Clinical narrative: I am making this report to the best of my knowledge and ability in good faith as a caregiver and because I love my dad.  My brother and I took care of dad. Our mother died in 2010 and dad lived alone and was able to work and do what he wanted  to do within reason until shortly after his second covid vaccine.  He still drove a vehicle and lived alone and took care of his activities of daily living, had a cell  phone and cooked a little. He did not have any typical health issues that usually afflict people in his age range.  He never smoked, never drank alcohol, did not have high blood pressure, did not have diabetes or high bIood sugar, was not overweight and did not have AFIB.  I did not know he took any vaccines until after he had been given the second shot on March 11, 2021. about 2 weeks after the first shot.  On or about Aprill 11, 2021 he and my brother were working a little on the farm and dad began acting strange and was diagnosed with a mild stroke. In a couple weeks he recovered somewhat and  by late May 2021, we felt comfortable letting him be alone a little again but Holiday weekend 2021, he suffered a major stroke and was take to the local hospital, Medical Center, and was then transferred to a stroke hospital, Medical Center. He spent 10 terrible days there not able to eat, drink, move himself, or talk.  Therapy did little. He was transferred to the best local rehab/nursing home near his home, after the 10 days. He spent about 4 weeks there receiving therapy and returned home and continued to improve and received in home therapies. He improved but never drove again. Near Christmas 2021 he seemed not to feel as well and after Christmas he seemed to have some symptoms of dementia.  In April 2022, as I fixed his breakfast, he had another stroke and we took him to the local ER.  He was admitted and stayed about 8 days in Medical Center and was transferred again for rehab therapy.  Besides the stroke, he was diagnosed and treated with the strongest antibiotics for a resistant bacterial infection. He did not ever have covid-19.  He was given IV antibiotics for his first few days in rehab.  I reluctantly agreed to take him to rehab because the facility required him to have a booster vaccine and there was not another suitable facility. I had my husband to care for who was nearly bedfast and could not take care of my dad at my home and I  now regret not doing that.  Dad was doing great with his recovery and on his last Sunday at rehab he really wanted to go home.but he was scheduled to be there about 3 1/2 weeks.  The next day.Monday, he didn't feel well and didn't eat much and slept alot.  I was with him every day there and we also hired a sitter to be with him at the facility.  On Tuesday, the nursing home called me about 6AM and wanted to take him to the local ER to which I agreed and met him there.  He was conscious but clearly ill.  He was sleepy and confused.  He was admitted with the same resistant bacterial infection and treated with the same strong antibiotics, vancomyacin plus one other that starts with M that I can't recall.  On Wednesday, he lost consciosness and he was diagnosed with double pneumonia which did not respond to the antibiotics. The pneumonia worsened, he never regained consciousness and died Friday morning, May 6, 2022. .  Through all this, doctors denied that vaccines caused any clots, including the neurologist who visited him a time or two while he was in Medical Center.   Why did my dad have these strokes?
