KUCHING: A medical expert who wishes to remain anonymous has advised the public not to jump to conclusions that are not based on facts after reading reports of apparent Covid-19 related deaths.

He said most sensational reports by ill-informed media heralds involved a miniscule amount of fact enshrouded under layers of malarkey.

“The public’s right to know must be balanced against the creation of mass hysteria caused by false narratives and inappropriate conclusions not based on fact,” he said.

While he noted that various headlines on apparent Covid-19 related deaths did indeed contain some truth in that the deaths had occurred, he said everything that followed appeared to create the illusion that the only common thread connecting the deaths was the Covid-19 vaccines.

“Reporting of adverse events that occur within a prescribed period after vaccination (varies according to jurisdiction) is mandatory worldwide. However, this raw data is never qualified by criteria that specifically establish the cause of the said adverse event.

“To coin an extreme example, if an individual who walked out of a clinic 45 minutes after receiving said vaccine — cleared of any allergic reaction by standard vaccine protocol — was shot to death by an assassin or for that matter hit and killed by a speeding bus, the law specifies that the death of that individual must be classified as a vaccine-related death,” he said.

He said the governing criteria for this reporting was not the cause of death but the fact that the person expired within a specific time schedule after receiving a vaccine.

He said even after an official autopsy or certification of death, which may be several hours or days after the event depending on the circumstances, this death would continue to be reported as a vaccine-related death, albeit with an annotation that the cause was unrelated to the vaccination.

“This overkill in reporting is designed to ensure that no cases may be inadvertently overlooked by observer reporting bias,” said the medical expert.

He pointed out that all previous such deaths worldwide had systematically been medically debunked from being caused by the various approved Covid-19 vaccines.

“It has been established that even the numerous deaths of elderly, debilitated nursing home patients in Norway were not vaccine-related in any way,” he said.

He stressed that part of the cautionary tale to accompany one’s daily social media intake must include the fact that a vaccination does not preclude any individual from getting infected or subsequently dying of Covid-19.

“Circumstances can arise whereby the patient was infected before receiving the vaccination or caught the infection before the patient’s immune system could generate the necessary immunity to prevent infection or fight the disease,” he said.

It was earlier reported that a diabetic man, aged 63, who received his first dose of the Sinovac vaccine in Hong Kong last Friday died two days later.

It was also reported that, thus far, it was uncertain whether the death of the man, who also suffered from bronchitis, was linked to the vaccine.
