After getting her second dose of a COVID vaccine, a Utah Mom lost her life four days after her immunization. The woman has been administered a second dose of Moderna vaccine, which is included in the vaccine roll of the United States and has a high efficacy rate.

KUTV noted that the mother got her vaccine because she was working as a surgical tech for several plastic surgeons. Her family is now waiting for the autopsy result, which would determine whether the vaccine has something to do with her death.

Utah Mom and Vaccine

New York Post mentioned Alfred Hawley, saying that his daughter, identified as Kassidi Kurill, was very positive about getting the COVID vaccine and even encourage them to take their doses. Kurill only experienced a sore arm after her first dose of Moderna, making her positive about the vaccine. But everything turned the other way four days after she got her second shot.

KUTV mentioned Kurill's older sister from Arizona, who said that she was not worried about her sister because she had gone shopping and started to feel differently in the evening. In addition, the older sister mentioned that everyone from Kurill's workplace experienced flu-like symptoms. That is why the family thought it was only normal. However, Hawley woke up on her daughter asking for help, noting that her heart was beating so fast and that she needs to be in an emergency room.

New York Post noted that soon after, Kurill was brought to Intermountain Medical Center situated in Murray, a trauma center, because Kurill's liver is failing. Experts in the hospital believed that a transplant is her only chance. Prepared to donate a portion of their livers, Kurill's parents could not help their daughter as her kidneys, liver, and heart shut down.

COVID-19 vaccine-related death

Hawley noted in Fox News that Kurill's death surprised the whole family because she was healthy as a horse and had no underlying conditions before getting the vaccine. Chief Medical Examiner from the Utah Department of Health, Dr. Erik Christensen, shared that the connection of Kurill's death and the second dose of the said vaccine is only related temporarily. Christensen noted that they still do not have evidence that will show the link between the vaccine and death, emphasizing that the only known side effects are a pain in the arm and symptoms like the usual fever.

Christensen continued in KUTV that the only instance where a vaccine would cause death to someone is anaphylaxis. Furthermore, "only an autopsy can provide answers to the family when no disease or red flags are found." He also furthered that finding out if the vaccine is the cause of death will be hard for the autopsy to find out.

Despite what happened to the Utah Mom, Fox News highlighted Kurill's father still got the COVID vaccine, arguing that the disease is a threat to the demographic he belongs to.
