The 86-year-old sports icon received the first of two doses of Moderna’s vaccine on Jan. 5, in an attempt to inspire other Black Americans to step up to the plate and get the vaccine.
CNN reported that Aaron died “peacefully in his sleep,” and that no cause of death was disclosed.
Aaron made headlines earlier this month when he was photographed getting the Moderna vaccine. He told the Associated Press at the time that getting vaccinated “makes me feel wonderful.” He added:
“I don’t have any qualms about it at all, you know. I feel quite proud of myself for doing something like this. … It’s just a small thing that can help zillions of people in this country.”
Aaron was vaccinated at the Morehouse School of Medicine health clinic in Atlanta, in what news reports said was an attempt to inspire other Black Americans to step up to the plate and get the vaccine. The AP reported at the time:
“Rolling up their sleeves to take the first of two doses, these octogenarians, their spouses and several other civil rights leaders who received the shots in a brand-new health clinic at the Morehouse School of Medicine acknowledged the legacy of mistrust that many African Americans have toward medical research, stemming from the infamous Tuskegee experiment in which U.S. health workers left syphilis untreated in Black men without their consent, making them suffer needlessly.”
In December, VOX reported on the launch of a global campaign using influencers and celebrities to help overcome “vaccine hesitancy,” stating that it “will be unprecedented” and many institutions will have a role, including government and public health authorities.
However, health officials continue to encounter pushback, including from healthcare workers.
Adverse events to the COVID vaccine have been reported worldwide. Germany and Norway have reported a combined 43 deaths among elderly people who received the Pfizer vaccine, prompting China health officials to call for the vaccines to be suspended, especially among the elderly.
On learning of Aaron’s death, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., chairman and chief legal counsel for Children’s Health Defense, said: “Aaron’s tragic death is part of a wave of suspicious deaths among elderly closely following administration of COVID vaccines.

Poetic justice, Nomad. Wonder why he chose the Moderna vaccine? It seems to be the most problematic in terms of allergic reactions.

need some poetic justice for bill gates. Bill Gates tweeted a photo of himself — eyeglasses off, sleeve rolled up — receiving the first of his two coronavirus shots. except it doesnt look much like him. why would he take off his glasses to take a shot? as a person who cannot see without glasses myself, i would never do that. and this is the only pic i have ever seen of him wearing a mask. who was that masked man? https://www.cnet.com/news/bill-gates-shares-photo-of-his-coronavirus-vaccine-says-i-feel-great/

I don’t know if you have tried to wear a mask, nomad, but it steamed up my glasses so I was virtually blind while wearing one. It doesn’t say what kind of vaccine he got, but I assume he went for Moderna, too, because that’s the company he owns stock in. News from Russia is so censored, I think we’re unlikely to get good information about adverse reactions. Argentina is using the Sputnik vaccine and reports a 1% rate of adverse reactions: https://in.news.yahoo.com/argentina-reports-adverse-reaction-sputnik-185734650.html

lol. yes. have to wear masks everywhere i go. dont really have that steaming problem. probably wearing it wrong glasses on top of the upper edge.
but yeah thats probably bill. if he was going to fake getting a vaccine there are much better ways. obviously he has the same problem you have with steaming. that would explain why you never see him wearing a mask in his other pics.
