A social media post claims without evidence the 10-year-old daughter of a Johnson & Johnson executive died suddenly after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
Debunking messaging may emphasize how vaccine opponents exploit tragic injuries and deaths to promote their anti-vaccine rhetoric, even over the objection of the victims’ families. As with previous cases, there is no evidence that the girl’s death was in any way related to vaccines or even that she was vaccinated. Her family says that she died from a seizure caused by a brain injury.
