A Canadian father is reportedly suing Pfizer following the death of his son, which he attributes to the company’s COVID-19 vaccine. A prominent anti-vaccine doctor claims to have determined the cause of death.
Vaccine opponents frequently, and without evidence, blame unexplained or sudden deaths on vaccines. The death of any person is tragic, and it’s up to health and legal authorities to determine whether an adverse side effect occurred after vaccination. Responding with empathy and acknowledging parents’ concerns about child vaccination is recommended. Informational materials may also emphasize that COVID-19 vaccines have been rigorously tested to ensure they are safe for all vaccinated individuals, including children, and that serious adverse reactions are extremely rare.
