Mistakes lead to Covid jab for clot victim Jack Last, UK 2023

Jack Last, a 27-year-old from Suffolk, died from a blood clot after receiving the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine in March 2021. An inquiry revealed that administrative errors led to him being vaccinated earlier than appropriate, as he had moved out of his parents' home and informed his GP of his new details in 2019. At the time of his vaccination, reports of the vaccine's link to blood clots were already emerging in Europe. Following the vaccination, Jack fell ill, but his condition was not recognized by the radiologist, who reported no abnormalities. A specialist scan performed the next day eventually identified the blood clot associated with the vaccine. Although his treatment was deemed appropriate and of high quality, Jack tragically passed away on April 20, 2021. The inquest in 2022 concluded that his death was directly linked to the adverse effects of the vaccine. Had he not been vaccinated early, he would have been part of a later cohort, which would have offered him alternative vaccines like Pfizer or Moderna, reducing the risk of such complications. The report highlighted systemic failures, human errors, and unfortunate timing as contributing factors to this tragedy. The medical director of the care board expressed deep regret for the incident, extending condolences to Jack's family, who described him as a vibrant individual with a passion for fitness and exploration.
