A spokesperson for US-based pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer, which developed its COVID-19 vaccine alongside German firm BioNTech, said that "serious adverse events, including deaths that are unrelated to the vaccine, are unfortunately likely to occur at a similar rate as they would in the general population."
Dr. Gregory Michael, a 56-year-old OBGYN at Mountain Sinai Medical Center (MSMC) in Miami Beach, Florida, died on Monday after sustaining a hemorrhagic stroke due to insufficient blood platelets.
"He was vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine at MSMC on December 18, 3 days later he saw a strong set of petechiae on his feet and hands which made him seek attention at the emergency room at MSMC," the widow wrote in her Tuesday post.
"The [complete blood count] that was done at his arrival showed his platelet count to be 0 (A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.) [He] was admitted in the [intensive care unit] with a diagnosis of acute [Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura] caused by a reaction to the COVID vaccine."
