FAKEnews - The journalist who made the decision: Eleni Kritsalou
On July 24th 2022, following a post on social media about the death of three doctors at a hospital in Canada that became viral, claiming that the cause of death was complications from the 4th shot of the COVID-19 vaccine, the news made it to the Greek media too. However, the hospital where the doctors worked (Trillium Health Partners) responded to the rumours circulating on social media and the press via Twitter (https://twitter.com/THP_hospital/status/1552375949345411072?s=20&t=JjKa1XebHz4rnExAuGqhYA) saying: “It is with deep sadness that THP mourns the loss of three of our physicians who recently passed away. Dr. Jakub Sawicki, Dr. Stephen McKenzie and Dr. Lorne Segall were respected physicians who dedicated their lives to caring for their patients and community.” The hospital added that the rumour circulating on social media was simply not true and that their passings were not related to the COVID-19 vaccine (https://twitter.com/THP_hospital/status/1552376339650551810?s=20&t=JjKa1XebHz4rnExAuGqhYA). Moreover, Lorne Segall’s obituary explains that he passed away after “a ridiculously unfair and hard fought year-long battle with advanced lung cancer” (https://mountpleasantgroup.permavita.com/site/LorneSegall.html). Also, Sawicki's wife told CTV News Toronto that her husband had been diagnosed with a stage 4 gastric cancer. And, according to McKenzie’s office, he had been “seriously ill” leading up to his death and his office was permanently closed. The nature of his illness was not disclosed. According to the aforementioned, the deaths of the three doctors were unrelated to the COVID-19 vaccine, and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.Users who reported this news:
