‘Very healthy’ Miami obstetrician, 56, dies 16 days after receiving Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine

MIAMI BEACH, Florida, January 12, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A “very healthy” 56-year-old obstetrician has died 16 days after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

According to his widow, Heidi Neckelmann, Gregory Michael, MD, who practiced at Mount Sinai Medical Center (MSMC), was in good physical shape, active, and had no pre-existing conditions prior to receiving the vaccine on December 18, 2020.

Three days later, he noticed severe broken blood vessels on his feet and hands which prompted him to seek immediate medical attention at MSMC.

There, according to the DailyMail, he was diagnosed with ITP, also known as severe thrombocytopenia. Under this condition “the immune system mistakes platelets for foreign objects and instructs the spleen to destroy them,” and thus too, their function of helping the blood to clot in prevention of bleeding.

Though remaining in the hospital for ongoing attention, Michael died suddenly on Sunday, January 3, from “a hemorrhagic stroke caused by the lack of platelets,” Neckelmann lamented on her Facebook page.

“In my mind his death was 100 percent linked to the vaccine. There is no other explanation,” she said.

“He was in very good health. He didn’t smoke, he drank alcohol once in a while but only socially. He worked out, we had kayaks, he was a deep sea fisherman.”

According to News4JAX, the Florida’s Department of Health referred the case to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for investigation. A CDC spokesperson said “they will evaluate the situation as more information becomes available and provide timely updates on what is known and any necessary actions.”

Pfizer acknowledged they were aware of Michael’s “highly unusual” death and were investigating it further. Their spokesman added, however, “We don’t believe at this time that there is any direct connection to the vaccine.”

The death of Dr. Michael, a father of one, comes in the wake of many concerns regarding coronavirus vaccines, which have been rushed through the process of development, testing, approval, and now distribution, with a new “messenger RNA” technology, no industry-standard animal trials, nor any sufficient studies on long-term effects.

Indeed, in early December, a former vice president and Chief Scientist at Pfizer, Dr. Michael Yeadon, petitioned for the halting of all testing of coronavirus vaccine candidates in Europe due to the significant safety concerns of a growing number of renowned scientists.

These concerns included “allergic” and “potentially fatal reactions,” risks that these vaccines may cause infertility in women, result in an increased vulnerability to the virus, and present unacceptable dangers of long-term effects due to a lack of proper testing.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration also drew up a document this fall listing the possible side-effects from a COVID-19 vaccine, including strokes, encephalitis, auto-immune disease, birth defects, Kawasaki disease, and death.

Present reports reveal that hundreds of individuals injected with these vaccines have been admitted to the hospital while high rates of health care workers continue refusing to receive them.

According to his grieving widow, Dr. Gregory “was a pro vaccine advocate” and that is why he chose to receive the vaccine himself.

Ms. Neckelmann concluded her public Facebook announcement by saying that she believes “people should be aware that side effects can happen,” that the vaccine “is not good for everyone and in this case destroyed a beautiful life, a perfect family, and has affected so many people in the community.

“Do not let his death be in vain please save more lives by making this information news,” she said.

I don’t get any vaccines either. Haven’t had the flu since 1977. Come to think of it, that year was the one and only time I got the flu vaccine. Had a bad cold in 2009. Other than that, I rarely get sick. I’m soon to be 66 so I realize I’m pressing my luck, but I’ll take my chances thanks! :-)

you are the one making the claim; the burden of proof is on you...

Very healthy runners have collapsed and died, not to mention that everyone who eats carrots will die.

He is a healthy guy but hearing stuff like this makes me worried, he works in construction so he’s basically essential, he’s getting his 2nd dose now just hoping he will be fine. Many years ago my aunt had the flu vaccine(The stronger one) she went home and collapsed, she never got that more powerful dosage again she cant handle it

[mikey_hates_everything]

Just like those drug ads with all of the possible side effects, including death...I think I’ll just take my chances with the disease itself—that most people have to be tested for to see if they even have it.

Two doses 21 days apart.

Yep, I have heard about you vaccine sympathizers stomping around here on FR.

Hey STUPID, vaccines are an attack on the immune system. Vaccinations damage your cells. Virtually all vaccines wreak havoc on the human immune system. Vaccines are toxic mixtures loaded with various substances that never should be injected into a human body, including foreign proteins and dangerous viruses from chickens, guinea pigs, calves, and monkeys. Vaccines also contain toxic chemicals like mercury, ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, aluminum and antibiotics like Streptomycin.

Build up your immune system naturally with fruits and vegetables and exercise. DO NOT RELY ON VACCINES to save you.......That is PURE STUPID!!!

"Hey STUPID"

Not a great start, if I'm honest.

"vaccines are an attack on the immune system. Vaccinations damage your cells. Virtually all vaccines wreak havoc on the human immune system.

All nonsense really. Just kind of a mishmash of various anti-vaxxer talking points from the past 3 decades. Most of them aren't even claimed anymore. But let's just get real here about what the real impact is of vaccines:

If you think getting polio and smallpox and whooping cough are safer than the vaccines, then hey, by all means. Oh wait, you can't get those anymore, because of vaccines.

I’m 18 years older than you, and in perfect health. Eat right, maintain high-school weight of 119, exercise, take 8 nutritional supplements a day and have for the last 40 years. Our IDIOT governor closed the gyms, so hard to get enough exercise, but I bought weights and am launching a weight-lifting program to mimic what I did in the gym. My doc says I’ll live to be 100. I add a parenthetical (at least).

Stay strong, my FRiend. If you want a list of supplements that boost immunity, I’ll send them.

[jackibutterfly]

Why don’t they just release Hydroxychlorquine and be done with it, for Heaven’s sake!!!

Thank you Veto! I have never been as small as you - even when I was 15. I am jealous! LOL!

Unfortunately, I’m not in as good physical shape as you are. Way too much weight (don’t ask!), etc. However, I still work, climb ladders, lift boxes...as part of my job as a records manager. I do take supplements: Vit D3, zinc, olive leaf extract, CoQ10, turmeric and a few others. no OTC drugs. Any other recommendations would be appreciated. I have turned into my mother without the health problems. I think genetics has a lot to do with it. That’s my excuse anyway!
