Joseph Keating was only 26 years old when he died of myocarditis on Nov. 12, 2021, four days after receiving his third dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. Mr. Keating had no idea he was experiencing a “rare” heart problem from his vaccination.
Family members said Mr. Keating’s only warning signs were fatigue, muscle soreness, a sore throat, and an increased heart rate. He did not experience any hallmark signs of a heart problem, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or a fluttering heart that would warrant a trip to the emergency room.
According to his autopsy report (pdf) and death certificate, Mr. Keating died of severe heart damage from “myocarditis in the left ventricle” due to the “recent Pfizer COVID-19 booster vaccine.”
When the pathologist’s preliminary analysis of Mr. Keating’s heart appeared normal, he decided to take 22 different slides of tissue for further assessment and discovered vaccine inflammation had damaged and attacked his entire heart.
Mr. Keating’s sister Kaylee Koch, in correspondence with The Epoch Times, said her family contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), legislators, local news stations, their governor, and the local health department, yet have received no response.
According to the CDC’s website, the agency actively monitors reports of myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination, which includes “reviewing data and medical records and evaluating the relationship to COVID-19 vaccination.” The CDC also states they investigate reports to their Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) classified as “serious” by attempting to obtain medical records to better understand the event. Yet according to the family, the CDC never investigated Mr. Keating’s death or requested his medical records.
Mr. Keating’s family sent documentation, including the autopsy report, to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in hopes they could find answers and prevent the same fate from happening to others.
His sister said the NIAID disregarded his documentation and concluded Keating’s myocarditis and resulting death were not caused by the vaccine but also could not identify or attribute his death to any other cause.
