A coroner formally has officially recorded that the likely cause of Dr. Stephen Wright’s death was the AstraZeneca vaccine, making him potentially the first person in the UK to have died from the vaccine, according to his wife.

More than two years after 32-year-old Stephen Wright, an NHS psychologist in south-east London, died, an inquest has ruled that it was after taking the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
