Bevan Costello, a 65-year-old Aboriginal Australian Wakka Wakka tribal elder in Australia, died six days after getting his second Covid vaccination in an event that was televised.
Costello had been persuaded by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) to promote the shot in his community by taking it himself.
Known as “Uncle Bevan” in the Wakka Wakka tribal community, Costello received his second Pfizer mRNA injection, on or around Sept. 9, during a televised event, according to the Australian ABC.
Of course, the media have avoided reporting on the details of Costello’s death.
Costello believed he was doing the right thing for his people by getting the second experimental Covid vaccine.
Costello had told the Australian ABC that many of his fellow Wakka Wakka tribe members were hesitant to receive the injections due to “misunderstanding of the information, mostly on social media.”
The Covid Blog noted: The Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council Facebook page made two announcements six hours apart about his death on Sept. 14 and 15 Queensland time. The first says it was a ‘sudden passing.’ The second describes it as a ‘sudden death.’ The two posts garnered a total of 339 comments and over 1,500 engagements as of writing, by far the two most popular on the channel since at least June.”
None of the posts mention that Costello received the Pfizer shots. Australian ABC reported that he died of a heart attack.
