SPAIN, February 15, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) —Forty-six nursing home residents who had received their first dose of Pfizer-BioNTech’s fast-tracked vaccination against COVID-19 at the beginning of January had died by the end of the month, Spanish media have reported.

Staff first reported a coronavirus outbreak at Nuestra Señora del Rosario (Our Lady of the Rosary), a nursing home in the province of Cadiz, Andalusia in Spain on January 12, in the wake of a vaccine distribution campaign.

The Ministry of Housing and Families intervened in the private facility which houses up to 145 residents and where local media reported on February 4ththat a further 28 of 94 residents as well as 12 staff members had tested positive for COVID-19.

At another nursing home in the same southwestern Spanish province, in Novo Sancti Petri, in Chiclani, 22 elderly residents died and 103 were infected following a vaccination campaign.

Similar outbreaks and death clusters following vaccination have been reported across the globe, including:

• 29 elderly people died in Norway shortly after receiving Pfizer’s vaccination.

• 13 deaths among 40 residents following vaccination at one nursing home in Germany were dismissed as “tragic coincidence.”

• 10 deaths in a German palliative care patients within hours to four days of COVID-19 vaccination were deemed a “coincidence.”

• 22 of 72 residents of a nursing home in Basingstoke, England have died following vaccination.

• 24 seniors at a nursing home in Syracuse, NY were reported to have died from COVID-19 as of January 9, 2021 despite having been vaccinated beginning December 22, 2020.

• 10 cases of COVID-19 were reported on January 28 among seniors who had received both doses of Pfizer’s vaccine at one care home in Stockholm Sweden. The residents were vaccinated on December 27 and again on January 19.

• The COVID-19 death toll in the small British enclave of Gibraltar numbered 16 before it launched its Pfizer vaccination campaign on January 10, 2021 and then shot up to 53 deaths 10 days later and to 70 seven days after that. According to a Reuters report, the Gibraltar Health Authority declared there was “no evidence at all of any causal link” between 6 of the deaths that were investigated and the Pfizer’s vaccine, despite the individuals having tested negative for Covid-19 before vaccination, but positive “in the days immediately after.”

• 4,500 COVID-19 cases in Israel occurred in patients after they had received one dose of Pfizer’s vaccine and 375 of those vaccinated patients required hospitalization, Israeli news media reported on January 12.

• Seven adults living in a care home in Saskatoon tested positive for coronavirus a week after residents were vaccinated at the Sherbrooke Community Centre, the CBC reported. There were no positive cases at the time of vaccination.

• Seven residents at a Montreal long-term care facility tested positive for Covid-19 within 28 days of being vaccinated with Pfizer’s vaccine, prompting the province of Quebec to delay the second Pfizer dose.

• Abercorn Care Home in Scotland, which began COVID-19 vaccinations on December 14, 2020 was home to an outbreak of the virus by January 10 and the National Health Service for the region refused to comment on whether vaccinated residents were ill. A care home staff group founder told the Scottish Daily Record : “We have had members of our group whose parents have had the vaccine and then two weeks later have tested positive for coronavirus.”

• All of the residents at a home in Inverness, Scotland were vaccinated against COVID-19 early in January, but 17 became infected with the virus after the first dose.

  The UK Medical Freedom Alliance – a group of doctors, scientists, lawyers and other professionals who advocate for informed consent in the United Kingdom – published an urgent open letter to Nadhim Zahawi, Minister for COVID-19 Vaccine Deployment; Matt Hancock, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care; and two vaccine oversight agencies calling for an immediate audit of the deaths following vaccination in the U.K.

  The group refers to graphs showing a surge in care home deaths and cites data from the Office for National Statistics that residents’ deaths tripled in the two weeks between 8th and 22nd January 2021 at a time when there was a massive increase in the rate of vaccinations in care homes.

  Similar graphs for Israel, Ireland, Bahrain and Jordan show a similar correlation.

I am planning on flying in a few weeks and have been thinking of trying to get a vaccine. I could possibly qualify for a vaccine based on having asthma. I'd be hesitant if I'm offered a Pfizer vaccine. OTOH maybe I'll postpone the trip.

