The 12-year-old boy had suffered a heart attack "of unclear origin" just one day after being given the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine.
"Officials across the world have regularly stressed the benefits of getting the vaccine far outweigh the risk of side effects."
The benefit of this vaccine sadly did not outweigh the risk of side effects with this child.
Health officials say the origin of the boy's heart attack was 'unclear'. He died three days later. Read more about the tragedy.

Nothing says "safe and effective" better then hiding data:
I'm so sad for this boy and his family, I have a son the same age, and it's concerning, the vaccine roll out is still continuing for this age group.
My son changed schools he did not get the co vid vaccine previously, now tomorrow at his new school they are offering the vaccine.
I personally not do like this process of giving the vaccine in a school setting.
If parents wanted to get the vaccine for their child that's what the doctor is for, or a clinic or other healthcare setting.
It just feels like a massive push to vaccinate as many as possible.
It makes me uneasy.
I don't want him to have it, and come at me (some of you) if you want but I don't think I'll be taking him to school tomorrow.
I just don't want to risk it.
Yes it's easy to critique a parent for being concerned, or overly cautious, but I really think that a massive shift in attitudes has occured since this pandemic began. I see a lot more people starting to question the medical profession and government and their attitude of they'll tell us what's best for us.
No I think we'll make up our own minds thanks!
Also I believe that my son is a highly sensitive child and I think it's quite probable, he could have an adverse reaction.
People forget that everyone is different, some will be able to waltz through life, and be able to tolerate anything, but if your sensitive, or have a family history of asthma, psoriasis, hay fever, and diabetes like I do, is it not conceivable that giving a vaccine just might not be the right thing to do?
Also it's easy to be dismissive or downplay other people's fears, but tbh that to me is just a way of invalidating other people's understandable concerns?
It's like someone telling you it's all in your head!
Or not to worry, it'll be fine, it was for me etc it's a kind of I'm alright jack attitude, that's getting a bit grating to be honest...(I'm not talking about anyone in particular, it's just a general impression I get from some pro vaccine people).
Yeah it's fine, it's all fine...and mother's (who'd have em) seem to come in for particular fire.... hysterical clingy, controlling mother's/partners (yes they do exist I also have both!), but let's not make such sweeping generalisations for all mother's/women thanks!
It's difficult enough being a parent at the moment, and we are the ones who have a duty to care and protect our loved ones.
Kids are not daft, they feel who loves them, yes even if it feels too much at times, one day they'll ,most probably appreciate it, at least someone was looking out for them.
Why am I saying all this, because this efffing sneaky government wanted to find a way, to get around a parents consent, and invalidate their authority, and get kids to give consent (without permission from adults) from a young and immature and impressionable age.
That creeps me out, that makes me not to trust them, why by that logic why not make parents redundant all together....mmm?
Maybe the state can bring them up and provide for them, and decide how they live their lives, also why not create dissent as well between children and parents.. .you know those outmoded controlling things that have the audacity to actually care!
Parents are a threat though, aren't they?
How dare they stand in the way of progress via a vaccine programme, that young children absolutely Don't need, and could (very sadly) in the case above be potentially very harmful.
Also easy to dismiss the life long effects of having cardiac issues , if you've never experienced them yourself, well I have and it's no walk in the park let me tell you.
Constant appointments, monitoring, medication, surgeries and yes worry, oh it's easy to be shrug it off if you're fit and have never lived with a long term health condition, but in a sense your life is never your own.
Its a burden on a young person's shoulders, you get a sense of being different from your peers, you have to grow up quickly and before your time, you start over thinking about nearly every decision you make, just because of the effect it could have on your health, it's tiring it's laborious, it's difficult to be spontaneous, or care free, because you have to be your own carer!
Particularly if like me, you don't have very loving or protective parents, and to an already prematurely overloaded person is sometimes given more pressure, more responsibility.
