INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The federal government is investigating the death of a Florida man, Dr. Gregory Michael, who died after getting the Pfizer vaccine, according to a Facebook post by his wife, Heidi Neckelmann.
The 56-year old doctor’s cause of death was attributed to a rare side effect seen in a handful of people after getting this vaccination. It’s called thrombocytopenia and is characterized by excessive internal bleeding caused by low platelet counts. At this point, there are no reported findings to show a link between the death and the vaccine, but Pfizer is aware of the situation.
