The South Florida doctor who died after the vaccine died of natural causes

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A Miami Beach doctor who died about two weeks after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine died in a way that was listed as natural.

An official in the coroner’s office said that Dr. Gregory Michael died of a condition that could cause internal bleeding and there is no medical certainty that the shooting caused the disorder.

Michael’s death in January was investigated by the Florida Department of Health and the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Evidence from an autopsy was sent to the CDC.

The investigation team concluded that the 56-year-old died of complications of immune thrombocytopenia, also known as ITP.

A Facebook post by Michael’s wife, shortly after he died, described him as “very healthy”.

His website states that he was in a private obstetrics and gynecology practice at Mount Sinai Medical Center and received the vaccine at the hospital where he was affiliated on December 18.

According to his website, he was an avid tour and big game fisherman and also a certified lifeboat diver.

His wife said that three days after receiving the shot, Michael noticed severely broken blood vessels in his legs and hands, prompting him to go to the emergency room.

There, he was diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia, which prevents blood from clotting.

According to his wife’s Facebook post, after two weeks of treatment, Michael had a hemorrhagic stroke caused by a lack of platelets, which took his life in a few minutes.

She said her husband is a vaccine lawyer.

A spokesman for Mount Sinai, citing patient privacy restrictions, said in a statement at the time:

“To the extent that we are aware of an incident involving any patient, the appropriate agencies are contacted immediately and have our full cooperation.”