[DoughtyOne]

Y I K E S !

[deoetdoctrinae]

Just my two cents worth, but I would pass for now on the vaccine AND postpone the trip. Being in an airborne sardine can with who knows who for several hours doesn’t sound like something I would do right now. Good luck.

[patriot torch]

I can think of at least two that will try to convince all, that these vaccines had nothing to do with the deaths. That they were old anyway and it doesn’t matter that they died.

Of course they won’t be as blunt but their intent will be the same.

[GOP Poet]

Very sad. :(

If I still had a relative in a nursing home I would bribe a trusted care worker $1,000 to give her ivermectin twice a week (since relatives still aren’t permitted in here).

[RC one]

Let's say 100,000 people, for whatever reason, die after receiving the vaccine. That's 100,000 out of 175,000,000 doses administered globally. That's a 0.0057% mortality rate. That's way less than Covid, especially for this demographic group.

What has likely happened is these people caught Covid before they had developed adequate antibodies and the vaccine was too little too late. because of the process known as Thymic Involution, elderly people receive the least benefit from a vaccine. for this same reason, they are the most susceptible to "novel" pathogens. Before this is done, I'm sure we'll be hearing about thousands of cases like this.

[Flick Lives]

Back of the envelope math shows a fatality rate of about 25% in some of these cases. This would seem to be a problem.

[RC one]

They were old and didn’t develop antibodies fast enough. Elderly people don’t respond to vaccines as well as young people for the same reason they are more susceptible to novel pathogens than are young people-thymic involution.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Bill Gates promised this would happen and he said it was none of our business.

[Karliner]

Good Lord, so many elderly dying so fast. Cure is worse than the disease for them? Maybe just let them live out their days in peace and tranquility?

[jocon307]

Y I K E S !

Ditto that! WTH? 46 people? This seem a very poor outcome. Unless they were all so sick they probably shouldn’t even have been vaccinated, I don’t know what to make of this story!

My wife and I managed to get scheduled for a COVID-19 vaccine at Maryland’s first “mega-site”. Since the time between our 1st dose and 2nd dose appointments was three weeks we knew it was the Pfizer vaccine that was being given. We continues the online hustle to attempt to “score” appointments at one of the Maryland pharmacies to be given vaccines. Because of the ability of the Moderna vaccine to be stored at regular freezer temperatures, we knew that the pharmacies would be supplied with the Moderna vaccine. By relentless online checking we somehow managed to get pharmacy appointments for each of us. We then cancelled the Pfizer appointments after successfully getting appointments for Moderna shots.

For anyone having the choice, I’d recommend Moderna over Pfizer. If necessary we would have taken the Pfizer shots but only if in “beggars can’t be choosers” mode.

[RC one]

Back of the envelope math shows a fatality rate of 0.00057% out of the 175 million doses administered assuming there have been a thousand post vaccination deaths. That doesn’t really seem like a problem to me. Old people don’t benefit from vaccines as well as young people do. For the same reasons, they are more susceptible to novel pathogens like the novel coronavirus. It’s called immunosenescence secondary to thymic involution. There are going to more stories like this. Plenty more I’m sure.

[Jane Long]

Maybe even more than two will say this.

It’s a coincidence!

These (nursing home....fill in the blank) deaths happen, daily!!

Etc., etc.

[indthkr]

Vaccine Fail - bump for later.....

[petitfour]

So you’re saying the plan to vaccinate elderly first was foolish?????????

[Jane Long]

STILL no visitors in nursing homes???

Criminal what they’ve done to/with these defenseless elderly. No one to check up on them, advocate, etc.

Same with hospitals.

I heard a sad report, on OANN, tonight...about maternity patients....having to wear masks....while in LABOR, having to be separated from newborn, for two weeks, if mom tests positive...etc. Just horrid.

[Jane Long]

Hmmmm.....that’s precisely what Dr Simone Gold said, a few weeks ago....that our elderly are the LAST ones who should be receiving any of these experimental shots.

[metmom]

I know exactly who you mean , too.
