A healthy 24-year-old student from Lockwood, New York died shortly after developing myocarditis from his second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, reports Tara Lynch. George Watts Jr. experienced complications after his first dose, however, he chose to keep to himself and went on with his daily life.
Because George Jr. wanted to take his classes in person, he needed to
be fully vaccinated. The 24-year-old scheduled his vaccine appointment,
receiving his first shot of Pfizer in August and his second in
September. His parents said he chose that vaccine because it was fully
approved by the FDA.
After his first dose, he experienced
complications, which he chose to keep to himself. Blood was in his urine
after the first shot. He then received his second dose in
mid-September, where he experienced flu-like symptoms that did not
resolve. George Jr.’s father, George Watts Sr., explained:
“I noticed
he was starting to get puffy in the face like a sinus issue… He had a
cough and I decided to take him to the emergency room to see what was
going on.”
In October, they went to the emergency room, hoping for
answers. He complained of several symptoms, but none that were
cardiac-related. After a workup and a negative COVID-19 test, doctors
diagnosed George Jr. with a sinus infection and prescribed antibiotics.
The Watts family was told his infection should resolve in a week or two.
George
Jr. collapsed in his room on October 27th and was pronounced dead later
that morning. His dad described him as healthy, saying he had no
underlying medical conditions. An autopsy report from the Bradford
County Coroner’s Office shows George Jr. died from “COVID-19
vaccine-related myocarditis.”
Timothy Cahill Jr., Chief Deputy Coroner for Bradford County, said:
“Myocarditis
is how I ruled [his cause of death]. We are currently working on other
cases that are related to vaccine and booster-related issues within our
county.”
