[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Amid reports that a 24-year-old elementary school teacher died three weeks after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine due to small intestine necrosis, a man in his 50s from Busan who received the Pfizer vaccine also exhibited the same symptoms and posted on the Blue House National Petition Board, pleading "My life is in danger" and expressing his grievance.

On the 7th, a post titled "Small intestine necrosis after Pfizer vaccine injection. My life is in danger" was uploaded on the Blue House National Petition Board.

The petitioner, A, who identified herself as the wife of the man, said, "On the 1st, my husband received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine at a local clinic. He had been undergoing peritoneal dialysis and had diabetes," adding, "Although I was anxious and worried, the doctor said it was okay, and the government also encouraged active participation and assured safety, so we trusted and got vaccinated."

A continued, "On the day of vaccination, he only felt weak but was otherwise fine. However, from the afternoon of the next day, the 2nd, my husband began experiencing abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. On the 3rd, he suffered severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody stools, fainted, and was admitted after receiving treatment at the nephrology department of his usual hospital," adding, "We insisted it was a side effect of the Pfizer vaccine, but we were completely ignored and dismissed. As his symptoms worsened, blood tests and an abdominal CT scan were performed, and at 6 a.m. on the 5th, the hospital called me, the guardian, to inform me that the small intestine was necrotic and decaying."

A said, "We trusted the government and got the COVID vaccine, but when side effects occurred, both the public health center and hospital denied, evaded, ignored, and dismissed it," expressing, "We are not test subjects, yet they actively encouraged and promoted vaccination. I feel so wronged, betrayed by the state, and frustrated."

Earlier, on the 28th of last month, a post was uploaded on the Blue House National Petition Board stating that an elementary school teacher working in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, was experiencing side effects such as small intestine necrosis after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. The petitioner, B, who identified himself as the teacher’s younger brother, posted a plea titled "24-year-old elementary school teacher struggling for life after first Pfizer dose. Please help my brother."

According to B, "My brother was encouraged to get vaccinated first because he was a teacher. He had underlying conditions including primary Raynaud’s phenomenon (vasospasm of the fingertips) and Kimura disease (an inflammatory condition near the ear)," adding, "However, he exercised diligently, rarely drank alcohol, did not smoke, and lived healthily enough that these conditions did not affect his daily life."

However, after receiving the first Pfizer dose, B’s brother complained of indigestion and abdominal pain, and later underwent surgery to remove half of his small intestine due to necrosis. After surgery, he was moved to a general ward but did not improve. He was then transferred to the intensive care unit for a second surgery but ultimately passed away at 10 p.m. on the 3rd.
