Luiz Guilherme: Healthy 11-Year-Old Dies 3 Weeks After Receiving Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine, Officials Blame “COVID Infection”

 

A healthy 11-year-old boy from Brazil has died just three weeks after receiving his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, reports news outlet R7.  

Luiz Guilherme, a resident of Juiz de Fora, got his shot on January 21st and began to suffer from shortness of breath shortly afterward. 

According to his family, he had no underlying health issues. 18 days after his first shot, on February 8th, Luiz began to suffer from flu symptoms and was taken by his grandmother to a health center in Santa Cecília. At the health unit, he underwent a rapid COVID test and tested positive. Health workers prescribed medication for his flu symptoms and he was released. 

However, his level of fatigue was so high that he had to be carried home. Upon arriving home, Luiz rested and was found dead by his grandmother the next day. 

His death certificate states that he died as a result of a “coronavirus infection”. 

A family member said: “He had no comorbidities. He was extremely active and always played in the street. He hardly ever got the flu.”
