Rory Narin, a 26-year-old plumber from Dunedin, New Zealand, died suddenly on November 17 just 12 days after receiving his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
Narin reportedly had been experiencing myocarditis-like symptoms for 2 weeks before he died. He complained of his chest feeling weird the night he received the shot and having heart flutters in the days following.
According to reports, Rory died in the home he shared with his fiancée, Ashleigh Wilson. Ashleigh found him in the bathroom around 4 am.
His death led to Coroner, Sue Johnson, conducting an investigation to establish when and where Rory died and the cause and circumstances surrounding his death.
From Children’s Health Defense:
“The cause of [Nairn’s] death was myocarditis, due to vaccination with the ComirnatyTM Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine,” she said.
Johnson used evidence based on expert findings by pathologist Noelyn Hung, who said the direct cause of Nairn’s death was “acute myocarditis,” according to the NZ Herald.
“[Hung] saw that it was not caused by Rory having rheumatic fever or by infection as there was no sign of a bacteria, virus or fungi,” Johnson said.
“She also excluded all other known potential causes of myocarditis, for example, certain medicines such as the anti-psychotic medications clozapine and risperidone which can cause myocarditis.”
Johnson accepted Hung’s medical opinion that the myocarditis was caused by the vaccine, as there was an absence of any other cause after numerous tests.
But Johnson said the inquiry into Nairn’s death had “not yet concluded,” and she still had to determine whether it could have been prevented and if any recommendations were required.
The pharmacist who vaccinated Nairn told the inquiry that he had not been warned of the risk of myocarditis from the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
The Ministry of Health said it had issued warnings that outlined the risk of myocarditis as a rare side effect of the vaccine.
But the manager of the pharmacy where Nairn got vaccinated criticized the ministry for putting myocarditis information in small bullet points.
She said medical professionals had been informed about myocarditis, but she had missed the warning under the sheer volume of information received.
“As soon as we were notified, all practices were changed. It’s just unfortunate that Mr. Nairn had to pass away for that to happen,” she said.
From NZHerald:
A heartbroken Wilson told the Herald the pair were in the process of moving to their dream home and planning their wedding.
When he started having “heart palpitations regularly” – not long after having his Covid-19 vaccination – the couple put it down to “stress”.
Minutes after deciding to go to hospital to get checked out Nairn collapsed.
“I watched him die and I could not get to him,” said Wilson.
“We were about to leave for hospital, and he was in the toilet, and I heard a thud.”
“He had fallen, his body was blocking the door, his full weight was against it and I couldn’t get it open.”
“I could just see him through a crack in the door, I could see that he was gone.”
