The first man in the world to have received an approved Covid vaccine – named William Shakespeare, oddly enough – has died in hospital at the age of 81 after suffering a stroke. The MailOnline has the story.
[William Shakespeare, or] Bill, as he was known, made global headlines on so-called “V-Day” on December 8th when he received the Pfizer-BioNTech jab at the University Hospital Coventry.The former Rolls Royce employee and parish councillor passed away from a stroke last Thursday, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust said, after a period of illness at the same hospital where he famously received his vaccine. He leaves behind his wife Joy, their two adult sons and four grandchildren…
Paying tribute to her husband, Joy, 53, said: “Bill was so grateful for being offered the opportunity to become one of the first people in the world to be given the vaccine. It was something he was hugely proud of – he loved seeing the media coverage and the positive difference he was able to make to the lives of so many.
“He often talked to people about it and would always encourage everyone to get their vaccine whenever he could.” …
Bill, born in Coventry, served as a Parish Councillor for over 30 years at Allesley Parish Council and as a Governor at Coundon Court Secondary School for more than two decades. He was also involved in planting hundreds of trees in Coundon Wedge, Allesley and the creation of Coundon Wood.
He helped with the local fundraising to purchase Elkin Wood, now managed by The Woodland Trust…
He was a long-term patient at the Coventry hospital’s frailty ward. He was an in-patient on the ward when he received his vaccine in December, which he described as “wonderful”.
A picture of Mr Shakespeare receiving the shot while wearing a pair of Christmas slippers and his hospital gown made front pages around the world.
Mr Shakespeare was the second person to get an approved vaccine after Margaret Keenan, 91, got hers at the same hospital moments earlier.

Covid death ?
Bludclart.
His first jab was several months ago in early December but he could have had a second one more recently.
I just realised you wrote ‘Covid’ not ‘vaccine’ so my comment is irrelevant.
Is there no comment delete button
Yes I was wondering when he had the second one
Well, at least we can be relieved that neither Bill, nor anybody else, who has acceded to being experimented on by AstraZenica Inc., Pfizer Inc. or Moderna Inc., died from, or ever will die from, either the China Virus or the experimental medical treatment.
Conspiracy theorists may believe otherwise, but no court in the land will be permitted to entertain their ravings, for real – and legally binding – reasons.
“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.”
Did you just make that up, Will S.?
I’m impressed.
Pre jab its a covid death, post jab it can’t be a covid death, even though you can still get it and still spread, allegedly.
OK I’ll say it. I hope Joy , 28 years his junior, enjoys her inheritance.
Maybe she’s had the jab and isn’t going to be far behind him lol ?
“The first man in the world to have received an approved Covid vaccine”
1) “Approved” : I thought none of them were yet approved, but only have experimental use authorisation. (Which should only be allowed if there are no other treatments and the alternative to the experimental treatment is a high probability of death, neither of which apply to this disease)
2) “Vaccine” They’re not vaccines, are they?
No they are most definitely not. Neither approved nor vaccines. (Bio weapons, more like). And while Mr Shakespeare happily encouraged others to take the jab, his time on earth was shortening considerably anyway, so he didn’t have much to lose if things went wrong, did he? Whereas jabbing our youngsters with it?
It seems mean to say it but if he was “encouraging” as many as possible to get the jab, what were his medical qualifications?
was it one of these I wonder?
Ischemic Stroke
Most strokes (87%) are ischemic strokes.1 An ischemic stroke happens when blood flow through the artery that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain becomes blocked.
Blood clots often cause the blockages that lead to ischemic strokes.

Basal ganglia stroke 1
Brain stem stroke 3 (2 fatal)
Cerebellar stroke 8
Embolic stroke 16
Haemorrhagic stroke 25 (4 fatal)
Ischaemic stroke 84 (3 fatal)
Lacunar stroke 17
Thrombotic stroke 8
Apologies, having re-read the article I see Mr Shakespeare had the Pfizer jab, not the AZ one. The Pfizer one has only been implicated in 44 strokes so far, according to Yellow Card.
So, more like 4,400 then.
So the snake oil does not, after all, confer immortality?
That will come as a shock to the covvizombies.
I wonder if this man benefitted in any conceivable way from being injected with an experimental gene therapy. Did he ever get out of hospital? Did he get to have visitors in hospital or was he still isolated up until close to his death? I find it shocking that so many very frail people have been “vaccinated” when they probably only had weeks or months to live.
Did Matt manage to squeeze out another tear as he did when Bill got the “jab”? Highly doubtful he gave 2 shits.
Perhaps he then came in contact with covid.
or maybe not. Just thinking what Yeadon and a few others have said about how the experimental ‘vaccines’ might make real corona infection worse.
At least he got to enjoy a few months of freedom. Oh wait…
This civilisation has lost the plot.
Investing this level of resource to vaccinate 80+ old people to “protect” them from one alleged virus that does not even have a double digit mortality percentage IFR in their age group is bizarre. Especially when you consider that the vaccine has clear side effects, that are not understood, and which must impact the frail and elderly strongly, The trade offs have just not been thought about and the so called science is unclear, at best.
History will look back on this and shake its head at us.
Without registering a flicker, the lemmings note that famous people are popping off after having being inoculated with an experimental non vaccine. Captain Tom, Prince Philip and this chap Bill Shakespeare.
Coincidences are staring us in the face.
R.I.P. Mr. Shakespeare. Let’s hope he isn’t the start of a “vaccine” induced tsunami of deaths…
Good old Bill! Sounds like he was a real good egg. I never knew him but his stomping ground was once very much my stomping when I was a lot younger.
This man suffered for the las year of his life being reduced to the confines of Covid Rules. The vaccine was not a success for him because he was still,, as we all are, subject to autocratic rules. Sorry Boris et al – we all must die at some point just stop locking us up for being healthy but still perceived as a biological weapon. Life is only an interlude before death and we need to wake up- perhaps the original William Shakespeare summed things up accurately:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
No! Nihilism in the mouth of Macbeth.
Life has meaning, but the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.
I always thought this name was made up to promote the vaccine. How they must have searched to find someone really called that. Where’s the Mirror’s blaring headline, ‘Vaccine kills the Bard’ or something just as sensational, you can bet if it had been before the jab it would have been Covid kills greatest playwright or some such over-emotional, manipulative bollocks.

The jabs aren’t approved yet, they’re only authorised for emergency use. Not the same thing at all!
So the injection knocked a year off his life as Covid age is 82
That made me laugh like a friggin drain!
