Vaccine man hit by lightning

A PENSIONER was struck by lightning just days after receiving the Moderna Covid vaccine as part of a trial.

The 72-year-old American was hit in a freak accident and doctors later diagnosed the victim with arrhythmia – an irregular heartbeat – as a result of the strike.

The news emerged as one of three so-called serious adverse effects suffered by participants in the trial. Analysis by the US Food and Drug Administration shows participants in the Moderna trial were no longer infected with the virus ten to 12 days after receiving the jab.
