El Gato thank you as ever for all your incredible hard work.

My mum (84, early stage Alzheimers & dementia but no other underlying serious co-morbidities) died suddenly on Monday. When I got to the care home on the day, the first thing they told me was that the NHS had gone in on Friday & vaccinated all the residents with the 3rd covid (Pfizer my mum will likely have had) vaccine. I hold full health and welfare power of attorney because she didn't have capacity. No-one told me and no-one asked my permission. It doesn't matter what medical procedure it was - this wilful ignoring of POA and giving a medical procedure to someone without capacity & therefore in the absence of informed consent - is unacceptable.

Spoke to the GP who agrees a yellow card report needs submitting & will do it, & he also said that as there is no underlying medical reason for sudden death (she didn't smoke or drink & had no heart disease) there will have to be a post mortem and (quite rightly) he is unable to provide an interim death certificate.

Her death may or may not be linked to this third vaccine, we will hopefully get answers after the post mortem. However - they won't have used aspiration to check that they didn't hit a blood vessel (I know this because I forced them to do it when I very reluctantly had the second AZ - under coercion because I needed to travel internationally). Not aspirating increases the risk of hitting a blood vessel & this has been shown to increase risk of adverse effects:

I tweeted briefly about this on Monday (focusing mainly on the shocking lack of compliance with the power of attorney & not saying one way or another what I believe cause of death to be - because of course we won't possibly know until the post mortem is done) and had my first ever tweet in 13 years go viral (89,000) impressions. By far most of the responses were sympathetic but sadly yesterday it got picked up by zealots and I received a lot of abuse. Including from someone who claimed to be an NHS consultant and who repeatedly stated I was obviously making up the death of my mother! Even after I replied providing details of questions & information the funeral director was discussing with me yesterday (sensitive information that is not publicly disclosed & you only know if you are bereaved & working with the funeral director) they weren't having it & continued to abuse me. I was so upset I deleted my account on the bad tempered blue avian site.

I have my own perfectly reasonable reasons for anonymity on social media & substacks (as I'm sure our maestro El Gato does!) - yet the trolls just persist in screaming that, ergo; everything one says is therefore untrue.

Your analysis is always so good, but your analogies are even better. I will be incorporating shark attacks in IL into my discussions with friends and family. Hopefully you won’t require a licensing fee. I do promise to attribute it to this surly feline that I follow.
