The 8-year-old boy went into cardiac arrest at home and nearly drowned in a bathtub. He was taken to the hospital but died a few days later. Doctors and news sources did not say vaccines caused his collapse or death.<\/p>\n<p>The only link to vaccines is that the child had been vaccinated at some point in the past. But millions of children are vaccinated every year. Millions upon millions of children under age 12 have received COVID vaccines. Being vaccinated does not mean a vaccine caused a medical emergency.<\/p>\n<p>There is no medical evidence showing that a vaccine caused this child\u2019s cardiac arrest or death.
