Death of young, healthy Waterford man days after receiving covid vaccine 'baffling', inquest hears

Pathologist 'could not rule in or could not rule out' if Roy Butler’s death was linked to the Johnson & Johnson covid vaccine, which he received on August 12, 2021

Roy Butler repeatedly said he felt 'shook' and unwell after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The death of a young man who suffered a catastrophic brain bleed five days after receiving the covid vaccine was “baffling” and so extremely rare a pathologist had never seen it in some 20,000 autopsies.

Dr Margot Bolster was giving evidence at the inquest into the death of Roy Butler, a 23-year-old soccer player from Waterford, who had been fit and healthy before his sudden death in August 2021.
