There are over 1000 peer-reviewed papers in the preprint server system and or in the National Library of Medicine (PUBMED) describing side effects after mRNA or adenoviral DNA COVID-19 vaccination.  One of the most dreaded complications is vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT).  

Because the Spike protein produced in response to the vaccine genetic code causes hemagglutination and micro blood clotting, there is excessive antigenic presentation of platelets to the spleen and reticuloendothelial system.  As a result, the body produces auto-antibodies directed against a platelet receptor (PF4) which has homology with an endothelial protein.  This causes autoantibody “pinning” of platelets to the lining of blood vessel cells resulting in consumption of platelets, blood clotting and bleeding at the same time.

Unfortunate victims are fine for a few weeks after vaccination.  Then bleeding from the oral and nasal mucosa associated with bruising under the skin occurs commonly with serious blood clotting within the brain and elsewhere in the body.  Most patients are hospitalized in critical condition as doctors try a variety of medical and interventional maneuvers to combat simultaneous clotting and bleeding.

As you can imagine, in some individuals the process is overwhelming and no matter how much critical care support is given, the patient dies.[i]  The obituary of Mrs. Jessica Berg, age 37, a previously healthy vibrant mother is given in the figure.[ii]   It indicates she died as a result of VITT.
