An inquest into the death of a young man who died five days after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine has heard evidence from two senior safety officers at Johnson & Johnson who have been unable to provide a figure as to how many people have died worldwide as a result of receiving its jab.
Cork City Coroner's Court heard that Roy Butler, of O'Reilly Road in Waterford, died on 17 August 2021, five days after he got the Janssen jab.
Medics at Cork University Hospital (CUH) told the inquest yesterday that Roy, 23, suffered a "catastrophic intercranial bleed" having complained of feeling groggy and unwell prior to going into convulsions at his home.
He was taken by ambulance to Waterford University Hospital on 16 August 2021 and then onwards to CUH where he died the following day.
