The widow of a California health care worker who died after receiving the second dose of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine says her late husband "believed in vaccines."
X-ray technician Tim Zook’s health went into a sharp decline after receiving the second shot and he was eventually transferred to the University of California, Irvine Medical Center where he died Jan. 9.
"We are not blaming any pharmaceutical company," Zook's widow, Rochelle, told the Orange County Register. "My husband loved what he did. He worked in hospitals for 36.5 years. He believed in vaccines. I’m sure he would take that vaccine again, and he’d want the public to take it."
"But when someone gets symptoms 2.5 hours after a vaccine, that’s a reaction," she said. "What else could have happened? We would like the public to know what happened to Tim, so he didn’t die in vain
