California resident who had COVID in December, dies within hours of being vaccinated

An individual in California who tested positive for COVID-19 in late December and was vaccinated Thursday died several hours after receiving the shot, the Placer County Sheriff's office announced Saturday. 

"There are multiple local, state, and federal agencies actively investigating this case; any reports surrounding the cause of death are premature, pending the outcome of the investigation," the sheriff's office said. 

It is unclear if the individual received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine. 

Apparently this story/headline is BS.

My wife is the fittest healthiest person I know, and she had a bad reaction to the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Knocked her out for a couple days with flu-like symptoms. But other much older, less healthy people we know were fine. Just weird how that works. 

Too bad that she was sick.  I’m glad it sounds like she’s doing better.  As I understand it @Jason is right.  Her response is actually a good sign that her body responded.

The person who created the tweet actually read the article, and they said the headline is misleading.

He went from telling us not to wear masks, to telling us to wear masks. Now he's saying we should wear 2 masks? Freakin' clown world.

Dr. Fauci: Double-masking makes ‘common sense’ and is likely more effective

He's constantly been wrong throughout this whole thing.  This guy is such a doofus.

The science behind it is not wearing two masks.  The science behind it, is if you wear a single layer mask, it will protect about 70% of the particulates.  Double layer mask about 80%.  Triple layer mask about 90%.  4 and 5 layer masks about 95%.  This isn't brand new science like he is touting.  I've linked a number of studies in the past, around the middle of the year.  Hell if that moron listened to science back then, maybe we wouldn't have been in this crapfest we are in now.

Production has kept up with demand, time to unload them while they can. In a year no one is going to be buying masks.

Duct tape over Fauci's mouth would prevent a lot of misinformation from escaping.

Fauci once joked about his ‘gov’t’ pay, here’s what he makes

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top disease expert in the U.S., is the highest-paid federal government employee in the U.S.—surpassing even the president—according to a Freedom of Information Act request by OpenTheBooks.com.

Fauci pulled in $417,608.00 in 2019—his largest haul ever—and in the previous two years earned $384,625.00. Forbes reported that from 2010 to 2019, Fauci, the head of the National Institute for Health, earned $3.6 million.

Fauci has been embraced by many in the media and Hollywood who portrayed him as a calming presence during a tumultuous Trump administration. But he also has his share of detractors who say he was inconsistent with his messaging at the beginning of the pandemic and see him as a career bureaucrat relishing in his newfound stardom.

$417K ? Holy crap.

[Taylor]

Meh, when MLB players make $30M per year, I'm not going to get upset by the salary of someone who saves lives.

[Adam]

But didn't he intentionally kill people by telling them not to wear masks?

[mtangelsfan]

Yeah, I am not going to give that guy credit for saving lives.  Mixed messaging for months and there would just be another mouthpiece if he wasn't around.  Giving him credit for saving lives would lead to giving Trump credit for the same

It evens out by him telling people that asymptomatic people were not contagious.

[Lhalo]

Isn't he the highest paid person in the Federal Government? 

[Jay]

I don't see Fauci as a guy who is saving lives, he's more of a PR person.
