Abstract
We present a case of a 47-year-old male who died unexpectedly from acute pulmonary hemorrhage 555 days after completing the BNT162b2 (Pfizer) COVID-19 vaccination primary series. Before death, he exhibited symptoms of a mild respiratory infection. Despite a healthy medical history and no medication use, the patient’s condition rapidly deteriorated and he experienced severe respiratory distress, followed by cardiopulmonary arrest with evidence of profuse pulmonary bleeding. Autopsy findings revealed massive lung congestion without embolism, normal heart size, moderate coronary atherosclerosis without myocardial infarction, and no evidence of other hemorrhagic events. The patient tested negative for COVID-19 and other respiratory pathogens at autopsy. Despite these findings, the medical examiner determined the cause of death was attributed to atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, without considering the recent pulmonary hemorrhage and unremarkable medical history. Investigation into the vaccine batch indicated a higher-than-average number of serious adverse events, including fatalities. The patient's BNT162b2 batch was among the top 2.8% for reported deaths. Moreover, the autopsy failed to investigate potential contributions from the vaccine, such as the presence of the Spike protein or related antibodies. The evidence suggests that the pulmonary hemorrhage, exacerbated by a viral infection, was the immediate cause of death, with the COVID-19 vaccine potentially playing a role in the development of cardiopulmonary pathology and hemorrhage. We propose autopsy protocols for COVID-19 vaccine recipients to better investigate vaccine-related pathologies among those with one or more prior injections.

Comment:
Hulscher and McCullough say "Analysis of batch EW0175 indicated the lethality of injection was 1.69%. Since he received two doses, his risk of death may have been 3.38%."
That's an injection "lethality" of 31 / 2,638,350 * 100 = 0.0012%
Not 1.69%, or 3.38%
In addition, Hulscher and McCullough state "Ten days before his death, on December 28th, 2022, there was a fire drill at work and the elevators where stopped, so he had to go up 10 flights of stairs after which he remarked to a colleague that he was out of breath."
It is entirely normal for a 47 year old to feel "out of breath" after climbing 10 flights of stairs.
"The medical examiner concluded that the patient died from atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease."
There is no evidence two vaccine doses over 18 months prior played any role in the death. The upper respiratory tract infection "about three days before the date of death" may well have.

This is an incorrect analysis.
Batch EW0175 yielded 2,638,350 doses

And 31 deaths were reported via VAERS without establishing causation.
