The committee report on the death of a person after the Covid vaccination states: “Vaccine reactions are expected reactions that, according to current scientific knowledge, can be traced back to a vaccination. Examples of such reactions are allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, etc. ”.

The committee assessed 31 deaths. While 18 were classified as “inconsistent causal association with vaccinations (accidental – not associated with vaccination)”, seven were classified as indeterminate and two cases as unclassifiable.
“Unclassifiable events are events that have been investigated but insufficient evidence to associate a diagnosis due to a lack of critical information ….. When that relevant information is available, the case can be re-examined for a causality assessment,” the report said of the AEFI committee said.
