I live on the outskirts of a town of about 2000 people. Thursday morning, I heard an ambulance coming into town toward the hospital and the sound of the air ambulance firing up. Shortly after the sirens stopped, the air ambulance started to shutdown. I got a creepy feeling because I could think of no other reason to stop the helicopter other than the patient no longer needing transport. Today we found out that it was a 49 year old woman that got her second shot two weeks ago and woke up not feeling well. Ironically, just before she called for help she took the time to answer the regional radio station's "Listener Poll of the Day". Her response to "Should children be required to be vaccinated before returning to school?" was a yes. Then she got into the ambulance for the 20 minute ride to our hospital and died of a heart attack before arriving.

Word is now getting around that there have been many similar but non-fatal reactions in the community but nobody is speaking out publicly. Instead, there is an effort to paint this as a pre-existing condition, nothing to do with the needles she had put into her. I'm hoping this woman's case is enough to shatter the cone of silence here.
