First Man to Get Covid-19 Vaccine in UK Dies of ‘Unrelated Illness’

Bill Shakespeare made headlines in December for being the first man to get the Covid vaccine in the UK.

Shakespeare, 81, died of an “unrelated illness” 5 months after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech jab.

According to British media, Shakespeare died of a stroke and it had nothing to do with the experimental Covid jab. Case closed.

BBC reported:

The second person in the world to get the Pfizer-BioNTech jab has died of an unrelated illness.

Bill Shakespeare, 81, received his first Covid vaccine in December at University Hospital Coventry shortly after 91-year-old Margaret Keenan.

The 81-year-old, who had served his local community in Allesley for more than three decades, died of a stroke, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust said.

In a tribute, released through the trust, his wife, Joy, said: “Bill was so grateful for being offered the opportunity to become one of the first people in the world to be given the vaccine.

“It was something he was hugely proud of – he loved seeing the media coverage and the positive difference he was able to make to the lives of so many.

“He often talked to people about it and would always encourage everyone to get their vaccine whenever he could.”