I was asking myself the other day, about this and the realisation was that I never really had a childhood, not in a self pitying way, just feeling like I hadn't had much fun in life?
So that's the point to me, I don't know what caused my heart defect, but I can still feel for those who end up with heart issues because of the vaccine, because it robs them of their quality of life, even if it's not always fatal, your life and energy and joy are compromised.
Why can't kids just be left to be kids, why does the adult world have to be so intrusive, and no it's not always parents, but a society that uses parents as a scapegoat for all the ills in society, yes let's point the finger, and then those lovable politicians who only want (know) what is best for us, have very cleverly identified a problem (so we don't have to) and now they swoop down (bit like vultures imo) with a proposed solution...great
It just reminds me of the Karpman drama triangle (hope I've spelt that correctly)?
Victim, persecutor, rescuer....they are going to save us all from a deadly virus (rescuer) and we don't want to be potential victims right?
However if we don't comply with the suggested treatment of a vaccine we get veiled and real threats. . loss of jobs, not being able to travel, being kept in isolation, etc etc (persecutor)
Also roles shift according to whichever narrative they want to play ...so (peaceful protests) are dangerous gatherings full of dissenters, and troublemakers (this time they are portraying themselves as the innocent party) victim or threatened by the lawless mob!
Still the good law abiding citizens can save the day, by policing others thoughts, opinions and actions and then you know, saving the government the job of actually having to convince people, oh no that's just too much like hard work,no peer pressure of the disapproval or rejection from the group (or fear of) is sometimes enough
Yes the ones who do as they are told are rewarded, since when did obedience become such a civic virtue, although it's fine to do as the majority do it's in your best interest, but is it ?
The propoganda of fear during this pandemic has been enormous, so has the pearl clutching superior attitude of some others, who would frown on anyone for being different!
God help me, but is this the country I grew up in?
I don't recognise it anymore, or maybe I'm naive, I grew up in a tough corner of the north east, and people were not shy in standing up for themselves, nor afraid to be an individual,or push back when people had violated their sense of boundaries (something that this government and media are doing constantly imo)
Looking back it was the norm to question things, even refuse if you didn't believe in them, it was expected,? Also not having to justify yourself to anyone, only to yourself? People felt free to follow your their own paths,regarding making decisions affecting their families in privacy and without interference, and without having the worry that we have now, (or during the pandemic) about curtain twitching neighbors grassing us up?, Or without being verbally harassed for not wearing a mask, or have others muttering under their breath or moving away... because (stranger) danger it's another human being, whatever will I do..... panic...
God's sake this is not the bubonic plague, the social/mind/behavioural control is hugely excessive!
If that's what people bow down to, or think as normal then all I can say at this point is, you'll get the kind of governance that you deserve (allow) then?
Don't blame others then if you end up with zero rights for anything in the future then.
This crazy making rhetoric that vaccines should be taken to serve the state and save others is patently absurd and.a nasty form of gaslighting to boot.
This being the government (not that labour have been better) that have gradually made nearly all of us poorer less healthy and with less chances or choices in life, and really have eroded the general quality of life for many, while they themselves act as if it's party central and behave like pigs with their noses in a trough.... can't get enough of our fear our compliance, and make themselves richer and more powerful and yet more greedy at the same time.
Talk about blatant opportunism, yet I'm supposed to take these people at face value, suspend all disbelief and get my son injected, because they suggest it?
Well it's not the so called crazy tin foil hatters who are mad or dangerous imo, let's just put it that way!
Yes this is what will be dismissed as a rant by some, but I have strong feelings regarding the welfare and health of my kids (they have struggled enough as it is) sorry if that's inconvenient or annoying for some people, but as far as I'm concerned it's something worth expressing concerns about, yes even frustration, even making a long assed post, but I just want to say to other parents feeling under pressure right now, that I get it, I know where you are coming from, and it's from a place of love and care.
The government or the systems it represents cannot say the same.
