DETROIT, MI – A healthy 13-year-old boy has died just three days after getting his second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination, The Detroit News reports.
After hearing of the boy’s death, who according to his aunt had no known underlying conditions, the CDC took control of the investigation from the Saginaw County medical examiner’s office.
“CDC is aware of a 13-year-old boy in Michigan who died after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination,” CDC spokeswoman Jade Fulce replied to the media in an email. “This case is currently under investigation and until the investigation is complete, it is premature to assign a specific cause of death. “When a serious adverse event, like death, is reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) after COVID-19 vaccination, CDC requests and reviews all medical records associated with the case, including death certificates, and autopsy reports. While some reported adverse events may be caused by vaccination, others are not and may have occurred coincidentally.”
13-year-old Jacob Clynick of Zilwaukee died in his sleep two days after receiving his second dose of vaccine.
On June 15th, he said he had a stomach. He went to bed and never woke up. Family members said Jacob had not known serious health conditions prior to his death.
One month later, neither the CDC nor local health officials have provided an update to the investigation.
