a severe reaction,” a statement from Pfizer said. The patient’s blood could not clot and internal bleeding could not be stopped. To date, millions of people have been vaccinated, and we have been closely monitoring the reactions of those who have been injected,” the statement said.

CDC data show that of the 2.1 million Americans who were initially vaccinated, only 11 had severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).
