A coroner has determined that a “fit and healthy” doctor passed away as a result of “unintended consequences of vaccination” following a rare adverse event to the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine.
Dr. Stephen Wright, 32, of Sevenoaks, Kent, was among the first groups of persons to get the vaccination during the pandemic as an NHS clinical psychologist and frontline healthcare worker.
Ten days later, he passed away.
An inquest at London’s Southwark Coroner’s Court heard that a tiny number of patients, including Dr. Wright, had a serious response to the vaccination and that health officials are looking into it.
In addition to a brain bleed, Dr. Wright also had “vaccine-induced thrombosis” and a cerebral infarction.
He was brought to Princess Royal University Hospital in Orpington, then transferred to King’s College Hospital as his health quickly deteriorated since he couldn’t have surgery due to the severity of the bleed.
A “very unusual and deeply tragic case” was characterised by coroner Andrew Harris.
According to Mr. Harris, “it is very important to record as fact that it is the AstraZeneca vaccine – but that is different from blaming AstraZeneca” about the official records outlining Dr. Wright’s death.
“Dr. Wright was a fit and healthy man who received the AstraZeneca vaccination on January 16, 2021, awoke on January 25 with a headache, and later experienced left arm numbness,” he added.
“He attended an A&E department just after midnight where was found to have high blood pressure and a sagittal sinus thrombosis.
“He was transferred to King’s College Hospital at 6.39am but, due to the extent of the bleed and very low platelets, was unfit for surgery…”
Dr Wright’s widow Charlotte is considering taking legal action against AstraZeneca.
After the inquest, she said: “It was made clear that Stephen was fit and healthy and that his death was by vaccination of AstraZeneca.
“For us, it allows us to be able to continue our litigation against AstraZeneca.
“This is the written proof.”
