> After receiving the COVID vaccination, patient died when they were struck by lightning?

That is a valid concern and is one of the three known serious adverse events (SAE) experienced during the Moderna covid-19 vaccine testing.

> As of December 6, 2020, there were 3 SAEs reported in the vaccine group: a 65-year-old participant with community acquired pneumonia 25 days after vaccination, a 72-year-old participant with arrhythmia after being struck by lightning 28 days after vaccination, and an 87- year-old participant with worsening of chronic bradycardia 45 days after vaccination. On FDA review of the narratives, none of these SAEs are assessed as related. There were no cases of severe COVID-19 reported in the study.
