[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A story has emerged about a man in his 60s who received the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine and then a Moderna booster shot, and died of cardiac arrest 23 days later.

On the 27th, a petition titled "Cardiac Arrest Death 23 Days After Moderna Vaccination" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board. The petitioner’s father, Mr. A (62), received the Janssen vaccine in April and then received a Moderna booster shot on the 26th of last month.

Twenty-three days after the Moderna vaccination, on the 18th, Mr. A died of cardiac arrest, and the doctor’s opinion was "cardiac arrest of unknown cause." According to the petitioner, Mr. A had no prior symptoms of myocardial infarction and continued social activities, including attending a Christmas party at work the day before.

The petitioner said, "I heard that even if the causal relationship with the vaccine is clarified by others, only 0.1% can be proven," and added, "My mother thought, 'If an autopsy is done, it would be like killing my father twice,' so no autopsy was performed."

He continued, "It is still hard to believe that the last thing my father did was warmly say to his grandson born in November, 'Grandpa is going out,' on a Saturday morning," and lamented, "My mother, who suddenly became a widow, still cannot accept the reality."

He also shared, "She was happy to receive the national pension for the first time starting December 24, and that image is still vivid in my mind," and revealed, "My mother is a housewife, and my father was working to support the family, but now my mother can only receive 60% of the survivor’s pension from the national pension, so life is very difficult."

The petitioner expressed, "I question whether we should continue with the Moderna vaccine, which puts strain on the heart, and I wonder if I will be able to get vaccinated in the future due to trauma from this," and concluded, "I hope you reconsider mandatory vaccination so that no other family’s father or company colleague has to go through what my father did."
