[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] The story of a woman in her 40s who died three days after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine has come to light. The deceased's husband appealed, "The autopsy results showed that the cause of my wife's death was 'subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured cerebral aneurysm,' but the health authorities said there was no causal relationship with the vaccine."

On the 8th, a petition titled "My wife died three days after the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. This is unfair" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board.

The petitioner, who identified himself as the deceased's husband, stated, "My wife received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine at 2 p.m. on the 28th of last month and died around 2 a.m. on the 1st, three days later," adding, "At around 7:49 a.m. that day, I received a call from my son saying 'Mom is not waking up.' On my way home, I got a shocking call from 119 saying, 'Postmortem rigidity has already progressed to a degree that no further measures are necessary, so come home.'

He continued, "Meanwhile, my 13-year-old eldest son was performing CPR on his chest to save his mother, with tears in his eyes and sweat on his face, and called me," adding, "I had no thoughts, only regret, sadness, and worry about the kids. I was questioned by the police in that situation, but I don't clearly remember what I said."

The petitioner claimed, "While conducting the funeral, I informed the health center about the death after vaccination. However, throughout the funeral, no one from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency or the health center came to offer condolences or guidance on how to handle the cause of death, causing secondary pain to the family already suffering irreparable loss due to the vaccination."

He added, "There are many cases of vaccine side effects, deaths, and severe aftereffects where people, like my wife, have suffered cerebral vascular rupture, become vegetative, or are undergoing intensive treatment. Yet, the state does not acknowledge a causal relationship even when symptoms appear after vaccination, causing them suffering," and expressed, "I too feel unfair and resentful."

Finally, the petitioner said, "Instead of providing confidence that the vaccine is safe, numerous deaths carry the grievance of unacknowledged causal relationships," and requested, "Please prioritize the health and safety of the people and help prevent further unfortunate incidents like my family's, so that unfair and resentful cases do not occur."

As of 11 a.m. on the 9th, the petition had received 7,125 signatures.
