In a shocking incident, a Miami doctor Gregory Michael died after taking coronavirus vaccine shot. A few days ago, a shocking incident took place in Mexico. A female doctor suffered a stroke after being vaccinated against corona.Two weeks after getting a first dose of a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, a 56-year-old doctor Michael died this week. Health officials from Florida and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are probing if the vaccine had played a role in the death of Dr. Gregory Michael, a Miami-Beach obstetrician who, his family says, was in otherwise good health.

Michael received his first dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine on Dec. 18 at Mount Sinai Medical Center, according to a Facebook post from his wife, Heidi Neckelmann.

Three days later, small spots began to appear on his feet and hands and he went to the emergency room at Mount Sinai, where he has worked in private practice for 15 years, according to his personal website.

His blood count was far below normal ranges, according to Neckelmann, and he was admitted to the intensive care unit.

For two weeks, she said, doctors tried to raise Michael’s platelet count. “Experts from all over the country were involved in his care,” she wrote. “No matter what they did, the platelets count refused to go up.”

She wrote that Michael was “conscious and energetic” through the process. But just days before a last resort surgery, he suffered a stroke and died.
