A man in his 40s died on Jan. 17, 2021 in Nebraska 10 to 14 days after receiving the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The man, whose name has not been released to the public, lived in a long-term care facility and reportedly had several underlying health conditions. According to news reports, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) said that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicated it would investigate the case after “local health officials listed the COVID-19 vaccine as one of several causes of death.”1 2 3 4 5 6
It is unclear which one of the experimental COVID-19 vaccines, which are being distributed under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the man had been given. At the time of his death, only two vaccines had been granted EUAs by the FDA—Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine and Pfizer/BioNTech’s BNT162b2.6
Vaccine Listed as One of the Causes of Death on Death Certificate
In a press conference held on Feb. 12, Nebraska’s Governor Pete Ricketts confirmed the CDC’s plans to investigate the case and determine how the vaccine may have played a role in the man’s death.3 5 Gov. Ricketts said:
It’s not clear that this person died because of the vaccine. It was listed as one of the causes in the death certificate. That’s why we do the investigation. And the fact that it happened one to two weeks after the person received the vaccine means there was not a severe allergic reaction at the time the person received the vaccine.3 5
“Typically, COVID-19 vaccine deaths can be attributed to anaphylaxis and occur within a relatively short period after the vaccine is given, which is why monitoring is done,” said Gary Anthone, MD, chief medical officer for Nebraska. “While I cannot speculate on this case, when individuals die days or weeks after the vaccine has been administered, it is more likely due to other underlying factors.”1 2 3 5 6
Gov. Ricketts said that some information about the death would not be shared with the public in order to protect the privacy of the deceased, but that further details may be made available upon completion of the CDC investigation.2 3
This case has reportedly been entered into the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The FDA states that, “VAERS accepts reports of adverse events that may be associated with U.S. licensed vaccines from health care providers, manufacturers, and the public.” Jointly operated by the FDA and CDC, VAERS was created by Congress under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 in response to growing public concern about the safety of whole cell pertussis vaccine in DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) and other childhood vaccines.1 2 5 7 8

CDC Investigate???
Let’s just jump to the conclusion-
Cause of death-INCONCLUSIVE.
Well gosh darn golly gee…just like we will never know the true number of people killed by the fake pandemic of Covid-19, we will never know how many are killed by these poisons. The CDC is not in any way, shape or from in the truth telling business. It’s all deception to create fear. Truth has left the planet…and it ain’t coming back in your lifetime.
So if the reaction/death occurs immediately after it’s chalked up to an allergic reaction (not from the vaccine itself), and if death happens two weeks afterwards it’s not related because it’s been too long? Wow, just wow.
Why are people not being told not to take this Demonic shot,not vaccine,when they have underlining health conditions and immune deficiencies?
I guess the goal of the CDC and Big Pharma’s goal is to depopulate the world and rake in big cash at the expense of the brainwashed populace!!
I agree with all that is said above. It just breaks my heart to hear All of the stories……and we will, I am sure…….Never hear the truth……..just like with Children’s Vaccines. Everyone must make their own decisions I know, but the pressure is on, and people are very fearful, and I understand. However, I do know many people have relied on false claims on the internet & family members on taking things like Vit. D , Zinc, etc is going to prevent them from getting Covid. My neighbors followed that “protocol” and ended up with Covid……..big time, and a couple of their family member pasted away by following ……what I call “false info”. But this is just the many False Info Stories…….including from many High – Health Companies, etc. It’s a tuff call………but I wouldn’t touch this or any Vaccine. My background in Health…and Vaccines with my son…..I just know what I know. I could…………should’ve written a book. Now, I will just Pray for everyone who doesn’t know……..or can’t find the Truth on Vaccines.
So to sum up the 2021 cause of death protocol, death 14 days or more from time of vaccine is due to underlying causes. Please note that the protocol is different than the 2020 cause of death protocol whereby death within a month of testing positive for SARS-COV-2, even when the symptoms designated as COVID19 were never presented, the cause of death should be COVID19 regardless of other co-morbidities.
Right-o, and that makes perfect sense to everyone not designated as a conspiracy theorist?

The vaccine is a RISK to say the least and why do it if it does NOT prevent INFECTION and does NOT p revent transmission, and has over a ninety percent survival rate?! It does not make sense to risk your health like this, it seems a crime!
Obviously not an instant severe allergic reaction, just a long slow agonising one
