[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] A national petition has been posted claiming that a groom-to-be was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.


On the 27th, a petition titled "My fianc? was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia after Pfizer vaccination" was posted on the Blue House national petition board. As of 3 p.m. on the 28th, the petition had received support from over 10,000 people. The petitioner identified herself as a fianc?e in her 20s preparing to marry in November and claimed, "My fianc?, a man in his 30s working as a physical education teacher in Daegu, received the first Pfizer dose on July 28 and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on August 24."


The petitioner explained that her fianc? "received scaling treatment on August 6 and experienced bleeding that seemed difficult to stop, but we thought it was temporary bleeding." She added, "On August 12, he had a dental appointment in the morning, and in the evening, he got bruises on both legs while playing soccer. Before going to bed, his tonsils began to swell." She continued, "On August 13, he visited an otolaryngologist, received medication, and rested. In the evening, we noticed bruising below his knees on his legs."


The petitioner stated, "(My fianc?) received daily leg treatment at a Korean medicine clinic starting August 16," and "On Sunday, August 22, he received gum treatment at another dental clinic. However, after four hours, the bleeding did not stop, which seemed unusual, so we went to the emergency room at a university hospital." She added, "After arriving at the emergency room, he had a slight fever," and "a few hours later, test results suggested suspected blood cancer, and hospitalization was recommended. After several additional tests over a few days, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia."



The petitioner expressed her feelings, saying, "(My fianc?) was usually very healthy, so I could not believe the test results." She concluded the petition by saying, "I also trusted the government and the vaccine and completed the second dose. I hope that the government takes responsibility for the vaccine for its trusting citizens, proves the causal relationship with adverse reactions, and prevents any more unfair cases."
