His wife says a CAT scan revealed congestive heart failure, but other tests showed he had no valve issues or artery blockage. COVID-19 tests came back negative, and the breathing continued to get worse. Eventually, he was intubated.

He was then transferred to UCI Medical Center where she says his kidneys started failing.

Vaccine ruled out as cause of death in NorCal man who had COVID-19, officials say

PLACER COUNTY, Calif. - Authorities have determined that the coronavirus vaccine was not a contributing factor to a Northern California man's death at the beginning of the month, authorities said Saturday.

"Clinical examination and lab results have determined the COVID-19 vaccine has been ruled out as a contributing factor in the individual’s death," the Placer County Sheriff's Office wrote in a post on Facebook.

... Authorities say that the 64-year-old man was employed as a healthcare worker at a facility in Placer County. He began complaining of side effects within ten minutes of vaccination ...

The department said Saturday that throughout their investigation, they learned that not only had he recently been diagnosed with COVID-19, he also had underlying health issues, and had been exhibiting symptoms of the illness at the time the vaccine was administered.


... An investigation remains underway in Southern California after an Orange County health care worker died four days after receiving his second dose of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine. The coroner said that Tim Zook's cause of death is inconclusive for now, and further toxicology testing will take months.

Doesn't CDC recommend not vaccinating someone if they are ill with COVID?

Don't see how there are any facts here at all yet.

Fact check: Vaccine not linked to COVID-19 deaths in Gibraltar
By Reuters Staff

...
“The Gibraltar Health Authority can confirm that there is no evidence at all of any causal link between these six deaths and the inoculation with the Pfizer vaccine”, the press release said. “Statements to the contrary on social media are entirely untrue.”

According to the government, these six people appear to have caught COVID-19 before they were vaccinated.

“Despite testing for COVID-19 before vaccination, the infection had not been detected in them at the time they were vaccinated, but in the days immediately after.”

These people were all aged between 70 and 100, the government said.

Drene Keyes, 58, died after getting a first dose of the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine Saturday in the town of Warsaw. Keyes waited 15 minutes after the shot to be observed by health care providers on site, but soon after experienced vomiting and trouble breathing.

At least five Alaskans died and 111 suffered adverse reactions after COVID vaccines
By Joel Davidson
February 2, 2021

The five deaths reported in Alaska occurred after patients received the Pfizer vaccine. This included four men and one woman between the ages of 73 and 100. The deceased all had pre-existing medical conditions before getting the shot. In at least three instances the physician who entered the data did not believe the death was directly tied to the vaccine. Two other reports, however, did not rule out the vaccine as a possible cause of death.

Nationwide, VAERS lists 329 deaths in the wake of COVID vaccines. About 65% of these individuals were between 65 and 75 years old. Another 9,845 instances of adverse reactions are listed from all across the country.

Of the 111 adverse reactions in Alaska, 59 included anaphylactic reaction and 45 required emergency doctor/room visits. In most cases patients suffering adverse reactions experienced some combination of chest tightness, difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, swelling of lips, mouth and tongue, heart palpitations, severe dizziness, rashes and pain at the injection site.

A 29-year-old woman from Alaska endured severe high blood pressure and nausea, along with rash and hives on her arm and face after taking the Pfizer vaccine in December. Her reaction included head and body aches, chills and high fever. This happened within 20-30 minutes of taking the vaccine. She was admitted to the emergency room twice over two days with unresolved complications.

In another report a woman said she was breastfeeding her five-month-old son just four hours after receiving the vaccine. Two days later, while in daycare, the boy fell limp and was in and out of consciousness. He also suffered a body rash and was taken to the emergency department where he recovered that day and was released....

78-year-old woman dies at California vaccination site after being inoculated

"Her death does not appear to be related to the vaccine," said the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

The patient's family said she had a history of heart illness, said Dr. Michael E. Morris, director of Kaiser Permanente Southern California’s vaccination program, in a statement.


The woman "passed away unexpectedly" Friday after receiving Pfizer's version of the Covid-19 vaccine about noon at the Kaiser-run site at Cal Poly Pomona, 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, the doctor said.

"While seated in the observation area after the injection, the patient complained of feeling discomfort and while being evaluated by medical personnel, she lost consciousness," he said. "Paramedics on scene began CPR almost immediately and continued, but she ultimately could not be revived."

Her cause of death was yet to be determined, but the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said by email that there were no signs of allergic or anaphylactic reactions....

GLOUCESTER, Va. - It has been 18 days since Lisa Jones unexpectedly lost her mother, Drene Keyes, and she still has no answers as to how or why she died.
...
"She told me the full autopsy would not reveal anything that would associate the vaccine with her death," Jones went on to say.

State Health Commissioner Norman Oliver told News 3 in a statement Tuesday:

"No full autopsy was performed on Ms. Keyes because it was not necessary in order to determine whether her death was caused by anaphylaxis."

Oliver went on to say further questions needed to be directed to the Chief Medical Examiner, who has not returned our emails.

Jones told News 3 toxicology tests were performed on her mother, but there are no results as of yet. She also told us the Medical Examiner's Office did do something called a Tryptase test.

"Her tryptase levels did not indicate an allergic response," she said....
...
Jones feels more tests should have been performed before releasing her mother's body.

"I think there is a lot we don't know on how the vaccine works in people with underlying health conditions," she said...

