«He was admitted in the ICU with a diagnosis of acute ITP caused by a reaction to the COVID vaccine. A team of expert doctors tried for 2 weeks to raise his platelet count to no avail.
«Experts from all over the country were involved in his care. No matter what they did, the platelets count refused to go up.
«He was conscious and energetic through the whole process but 2 days before the last resort surgery, he got a hemorrhagic stroke caused by the lack of platelets that took his life in a matter of minutes,» Neckelmann explained.
Michael’s wife went on to explain how her husband was a «pro-vaccine advocate,» however she believes that the jab is not good for everyone and urged people to understand the side effects that could arise from the shots.
