Notes and recommendations for conducting post-mortem examination (autopsy) of persons deceased in connection with COVID vaccination

Dr. Burkhardt and colleagues recently carried out a series of 17 autopsies on persons deceased within days to months of vaccination. They found characteristic lesions in multiple organs, which led them to conclude that the vaccines were likely the cause of death in most patients. Key observations were widespread vasculitis with microthrombi and intense lymphocytic infiltration of multiple organs. Here, Dr. Burkhardt gives guidance for conducting autopsies in similar circumstances.
