As Carlos Marin was vaccinated in Mexico and I’m not an anti vaxxer I’m triple jabbed but trying to work out why he passed away did young and vaccinated.

I wondered this question earlier today...

I’m in Mexico. Seven types of COVID-19 vaccine have been approved for use in the country for the initial COVID vaccination: AstraZeneca, CanSino, COVAX, India Surem Institute, Janssen, Pfizer, and Sputnik V. (Boosters are AZ only at the moment, regardless of the original vaccine given.) The vaccine programme started here in December 2020 and rolled out incrementally (vulnerable groups first). It's only been since July 2021 that all adults could get the vaccine.

Some of these vaccines are in very limited use - for example, CanSino (a Chinese one-dose vaccine which is only approved in about 15 countries) was used for military and diplomatic personnel from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and perhaps a few other countries, it was/is not generally given out to Mexican or resident foreign civilians. Most people I know (I’m in Mexico City) received AZ or Pfizer and had some choice in what they got (original vacs required registration, boosters are walk-in) but there are likely many rural areas where a smaller choice of vaccines is available at any given time, or perhaps only one.

Vaccination is only available here (through official channels - I don’t know what happens off-grid) for Mexican citizens and foreigners with a CURP (residence permit). I am not sure which category Carlos Marín fell into, or where and when he was vaccinated.

Of course, his death is devastating to family, friends, and fans regardless.

It said in the Daily Fajl today that he had a single dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

I was wondering this as well as he was young and must have had strong lungs due to the singing surely? It was also reported in the Daily Fail that he had Covid in 2019 and was vaccinated. I though he would be in a strong position to fully recover given that he previously had it and was vaccinated with one of the mainstream vaccines. I feel very sorry for his family. It's scary that covid is unpredictable
