Man dies after developing autoimmune disease from vaccine

A man with local ties died Jan. 28 after doctors say his second COVID vaccine caused an immune response that led to the development of an autoimmune disease.

Brandon Pollet, 33, was born and raised in LaPlace and lived in St. Charles Parish for 10 years before moving to Ponchatoula.

"Brandon had no prior medical history," Brandon's wife Jessica Pollet said.

"After his second Pfizer vaccine, Brandon developed a headache right away then fever 48 hours after."

"Unfortunately, none of the usual treatments have worked. The doctors have agreed that the COVID vaccine caused an immune response that led to the development of the autoimmune disease and HLH.".

"The community has organized blood drives and a GoFundMe account to support Brandon and to help us pay medical bills," Jessica, who took leave from work to care for Brandon, said.

The GoFundMe for Brandon Pollet - which has raised over $30,000 for the family - can be found by searching "Help Brandon with Medical Bills" on the site.
