BTW - I originally accidentally said she received the Pfizer vaccine in the subhead. The story is correct. She received the Moderna vaccine. I have corrected the subhead.
Great and devastating story. After reading your Twitter thread, I checked news outlets. They are not mentioning that she had a vaccine, only describing a "virus" and "a heart condition," as if it's perfectly normal for a healthy teenager to suddenly die from a heart condition.
How can parents get accurate information about the vaccine risks in this kind of climate? Absolutely criminal.
Common sense tells us our children and young adults our most valued citizens . They also are very unlikely to have a problem if they get Covid . To vaccinate them in order to protect the old, sick, fat people in this country is cowardly .
Alex, as always great job. I only wish mainstream journalists had your curiosity, drive and skills to produce this level of reporting. Really good piece. Keep up the good work. Anything coming down the pike on the Wuhan conspiracy?
I work in a cardiac cath lab and have seen myocarditis and clotting issues from the vaccine firsthand. I should also state that covid causes the same problems directly. The issue is clearly the patient population that is presenting with these conditions are not normally cardiac patient types and have just received their second shots. The good news is that the numbers are tapering off as vaccination rates have maxed out. I will not be vaccinating my children as risk-benefit isn’t advantageous. The government has lied about the frequency of side effects, some deadly, and other long term effects to be determined. Unfortunately there are numerous sad stories of healthy people succumbing to these harmful effects. It’s important that we understand that a shot for everyone may not be what’s best for each individual. Respect each person’s decision. This should not be mandatory to attend school.
19 years old? There is a huge danger related to the Moderna vaccine tell me what’s being done with respect to this poorly manufactured vaccine, that offers total protection from wrongful death and no Law Suits for damage and deaths? Scary people this is total BS!
Very sad situation to anyone who has lost a loved one during this truly rough time. The Misinformation being told is incredibly harmful to so many and the Mental health issues created are destroying lives Families. Lots of Critical care doctors are retiring because of the stress where I am we are losing 3 Critical care doctors and this is hurting me because I have been with them since 2008
Glad to see this article posted on your new substack. I felt like it made sense to post it here yesterday when I first saw it posted on twitter yesterday.
Thanks for all of your hard work and objectivity over the past year and a half. You've been an extremely helpful source of information during the pandemic.
2020/2021 shall be known as the years of “ coincidences” !
I am throughly disgusted with the physicians that aren’t seeing the blatantly OBVIOUS connection to the vaccines! I have lost faith and TRUST in these physicians. Even more disturbing is that they aren’t reporting to Vaers. I imagine most aren’t reporting because their superiors are telling them not to, or for fear of retribution. That makes the cdc , fda , and the vaccine manufacturers very happy , in my opinion.
Despite the low reporting rates , those “minuscule” numbers reported have blown prior years reports of other vaccines out of the water. The true numbers are much higher.
I would advise anyone having a vaccine reaction to have a loved one with you and record and get written documentation of everything regarding your treatment, or lack thereof . Take names.
The people who are losing loved ones to the vaccines, and those suffering injuries are being silenced and censored by social media like Facebook, and ignored by the lying mainstream media. But there’s too many “ coincidences “ out there now to silence them all, and there will be more to come.
The numbers of people worldwide on Facebook alone reporting their experiences was shocking. So shocking that Facebook deleted their groups and pages.
I personally know several people who suffered serious adverse events, some life changing. I currently know more people that had an adverse event from the vaccines than I know who had Covid. How disturbing is that?
My heart goes out to anyone who lost a loved one to these vaccines ( especially a child) . These were preventable deaths. There is NO proper INFORMED CONSENT being given.
If true informed consent were given, nobody in their right mind would take these vaccines. People need to be held accountable.
I understand this is anecdotal, but chilling. My daughter is a college student and had coronavirus in March. Virginia has mandated that all students must be vaccinated before they can return to schools for the Fall semester. My daughter believes she does not need the vaccine right now, but has just taken the first dose because she does not want to be ostracized by the school and her (uninformed peers) or have me fight the issue in court. The pressure to fight back is overwhelmed by the social expectation to just do as we are told. (My wife and I have had the vaccine, but we never had symptoms of coronavirus, so I'm not anti-vax, just think it should be case-by-case, and exclude those under 25 who have already recovered.)
I rec'd 2 doses of Pfizer in March. I have diabetes, not well controlled, but my most recent labs indicate that my kidney function has decreased. My kidneys were fine prior to the vaccine.
COVID deniers often point to it's low mortality rate as an argument against preventative measures like masking and social distancing. Yet they are often the same folks that point to incidents like this that actually have a MUCH lower chance of occurring relative to death by COVID. Can't have it both ways. There have been deaths caused by Tylenol. Yet 99.999% of the 145 million people vaccinated population experienced no side affects let alone deaths as a result of the vaccine.
My Father in law received the AstraZeneca vaccine two weeks ago (second dose),he was taken to hospital 6 days ago with numbness in his left arm and tingling in his finger tips, they kept him over night for tests as he had almost no pulse in his arm, they found a blood clot near his elbow, after further tests they then found another clot near his shoulder then another at the top of his forearm, he had surgery to break up and remove them, the really worrying thing is that he has low platelets so they are struggling to find a medication for him to take that would prevent blood clots without putting him at even greater risk, after looking at the guide on people with low platelet count taking the vaccine it’s quite clear they require specialist treatment and should be monitored, he told them about his condition before the first vaccine but didn’t receive any letter, phone call or advice on what could happen, there is a clear disconnect between what the protocol is for certain patients and the people actually giving the vaccine, there is clear advice on people with certain ailments (such as high blood pressure) but they are not being given it at the vaccination sites, they are just given the jab and sent on their way, my Father in law is now at home recovering and seems fine but with such a strange situation of clotting while having naturally thin blood it’s still very worrying, I’m not anti vax at all, I have two young children who are 9 and 5, the 5 year old has just recently had her mmr vaccine but they will not be getting this covid vaccine as they have already had the virus over the Easter holidays and even a numb nuts like me can see the correlation between people who have had covid suffering side effects once vaccinated, they talk about hesitancy but they bring it on themselves, if you suffered from really high blood pressure and where being invited to take the vaccine you would surely check on side effects for your own condition, then you read all the things that could happen and what to look out for that could be dangerous but they provide none of this personal care when you go for a vaccine only a generic leaflet which lists the side effect for everyone.

Excellent reporting and writing, Alex. Where can I contribute funds so we get more of this outstanding work?

THANK YOU for being one of the few journalists who have sought out the truth since this pandemic began!

This is so very sad. But the worst is the coverup by news media. It baffles me why?
