No Evidence AstraZeneca Vaccine Caused Death of Italian Music Teacher
The Claim
The death of an Italian music teacher hours after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine proves that the vaccine is dangerous.
Emerging story
On Saturday March 13, 2021, 57-year-old Sandro Tognatti, a music teacher, received the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine. That night, he became ill. On Sunday March 14th, 2021, he died.
On March 16, 2021, Italian authorities launched a manslaughter investigation into the death.
This news caused some news sources and people on social media to state that the AstraZeneca vaccine had killed Tognatti.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar’s investigation shows that an autopsy has concluded that there is no evidence that the coronavirus vaccine caused Tognatti’s death. Instead, the autopsy indicates that Tognatti died of an unrelated heart problem.
Additionally, our analysis reveals the aim of the manslaughter investigation into the death is to ensure that the vaccine was not the cause of death. It does not indicate that there is a high probability that the AstraZeneca vaccine caused the death.
On March 22, 2021, new trial data revealed that the AstraZeneca vaccine was safe and effective.
