The Utah chief forensic doctor urged the public not to jump to conclusions about the death of a 39-year-old woman four days after receiving the second dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. .
After receiving her second blow on February 1, Kassidi Kurill fell ill and was hospitalized. Four days later, the single mother died in mysterious circumstances.
But Dr. Erik Christensen, forensic chief of the Utah Department of Health, told Fox News that the second dose of the tragic mother and her death are only “temporarily related.”
“At this time we have no evidence that there are connections between vaccines and deaths,” he insisted. “We have no indication.”
Christensen said the side effects of inoculations need to be expected, but that the way people respond to the vaccine will be determined by their biology.
“Certainly, there are side effects of a vaccine that can be directly related to the vaccine and what’s going on in your body,” Christensen said. “You know, arm pain … fever-like symptoms related to your immune response to what was put on you. That kind of thing happens clearly.”
Kurill, who received the vaccine because of his work as a surgical technician, experienced arm pain after the first dose, but had no other side effects, his father Alfred Hawley told KUTV.
But things took a tragic turn after he received his second dose when he soon fell ill and ended up in a hospital, where doctors determined his liver was failing, Hawley said.
He died 30 hours later.
The Food and Drug Administration requires vaccination providers to report any deaths after COVID-19 blows to the vaccine’s adverse reporting system, which shows there are four reported deaths of Utah residents, according to Fox News .
One of the four coincides with Kurill’s age, while the other three were all 80, the media reported.
The Utah health department told Fox News that the forensic doctor’s office “will investigate any deaths in which the COVID-19 vaccine is mentioned on the death certificate.”
However, there is currently no evidence that the blow is dangerous.
“There is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines have caused any deaths in Utah. Reports of adverse reactions and death after vaccination do not necessarily mean that the vaccine caused the reaction or death,” he said.
“Reports of concern are verified and subjected to a scientific study. The CDC also keeps track of any death reports to request additional information and to find out what happened and to determine whether or not the death was a result of the vaccine. ”
Christensen said it’s worth investigating cases of post-vaccine deaths, but added that until we know all the results, it’s just “speculation.”
An autopsy was performed on Kurill’s body, but the state medical cabinet was unable to comment on the privacy laws.
