People wait for inoculations at a Covid-19 vaccination center in Jung District, central Seoul, on Tuesday afternoon. As of Monday midnight, 51.2 percent of the country's population had received one vaccine shot. [NEWS1]
Deaths following vaccine jabs among people in their 20s continue to be reported in Korea, adding fresh concerns as inoculations for younger people start Thursday.
A 21-year-old female college student died one week after getting her first dose of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine in Gongju, South Chungcheong on Monday, according to police reports. She had no known underlying medical condition, her family said.
According to local police, the woman received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Aug. 16 and apparently had no particular side effects. According to her family, she studied until late at night with friends, and was captured on CCTV going to a convenience store at 2 a.m. on the day of her death.
She was found dead in her residence around 2:25 p.m. Monday by the house owner, who received a call from her parents saying she was not answering their phone calls.
She had purple spots on her body when she was found, and the family and the police requested an autopsy from the National Forensic Service to find the cause of death.
“My younger sister was preparing for the teacher certification exam so our family always worried about her health, and continuously contacted her every few hours and checked her condition after she got her vaccine,” a petitioner who claimed to be her sibling wrote in a petition on the Blue House website on Monday.
“There were no signs of worries or stress [in the posts] on her blog that indicated she was planning to take her own life,” the petitioner wrote. “Also, the testimonies of relatives and the family’s opinion agree that this is not a suicide case at all, and that she had been very healthy.”
Similar post-vaccination deaths of the young have been reported in the country.
A man in his late 20s died Sunday, 20 days after receiving a Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in Jeju.
The man received his first dose on Aug. 2. He complained of chest pain, a common post-vaccine symptom, and visited a hospital on Aug. 22 but died after symptoms worsened.
Working at an airport in Jeju, he was given priority status in the vaccination scheme and received the shot in early August, a health official at the Jeju Provincial Government told the Korea JoongAng Daily.
“He was known to have no underlying diseases,” the official said, yet he wondered whether a causal connection between the vaccine and his death will be acknowledged because of the 20 days that elapsed.
A healthy young mailman, who was 25-year-old, was found dead on Aug. 10, three days following his second Pfizer jab.
After getting the second dose of the vaccine, the man complained of muscle pain. His mother tried to wake him up for work around 5 a.m. on Aug. 10, but was dead.
An online user who claimed to be his sister posted a petition to the Blue House. She wrote, “My younger brother had a medical checkup in July around the time he got his first Pfizer shot, and except for slightly elevated levels of liver enzymes, [the results showed] he was very healthy.
“My family can’t help but raise suspicions that the vaccine is the cause of death, as he died three days after his second Pfizer shot," the petitioner added.
According to his family, a first autopsy failed to ascertain the cause of death, and they were told that further results will come out one to two months later through an investigation by the KDCA and the National Forensic Service.
Relatives of the deceased worry that the government will not acknowledge that the deaths were caused by Covid-19 vaccines.
Currently, Korea only acknowledges three types of symptoms as post-vaccination side effects: anaphylaxis, or severe allergic reaction; unusual blood clots with low blood platelets termed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or TTS, that can be caused by a viral vector vaccine like AstraZeneca or Janssen; and inflammation of the heart or its lining called myocarditis and pericarditis that can be reported after mRNA vaccines like Pfizer or Moderna.
As of Monday, the KDCA received 492 reports of fatalities after vaccinations — and only two cases have been officially acknowledged as vaccine-caused deaths.
Korea’s Covid-19 Vaccination Damage Investigation Team acknowledged a man in his 30s died due to TTS related to his AstraZeneca inoculation, and a Pfizer recipient in his 20s died due to myocarditis.
“My family is still waiting for additional results from the autopsy, but a lot of people are telling us that the government will say there was no causality,” the family of the mailman wrote. “If we cannot trust the government in this war-like situation, what and who can we rely on?”
Korea will start offering Covid-19 vaccinations to the general public aged 18 to 49 this Thursday, either Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccine depending on the vaccine supply schedule.
“We advise you not to feel pressured or scared by [vaccine side effects] as the benefits of Covid-19 vaccines outweigh the risks,” Cho Eun-hee, an official from the Covid-19 Vaccination Damage Investigation Team said Tuesday.
As concerns are growing among young people, experts say the government should clarify the exact cause of death and present the medical examination method for each side effect cases.
“For people in their 20s, side effects from vaccines mostly don’t lead to death,” said Dr. Chun Eun-mi, a professor of respiratory medicine at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital. “But the cause of deaths must be examined and announced to allay the public anxiety.”
“In a situation where the government is asking people to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Kim Woo-joo, a professor of infectious diseases at Korea University Guro Hospital, "individuals cannot check the safety of each vaccine. The government must inform the medical staff and the public of the safety information and how to receive treatment for any symptoms."
Experts advise heart patients or people with family histories of heart disease to get a checkup before getting the vaccine. People who develop chest pain, fever or shortness of breath within a week after vaccination should immediately visit a hospital.
