USA TodayMorehouse released a statement to CBS Alabama affiliate CBS 42 on Jan. 25, saying the former athlete's death was unrelated to the COVID-19 vaccine. "Mr. Aaron was a public health advocate and worked with us to help bridge the health equity gap in Atlanta and around the world. His passing was not related to the vaccine, nor did he experience any side effects from the immunization. …”
Anaphylaxis is a severe and sudden allergic reaction that typically occurs within seconds to minutes of exposure, such as the COVID-19 vaccine. It is reasonable to conclude that Aaron’s death was not attributable to an allergic or anaphylactic reaction to the vaccine since it had been 17 days since it was administered.
However, this does not preclude the possibility of a vaccine causing or contributing to adverse events or deaths. Vaccine deaths generally result from aggravations of existing comorbidities. CKTK It’s extremely difficult to determine on an individual basis whether a vaccine contributed to death.
For example, a 2010 report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services concluded that fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported to VAERS.
