A Deputy Editor for the New York Times passed away of a heart attack just one day after receiving the Moderna Covid-19 booster vaccine.
Deputy Asia Editor Carlos Tejada, 49, was married and tragically left behind two children. He worked on the paper’s coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic, among other topics. Before he worked at the New York Times, he spent some time at the Wall Street Journal. According to his New York Times bio, he has worked as a reporter and editor for nearly two decades in cities such as New York, Beijing, Hong Kong and Dallas.
Just a day before his death, Tejada posted on his Instagram about his gratitude for being able to receive the Moderna booster while working in Seoul, South Korea. In July, he originally received the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Although, less than a day after getting his booster shot, he died of a heart attack.
A few days later, The New York Times confirmed his death, writing that he “helped shape coverage of the global Covid-19 crisis that won a Pulitzer Prize.”
Shortly before his death, Tejada posted on Instagram: “Double-vaxxed. Janssen-fueled, Moderna-boosted. Hey, Omicron: hit me with your wet snot.” After that, he added: “All I had to do was fill out this form in a language I can’t read. Translation software tells me I now belong to the BTS army.”
Less than 24 hours later, Tejada was dead. His wife posted on Instagram: “This is Carlos’s wife, Nora. It’s with deepest sorrow that I have to share with you that Carlos passed away last night of a heart attack. I’ve lost my best friend and our kids lost a truly great dad. I will be off social media for awhile.”
On Substack, former New York Times journalist Alex Berenson said that Tejada did not provide informed consent to get the booster vaccine because the consent form was written in Korean, a language he was unable to read – something he joked about in one of his last posts online.
Furthermore, Berenson added that no clinical trials have been carried out into the efficacy of mixing two different vaccine types, as Tejada did by following the Johnson & Johnson adenovirus vector vaccine with an mRNA injection.
It’s worth noting that the vaccines have been increasingly linked to cases of heart conditions of pericarditis and myocarditis, something that the NYT failed to mention.
