Orange County resident Tim Zook received the second dose of the COVID-19 jab Jan. 5 at the Santa Ana hospital where he worked. Zook was admitted to his workplace\u2019s emergency room hours after his vaccination. He was then transferred to a different hospital, where he died Jan. 9.<\/p>\n<p>The 60-year-old worked as a radiologic technician at Santa Ana\u2019s South Coast Global Medical Center. His wife Rochelle Zook said Tim was overweight and had suffered from hypertension since he was 19. He had been receiving treatment for the condition until his untimely death.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/tim-zook-covid-19-vaccine-death-can-the-kill-you-coronavirus\/10105246\/\">A staunch supporter<\/a> of vaccination, Tim posted his excitement about receiving his second dose of the Pfizer\/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on Facebook. But two and a half hours later, he started complaining of abdominal pain and breathing difficulty. Tim\u2019s colleagues had already escorted him to South Coast Global\u2019s emergency room.<\/p>\n<p>Rochelle said tests did not show congestive heart failure, artery blockage or valve issues. Even COVID-19 tests on Tim came back negative. \u201cIt was presenting as COVID but the test [kept] coming back negative. They tested him again: No congestive heart failure,\u201d she remarked. His breathing worsened nevertheless, which led to his intubation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just couldn\u2019t breathe on his own: He had stomach problems, he just wasn\u2019t feeling good,\u201d Tim\u2019s son Kyle Zook said. \u201cHe told doctors: \u2018Put me on the ventilator, I want to live.\u2019 Those were his last words,\u201d Kyle added.<\/p>\n<p>Tim was put into a medically induced coma on Jan. 7. A sudden blood pressure drop prompted his transfer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucihealth.org\/\"><em>UC Irvine Medical Center<\/em><\/a>, where he passed away two days later. Investigators are now examining if the vaccination had a role in Tim\u2019s demise. Meanwhile, the Zook family is awaiting a toxicology report to learn more about the cause of Tim\u2019s death.

She continued: \u201cWe don\u2019t know whether it was the vaccine or\u00a0\u2026 other underlying conditions that none of us knew about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite what happened to her husband, Rochelle said Tim \u201cbelieved firmly in vaccines\u201d and advocated that others get immunized too.\u201d She defended Tim\u2019s stance, saying: \u201cMy husband will be the first one to tell you that he would\u2019ve done this all over again. He would take the vaccine and would want all of us\u00a0\u2026 to do it.\u201d Kyle shared his parents\u2019 sentiments, urging people to get vaccinated. \u201cTake the vaccine, please. My dad would want people to get the vaccine. He doesn\u2019t want people to go through [COVID-19].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Zook family has no intention of attributing Tim\u2019s death to the Pfizer\/BioNTech COVID-19 jab for now.<\/p>\n<p>Rochelle said she is \u201cnot putting any blame on Pfizer or any pharmaceutical company,\u201d as she only wanted to know the truth. \u201cOnce we know what happened, if it\u2019s not the vaccine, then so be it. We need answers. If it is, then [further] research needs to be done,\u201d she commented.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Pfizer said it is reviewing the incident. It insisted that the BNT162b2 vaccine given to Tim was safe.<\/p>\n<p>The firm\u2019s spokeswoman Sharon Castillo <a href=\"https:\/\/ktla.com\/news\/local-news\/o-c-health-worker-who-died-after-getting-covid-19-vaccine-would-want-others-to-get-vaccinated-wife-says\/\">told Los Angeles news outlet <em>KTLA 5<\/em><\/a> in an email that they have been informed of what happened and are \u201cthoroughly reviewing the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Medical workers had been supportive of vaccines for the longest time now. This was until they saw first-hand the risks of getting the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. As a result, vaccine hesitancy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2020-12-30-hesitations-against-coronavirus-vaccination-widespread-medical-field.html\">has been high among medical workers<\/a>. Incidentally, some countries have reserved the initial doses of their COVID-19 vaccines for medical front-liners.<\/p>\n<p>But despite the risks, some health workers, such as Tennessee nurse Tiffany Dover have remained adamant about getting inoculated. The nurse manager at CHI Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2020-12-18-coronavirus-vaccine-nurse-loses-consciousness-live-tv.html\">was excited to receive<\/a> the COVID-19 jab alongside her colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>She did get the COVID-19 jab Dec. 17, but felt dizzy and fainted moments later. Dover regained consciousness and <a href=\"https:\/\/newschannel9.com\/news\/coronavirus\/first-frontline-workers-in-chattanooga-get-covid-19-vaccine-thursday\">told <em>News Channel 9<\/em><\/a> that she had a condition wherein she would faint whenever she felt pain.
