Pfizer COVID Shot Linked to Death of Woman in Minnesota
An 82-year-old woman died in a hospital in Twin Cities, Minnesota on June 2, 2022, 16 days after receiving a second booster dose of Pfizer/BioNTech’s Comirnaty messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 shot. Described by one of her two daughters, Leanne Goth, as a “vital, energetic person,” Darlene Carlson was vaccinated on May 17 and within five days she began to complain of feeling unwell.1 2 3 Goth recalled:
She looked at me and said, ‘I have not been feeling well since I got that booster.’ She didn’t want to go to the hospital, but I insisted. I said, ‘Mom, it’s not like you to be this tired for this long.’ You could tell she wasn’t breathing the way that she should be.1
A few days later, Carlson was taken to the hospital where she tested negative for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. But tests reportedly showed that her lungs were “completely inflamed.” According to Carlson’s daughters, “Her lungs looked like COVID lungs but she did not have COVID.”1 Goth explained:
Then it was decided she would go to the ICU so we knew it was serious. They needed more oxygen. They were trying all the antibiotics. They were testing for every kind of fungus. All of the tests came back negative. They were trying all kinds of medications. She wasn’t responding to any of them. The next morning they said she was on 100 percent oxygen, and they had to intubate and I rushed down there. I wanted to talk to her before she was sedated.1
Goth continued:
She had a heart attack while on the ventilator. I said, ‘Yesterday you said she has a 65 percent chance of survival. What do you think today?’ [The doctor] said things have changed and by that afternoon they told us that she was not going to survive.1
Doctor Said Death Should Be Attributed to Vaccine
Carlson died eight days after being admitted to the hospital. Goth said that the attending physician wrote in a report that her mother’s death should be reported as an adverse reaction to the COVID vaccine. “The very last line of it wrote this must be reported as an adverse reaction to the vaccine. Then the doctor who wrote her death certificate wrote it as a contributing factor,” Goth said.1
In April 2023, Carlson’s family received a $9,000 check from the U.S. Department of the Treasury for compensation from the Health Resources & Services Administration’s (HRSA) Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), suggesting acknowledgement that the Comirnaty shot played a role in Carlson’s death. The money is for reimbursement of funeral costs.1 2 3 4
Referring to the CICP, Carlson’s other daughter, Susan Trelstad, said that the system gave them the “runaround” for several months. “I think they were trying to get me to go away. I’m a stubborn Swede so I wouldn’t,” Trelstad said. “I wanted them to see my mom’s death certificate and the booster shot. It was my way of getting her death certificate in front of their faces.”2
“It feels like validation. It’s an acknowledgment from the government these shots are not as safe as they claim to be. There is a real risk involved,” Goth said. “We understand most people don’t die from these shots, but a lot of people are injured and there are a minority that die. But, for our family this was so unnecessary. It has cost us so much, the contributions our mom made to the family can’t be counted.”2
