7 year old boy dies from mRNA vaccine in Brazil: peer reviewed study.
This was the first peer reviewed study, to my knowledge, to document the death of such a young child from the mRNA vaccines.

What doctors ought to know about this, is that this boy presented to the hospital without showing any obvious cardiac symptoms: he first had myalgia and fever 3 days after receiving the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The doctors asked the parents if he had been in contact with any sick people, and they denied it. After seven days he presented at the hospital again with monoarthritis (arthritis in only one joint) of the ankle –– they did a CT scan of the ankle and found nothing wrong, however blood tests showed leukocytosis — a high count of white blood cells indicating an inflammatory response. He was diagnosed with septic arthritis and discharged with some antibiotics.
After 10 days, he still had joint pain, after three weeks, he also had difficulty walking. They were still trying to treat the supposed septic arthritis and were giving him intravenous oxacillin. The joint pain improved but he developed gastrointestinal symptoms: vomiting with blood streaks and gastrointestinal pain.
His condition rapidly deteriorated upon diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Post-orotracheal intubation, active bleeding was observed from the tube, leading to an emergency department referral. Laboratory tests indicated leukocytosis, elevated C-reactive protein levels, and negative COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (Table 1), alongside right upper and lower lung lobe consolidations and ground-glass opacities on chest CT. Unfortunately, the patient died.
They autopsied the poor little guy: his internal organs had basically swollen, his heart, his brains, his lungs, because of multi-system inflammatory syndrome.
On autopsy, external examination showed anasarca and increased abdominal volume. The internal organs showed diffuse edema, including the brain, with pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavitary effusion. The heart exhibited a granular, opaque, whitish external surface, akin to fibrin deposits on the pericardium
Doctors should probably read this study, so that they are familiar with the possible side effects of the vaccines: the study says that this case “poses a diagnostic challenge due to overlapping risk factors, symptoms, and diverse histological findings, each with variable diagnostic specificity.”
This was the poor little guy’s heart:
I learned about this case from reading Dr. William Makes’; substack. William Makis also recounts the case of a 4 year old girl, Maisie, who died after taking the Pfizer vaccine: her symptoms at first seemed no worse than a common cold. She died two days later.
