Vaccine Impact -
The UK Press is reporting that a 35-Year-Old nurse who was “fit and healthy” has died, alone, after receiving both Pfizer experimental COVID shots.
She leaves behind her husband and two young boys.
The Manchester Evening News reports:
The family of a young mum ‘who had everything to live for’ say they are heartbroken after she died from a rare brain condition.
Rachel McKinney, 35, leaves behind her husband Kevin, stepson and two sons aged 8 and 12, after her tragic death on April 3.
The care home nurse from Stockport began developing symptoms of confusion, and slurred speech in February this year.
She had received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine in December and January and reported classic side effects, her sister Gemma said.
But a month later, her family became increasingly concerned as she displayed signs of a stroke, and Rachel was advised by 111 to attend Stepping Hill Hospital.
Due to Covid restrictions, her family were not allowed to accompany Rachel, and received a text to say she’d had an MRI scan which showed she had inflammation of the brain.
The mum-of-two was transferred to Salford Royal Hospital eight days later when a bed became available.
Her condition had quickly deteriorated, Gemma said.
“In the first few days she was mobile and able to leave the ward and go and sit in the car with her husband and sons,” she said.
“Then she lost her mobility and couldn’t leave the hospital and so she wasn’t able to see anyone.
“She couldn’t speak and lost all movement in her body. She was on Facetime to her family crying.”
After arriving at Salford Royal Hospital, Rachel started suffering from seizures, and a decision was made to place her into a coma.
Gemma claims the information her family received from the hospital ‘wasn’t great,’ and said they received very little information about her condition.
“Nobody was able to see her before she went into the coma – she was on her own with no family there,” Gemma said.
“The hospital told her husband and her mum that her condition was terminal over the phone and my mum couldn’t even hear.”
Sadly, Rachel passed away on April 3 – a few days after doctors made the decision to turn off her life support machine.
