A man in his 40s was euthanized after experiencing “post-vaccine syndrome,” following three shots of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a joint report from the Ontario Solicitor General and Office of the Chief Coroner.
The case falls at the nexus of two controversial issues. One is the impacts of COVID-19 vaccines, with protests and pushback having rocked the nation since vaccine mandates began during the pandemic. Secondly, the administration of medical assistance in dying (MAID) for non-terminal patients has been an issue of debate by lawmakers since the federal government broadened eligibility for the procedure in 2021.
