Mississippi Man Described as ‘Young and Healthy’ Suffers Debilitating Stroke Immediately After COVID Vaccine
by
A Mississippi family is demanding answers after 43-year-old Brad Malagerie suffered a mysterious stroke just hours after receiving the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
Malagerie received the vaccine last week after leaving work from his office in D’Iberville around Noon. He went back to work after getting the shot where he was found a few hours later unresponsive, and colleagues had to rush him to the hospital.
“They called me and said he had that vaccine and something is wrong, we think it’s a stroke,” said Celeste Foster O’Keefe, Malagarie’s aunt.
The hospital found that Malagerie suffered a stroke likely due to a blood clot in his left middle cerebral artery. O’Keefe, who is also Malagerie’s boss, thinks it is a complication from receiving the vaccine as does the rest of his family.
“He’s a young, healthy 43-year-old, and I immediately thought it, and I said be sure to tell the doctors he took that J & J vaccine and that, to me, is what caused his stroke,” she said.
