Delayed Fatal Pulmonary Hemorrhage Following Covid-19 Vaccination: Case Report, Batch Analysis, And Proposed Autopsy Checklist

"Abstract

We present a healthy, 47-year-old Caucasian male that died unexpectedly from acute pulmonary hemorrhage 555 days after completing the BNT162b2 (Pfizer) COVID-19 vaccination primary series. Before death, he exhibited symptoms of a mild respiratory infection. Despite a healthy medical history and no medication use, the patient’s condition rapidly deteriorated and he experienced severe respiratory distress, followed by cardiopulmonary arrest with evidence of profuse pulmonary bleeding...

Discussion 

Because the autopsy failed to investigate the presence of COVID-19 vaccine-specific components, we conducted a thorough analysis of the specific COVID-19 vaccine batch administered to this individual using a digital resource known as "How Bad is My Batch?" This tool aggregates data from VAERS, methodically organizing it to present all adverse events associated with specific vaccine batches... The patient received two doses of a BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, which both belonged to the batch EW0175... Batch EW0175 is among the top 2.8% for number of reported deaths out of all Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine batches listed in VAERS (ranked 131 out of 4,730) ...

Primary pulmonary hemorrhage can occur after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) regulatory window of concern for a novel genetic product, such as the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, is 5-15 years. That means unusual serious adverse events such as fatal pulmonary hemorrhage should not only be reported to VAERS, but also be considered as being a consequence of the novel product even months to years after the last injection ...

Conclusion 

In conclusion, this man died of a cardiopulmonary arrest most likely as a result of acute pulmonary hemorrhage. The coronary artery disease was coincident but was not the primary cause of the cardiac arrest. Because the autopsy ruled out other possible causes of death and the received BNT162b2 vaccine batch is associated with fatal hematological, respiratory, and cardiovascular syndromes including cardiac arrest, prior COVID-19 vaccination is potentially either the direct cause or contributed to the causal pathway leading to death. COVID-19 vaccine-induced Spike protein may have caused acceleration of asymptomatic coronary atherosclerosis via direct vessel injury and inflammation. Our recommendation for a specialized autopsy approach can help improve the diagnosis of COVID-19 vaccine-induced pathologies in future cases."