Dozens in Central Florida contract COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated

So-called breakthrough cases pop up in Orlando area

Hanna Rewerts, 27, is a physical therapist and has been tested for COVID-19 at least once a week since the pandemic started.

She says she got her first positive test just days ago.

?I was shocked, you know,? Rewerts told News 6. ?Immediately I?m like, ?This has to be a false-positive. This can?t be right.??

But multiple tests confirmed it.

She said she was shocked because she is also fully vaccinated.

As a health care worker, Rewerts had her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine in December 2020, according to her vaccine card. Her second dose was three weeks later in January.

I would stay cautious with vulnerable people, even if vaccinated with any of the vaccines. WA state is having some possible trouble. They will be studying what strains/vaccines/batches might be involved and should have data by the end of the month.

Coronavirus: Five cases of myocarditis detected in France in people vaccinated with Pfizer

No link to the vaccine has yet been established

20 Minutes with AFP
Posted on 05/04/21 9:45 a.m. - Updated 05/04/21 at 10:28 am

During its weekly Covid vaccine monitoring update , the National Medicines Safety Agency (ANSM) indicated that five cases of myocarditis have been detected in France in people vaccinated with the Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer / BioNTech .

For the time being, no link between this inflammation of the heart muscle and the vaccine has been established. "The available data do not provide, at this stage, sufficient elements to conclude on a role of the vaccine, but nevertheless constitute a potential signal" of pharmacovigilance, which must be monitored, underlines the agency.

No questioning of the benefit / risk ratio of the vaccine

It was "the report of myocarditis in young men in Israel after a second dose of the Comirnaty vaccine" that led the regional pharmacovigilance centers (CRPV) and the ANSM monitoring committee "to analyze the relative data again. to cases of myocarditis and myopericarditis collected by CRPVs in France since the start of vaccination, ?she explains.

These adverse effects "will be the subject of specific monitoring and will be shared at European level" with the European Medicines Agency (EMA), adds the ANSM. They "do not call into question the favorable benefit / risk ratio" of the vaccine, she emphasizes.

Mostly "expected and not serious" effects

In total, since the start of vaccination with Pfizer / BioNTech, 16,030 cases of adverse effects have been analyzed, mostly ?expected and not serious? effects such as pain at the injection site or headaches, on "more than 13,660,000 injections carried out on April 22".

The ANSM already listed in February a "confirmed signal" concerning the Comirnaty vaccine: cases of increased blood pressure, immediately after vaccination or in a delayed manner, of short duration and of favorable evolution. Other side effects are ?potential signals? or are ?being watched?, including the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias, zonas and macrophage activation syndromes, a rare disease linked to inappropriate stimulation of these blood cells. immune system.

28 cases of thrombosis with AstraZeneca

For the AstraZeneca vaccine (Vaxzevria), reserved for people over 55 years of age, an additional case of atypical thrombosis has been reported, presenting a profile similar to that of the previous cases (median age 60 years, as many women as men ), and no deaths.

This brings the total of these atypical thromboses in France to 28, including eight deaths. 12,439 cases of adverse effects were analyzed for this vaccine, mostly flu-like syndromes, out of around 3.6 million doses injected in France on April 22.

This is not an adverse report but a "breakthrough" vaccine case.

After Fully-Vaccinated Father Dies of COVID-19, Family Hopes Story Raises Awareness
...

...

Alan Sporn, owner and president of Spornette International and an outgoing father of four who was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2019, had been taking added precautions throughout the coronavirus pandemic, despite not yet requiring treatment for his cancer.
...
But the 75-year-old hairbrush salesman was eager to get vaccinated as travel was his career and his life. He received his first shot of the Pfizer vaccine in January and his second in early February, his family said.

By March, he had decided to have dinner at a restaurant with some friends, one of whom tested positive for coronavirus in the days following the meal.

Sporn started experiencing a fever and his doctor urged him to go to the emergency room and get tested. There, he found out he was positive for coronavirus.

Doctors told Sporn's family that his lungs were clear and he was able to recover at home.
...
Three days later, Sporn was admitted to another hospital. By then, his lungs were "completely covered," his family said.
...
One week later, on March 29, Sporn died. The Cook County Medical Examiner's office listed his primary cause of death as pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus.
...
The Illinois Department of Public Health has so far reported 32 deaths due to COVID-19 or related complications in fully vaccinated individuals since Jan. 1, but further details on those cases aren't available. As of April 28, another 97 "breakthrough" vaccine cases - those who test positive for coronavirus at least two weeks after their final vaccine dose - had been hospitalized.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, citing data from a recent U.K. study, reports that "some blood cancer patients may not get optimal protection from the vaccines and may be more susceptible to COVID-19 infections after vaccination compared to the general public."

In that study from King?s College London, data showed that three weeks after one dose of the Pfizer vaccine, an antibody response was found in 39% of solid cancer patients and just 13% of people with blood cancer, compared to 95% in healthy individuals, the society reported.

The group urged blood cancer patients to continue wearing masks and taking preventative measures like social distancing and handwashing.
...
?As we see more national guidance allowing for unmasked gatherings among vaccinated people, clinicians should counsel their immunocompromised patients about the possibility that COVID-19 vaccines may not fully protect them against SARS-CoV-2,? the study's senior author Dr. Ghady Haidar, a transplant infectious diseases physician and assistant professor in the university's Department of Infectious Diseases, said in a statement. ?Our results show that the odds of the vaccine producing an antibody response in people with hematologic malignancies are the equivalent of a coin flip.?
