The head of New York’s Uniformed Fire Officers Association (UFOA) is seeking an investigation into three recent department deaths to determine if the COVID vaccine played a role in these firefighters’ passing. Each of the deaths occurred in the months following the city’s COVID-19 jab mandate for municipal workers.
The request from James McCarthy comes after the line-of-duty deaths of Firefighter Vincent Malveaux, 31, who died December 2nd at the FDNY Training Academy after suffering a medical episode believed to be a seizure. Lt. Joseph Maiello, 53, was found dead in a Staten Island firehouse after a Christmas shift, and Firefighter Jesse Gerhard, 33, died on February 16th at his firehouse after a medical episode.
McCarthy said about the tragic deaths:
“That’s a significant amount of people in a very short time. The vaccine is a concern with our members because it is something new that is being put into our bodies. It could be a factor.”
McCarthy wants the FDNY to provide the union with all relevant information pertaining to the decedents’ COVID vaccine history so that any possible connection to these firefighters’ death and the vaccine can be thoroughly investigated.
An FDNY spokesperson has reportedly confirmed that they’ll work with the Uniformed Fire Officers Association, and any other union for that matter, to investigate such.
