Aumann’s death is not counted among those six cases although her family alerted the CDC April 1 through the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System. One reason the government pauses the distribution of a drug is to learn whether others also have suffered the rare reaction.
The CDC system says 1,170 total deaths have been reported after inoculation with the Moderna vaccine, in use since January; 1,050 with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, in use since December, and 54 with the J&J drug, in use since early March.
“The end result is, it doesn’t change my outcome,” Bob Aumann said. “I have no proof that her death is related to any of the vaccine stuff. I don’t know. I’m sure all these companies are doing as much research as they can. I don’t think they were just randomly throwing a product out, but obviously, only time will tell what the negative impacts will be.”
