A New Zealand man has died after the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine ‘probably’ caused a rare heart problem, authorities have revealed.
Rory James Nairn, 26, died in his Dunedin home on November 17, less than two weeks after taking his first dose on November 5.
A preliminary post mortem examination identified myocarditis, a rare inflammation of the heart muscle, as the likely cause of death and New Zealand’s Covid-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board said the issue was ‘probably’ brought on by the jab.
