[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] A 13-year-old daughter’s petition has been posted, claiming injustice after losing her healthy father due to side effects from the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

On the 26th, Miss A, who lives in Naju, Jeollanam-do, posted a petition titled "Please clear the injustice of my father who died after the first dose of the Moderna vaccine" on the Blue House National Petition Board.

Miss A, who identified herself as the deceased’s daughter, began by saying, "I am writing this petition for my father who passed away unjustly, leaving only me, my 10-year-old younger sister, and my 50-year-old mother behind."

According to health authorities on the 28th, Mr. B (50), an employee of a public corporation in Naju Innovation City and Miss A’s father, received his first dose of the Moderna vaccine at a hospital in Bitgaram-dong, Naju, around 10 a.m. on August 19.

Ten days later, starting on the 29th, Mr. B experienced severe itching at the injection site and took medication prescribed by the hospital for two days, which improved his symptoms. However, he then developed indigestion and vomiting. Despite purchasing and taking digestive medicine from a pharmacy, the vomiting did not stop.

From September 21, Mr. B’s eyes and skin began to turn yellow. Noticing this abnormality, his wife, Mrs. C, transferred him to the emergency room of a university hospital in Gwangju three days later, on the 22nd.

Since the exact cause was unclear, a second biopsy was performed, and Mr. B was diagnosed with "acute toxic hepatitis." According to Miss A, the hospital even recommended a liver transplant, and her father’s case was registered in the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency’s COVID-19 vaccine adverse reaction reporting system.

Mr. B’s condition worsened, and he was urgently transferred to a university hospital in Seoul on the 15th, where he was placed in the intensive care unit for treatment. Unfortunately, he passed away at 10:06 a.m. on the 16th, just one day after admission.

Miss A appealed, saying, "Two days before my father passed away, he told me to study hard and not to miss academy classes, so I held onto a glimmer of hope. But tragically, he left behind only my young sister and mother, leaving his loving family."

She added, "My father’s unjust death at the young age of 50 has brought misfortune to our family, and we may have to leave the place where we lived. Please properly investigate my father’s injustice and help prevent others from suffering the same fate."

Meanwhile, health authorities and the police conducted an autopsy on the deceased Mr. B on the 18th to verify any connection between the vaccine side effects and underlying conditions. Once the autopsy report is released soon, the bereaved family plans to take related legal steps against the government.
