[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A claim has been raised that a man in his 60s died suddenly from cardiac arrest after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

On the 5th, a post titled "My father died of unexplained cardiac arrest after receiving the Moderna vaccine" was uploaded on the Blue House National Petition Board.

According to the petitioner, Mr. A, in his late 60s, initially refused vaccination because people around him knew there were many side effects from the vaccine. However, after seeing others around him complete their vaccinations, he received the first dose of Moderna around October last year and the second dose in November.

Mr. A continued his social activities until the day before his death and communicated with his family via KakaoTalk as usual. However, about a month after the second dose, he suddenly collapsed on the street due to cardiac arrest and died.

The petitioner said, "My father had no history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or underlying diseases, and he was not taking any medication," adding, "After checking the CCTV footage before he collapsed, we confirmed that he was living and breathing very normally, just as usual."

He continued, "Even 1 to 2 seconds before collapsing, he was using his phone well, and there was no sign of discomfort in his walking or anywhere else," adding, "According to the CCTV, he appeared to have already stopped breathing before the ambulance arrived," and "They said all possible tests were done in the emergency room while he was in cardiac arrest."

Mr. A underwent COVID-19 testing, chest X-rays, brain hemorrhage examinations, and about 40 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation but ultimately passed away.

The petitioner stated, "The attending physician's opinion was unexplained cardiac arrest. Since he had no underlying diseases and no reason was found for his sudden cardiac arrest, we received the answer of 'unexplained cardiac arrest'." He added that although they requested an autopsy, it was ultimately not performed because "even if an autopsy was done, it was judged that the causal relationship with the vaccine could not be clarified."

He lamented, "Many people have died after vaccination, and many have contracted dangerous diseases. Considering this, the risks of the vaccine must certainly exist, but I cannot understand why the media only enforces vaccination that caused the loss of my healthy father."

He also said, "I am not asking now to clarify the causal relationship between my father's death and the vaccine," and added, "I posted this hoping that the risks of the vaccine will be accurately informed and that measures to minimize problems will be created so that cases like my father's do not happen again."
