A Brazilian TV reporter was hospitalised after suffering a cardiac arrest on a live news broadcast on Monday one week after he took his booster shot.

Via Italy24:

Brazilian journalist of TV Alterosa, Rafael Silva, suffered cardiac arrest during a live broadcast. After the heart attack he was taken to Humanitas Hospital, in Varginha, in southern Minas Gerais.

Silva is 36 years old and on December 28 received the third dose of the Covid vaccine. He had posted it on Instagram, writing: “Long live the third dose. I’m sorry for the people who haven’t had this opportunity. Vaccines save lives.”

For the doctors interviewed by the television network for which Rafael Silva works, there would be no correlation between the journalist’s illness and the vaccination.

“According to the specialists – explained the spokesperson for Tv Alterosa – the relationship with the vaccine has already been discarded. The suspicion, according to the doctor who is treating him, is that Rafael has congenital heart disease. In other words, it is genetic ”.
