A 39-year-old British model has died after becoming ill following her first dose of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.
Stephanie Dubois suffered a “serious thrombotic episode” after being given the jab in the town of Paphos in Cyprus the Standard reported.
Ms Dubois had no underlying health concerns, Cypriot health officials have confirmed but a possible link between the vaccine and the model’s death is yet to be confirmed.
The tragedy is currently being investigated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Charalambos Charilaou, a Cypriot health service spokesman, said.
Ms Dubois documented her deteriorating health on social media with her initial excitement turning to dismay over her immediate adverse reaction.
The model wrote on her Facebook page:
“So I had the vaccination today! I hate needles, today was no exception . . . And now I feel horrendous . . . pizza and bed for me.”
On May 14th she was rushed to hospital after she experienced “full body shakes” and was “struggling to breathe”.
She posted:
“Woke up feeling fine and then within an hour I had full body shakes, all my joints seized and I was struggling to breathe and was cold to the bone with a persistent headache and dizziness.
“Mum and dad came to look after me and took me for a Covid test, which thankfully was negative . . . but it still doesn’t explain what the problem is. Maybe I’m having a prolonged reaction to my Covid jab last week.”
By May 19 she had slipped into a coma and “was not expected to come out of it”, according to Andrew Powers, a friend.
Local media claims that she had a brain haemorrhage and died on Saturday afternoon.
The toll of adverse reactions and deaths with possible links to the various Covid-19 vaccine continue to mount but are getting little attention from major media outlets.