Chun also recommended young people get tested for Covid-19 with a home testing kit on the day of getting their vaccines.
“As there are many Covid-19 patients, especially among young people who are often asymptomatic or have weak symptoms, many tend to think the side effects are from the vaccine, yet they are actually from the virus,” Chun said.
“Side effects could be worse in someone with Covid-19, with the vaccine immune response and the virus symptoms mixed together,” she explained. Using home testing kits could prevent such cases if people who test positive cancel their vaccinations.
There are quite a few person accounts of young people among the freeper experiences also (https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3988541/posts)
There a couple I have not been able to reach for permission to add their accounts to the thread, one whose 25 year old girlfriend is hospitalized after the shot for heart issues and another regarding a 19 year old athlete with neurological problems since the shot.
The idea of cost/benefit analysis has been completely absent from the COVID vaccine debate. That’s a problem. When it comes to motor vehicles, individuals and society have weighed the risks and judged the collateral death and damage worth the benefits. At the same time, individuals who don’t want to take the chance can opt out and take the train.
A healthy 20 year old has no personal benefit from the COVID jab. And society does not yet understand the risks of these shots on young people. Yet everyone is being pressured into taking the vaccines without weighing the risks.
Yes, everything has risks. But your comments indicate a dismissive attitude toward weighing those risks against the benefits.
The PTB refuse to discuss or even acknowledge “vaccine” induced deaths. They simply deny they have happened.
Have you encouraged your children, who are at near zero risk from the disease, to join in the grand experiment and get the jab?
You may be fully vaccinated, but you are clearly resistant to being fully informed.
Are you in favor of Vax mandates?
The link is rather horrifying. So sad.
Yes, everything has risks. But your comments indicate a dismissive attitude toward weighing those risks against the benefits.
Nope. Each individual has to make that conclusion. One shoe
doesn’t fit all. In this case the individual has a choice where
as in others he doesn’t as it is mandated by gov’t or employer,
spouse, etc.
I have no problem with people choosing not to take the shot and
I have no problem with those that choose to do so. However the
individuals choice is being taken away it seems as gov’t keeps
more involved.
Take care and have a nice day.
I’m in favor of Individuals choice. But in this country today
Individuals choice is being taken away in many areas. I
can understand a company/employer wanting people to
be vaccinated.
What they are pushing is not a vaccine. It is a foreign substance that does nothing more than offer the recipient false hope and very well could kill them in the process.
If it were an actual vaccine that would actually do what vaccines have traditionally done, I.e, provide immunity, then an employer requirement in some cases might make sense. But it doesn’t.
And for you to poo poo the idea that people are dying from the jab is to put your head in the sand. They are. Deal with it. Don’t dismiss it.
If people were dying after drinking apple juice, then the logical connection is that the apple juice is poison.
Have you demanded your children to get the vax?
Have you demanded your children to get the vax?
*************
Nope. It is their choice.
I have had both shots of the Pfizer “vaccine” & had no ill effects that seem to point to the vaccine. However, in consideration of what I am hearing about deaths apparently associated with it, I would certainly not recommend it to ANYONE. They have no business forcing this on anyone regardless of their age. The alternative would be to vaxx all Democrats first, then hide & watch for a period of time.
Speaking of crib death, I read many moons ago that one of the Down Under countries removed the requirement that all infant bedding — crib mattresses and such — be treated with fire-retardant chemicals. An unexpected result was that incidence of SIDS — crib death — plunged. Of course infant vaccinations are also a serious problem, for baby boys especially.
hide & watch for a period of time......
LOL.........
Sounds like a good plan.
If the school your young children were attending demanded that they be “fully vaccinated” for Covid, would you take them to get the jabs, even if they didn’t want to?
Children have no choice. They rely on their parents to make choices for them.
In the case of the Covid jab, do you know enough about it to make an informed decision on whether to force them to get the jab?
Your children may be adults now, but they were young and under your authority before. If they were 5 again, knowing what you know, or don’t know about these jabs, would you take them to CVS and have them “vaccinated” today?
Don’t know but that is far removed from my studies
at this time in my life. Every waking moment is a
choice of what to do.
Then maybe you should refrain from making snide comments on something you admittedly know nothing about.
Apology accepted.
“He complained of chest pain, a common post-vaccine symptom...”
The very fact that chest pain is considered a “common post-vaccine symptom” should be enough to make anyone with any medical knowledge stop and ask some serious questions.
“Chest pain” is not a minor symptom to be dismissed like a headache or rash, after all, but very often a sign of a very serious, life-threatening condition.
Well bless your little pea picking heart.
Now have a blessed day.
Were apple juice and beer mandated by their employers? Were they allowed to dine out and work in their career field if they didn’t drink beer or apple juice?
P.S. F*** both of you.
Noting to see here. The vaxholes see a minute blip in data that means nothing in the overall scheme of the pandemic. Hey, after all, what’s a few deaths here and there, as long as it ain’t us. Just live with it!
