[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A story has emerged about a healthy father who died of a brain hemorrhage 22 days after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

On the 1st, a petition titled "My 28th birthday after receiving the Pfizer vaccine became the anniversary of my father’s death from a brain hemorrhage" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board.

The petitioner stated, "My father, born in 1963 and 58 years old, passed away 22 days after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine on September 7," adding, "After the first Pfizer dose on July 28, he only experienced a dull pain in his arm with no other adverse reactions, and after the second dose, he had no adverse reactions other than muscle pain in the arm, similar to the first dose."

He said, "On the day he passed away, my father went to work as usual with my mother, running their store for 30 years, handling sales and deliveries, and even prepared for deliveries the next day. When he said, ‘It’s getting close to quitting time, so you must be tired; go home and rest first,’ he went home alone. Two hours later, when my mother closed the store and entered the house, she found him collapsed. She immediately called 119, and although the rescue team arrived and performed CPR, he was pronounced dead," he explained.

He described his father as "so healthy that he rarely caught colds, stayed away from hospitals, and never complained of any pain or abnormality in his body," adding, "Even after a recent health checkup, there were no notable issues or underlying conditions." He further explained, "He did not drink or smoke at all, went hiking on his days off, and was so healthy that he could win in pull-up contests against his strong son."

Therefore, the petitioner said, "I cannot believe or accept that my father suddenly passed away, and I cannot help but have doubts about the vaccine. The cause of death on the autopsy report from the emergency room was listed as unknown, which only adds to my frustration."

He continued, "Because my father was so healthy, we proceeded with an autopsy to find out the exact cause of death, and the autopsy results revealed it was a subarachnoid hemorrhage."

The petitioner said, "With news flooding in about people collapsing from brain hemorrhages after vaccination, suspicion about vaccine side effects grew even stronger, and I never imagined that such a thing would happen to my father."

He added, "The sudden loss of my father without any time to prepare has left a huge void, and the remaining family members are engulfed in grief. I can’t shake off the sadness and guilt, thinking, ‘If he hadn’t been vaccinated, would his birthday have passed happily as always?’ especially since I personally made the vaccine reservation for him."

He appealed, "The government is encouraging vaccination through policies like vaccine incentives and vaccine passes, but it is avoiding providing accurate explanations about the side effects experienced after vaccination. I hope that to prevent any more unfair victims, the government will explain and acknowledge all causal relationships regarding vaccine side effects and take responsibility, not leaving it to individuals."
