The family of a 23-year-old man who died five days after getting a Covid-19 vaccine have told the inquest into his death that all they want is the truth about how he died.
On the opening day of the inquest into the death of Roy Butler, from O'Reilly Road, Cork Road, Waterford, his mother Angela told Cork City Coroner Philip Comyn that her son "was perfect, and then he got his injection, and then he wasn't".
A talented soccer player, Roy Butler was described as a fit, healthy and sporty young man who attended the gym up to four times a week.
On 12 August 2021, he was vaccinated with the Johnson & Johnson Janssen Covid-19 vaccine. Four days later he suffered convulsions at home and was rushed to University Hospital Waterford.
