A young woman with an unknown neurological condition died in her sleep after receiving two doses of a Covid vaccine, an inquiry into long Covid was told.
Amy noticed she had numbness in her feet and became unbalanced over the month in between vaccinations.
After the second jab, the numbness spread up her legs and her limbs ached. Mrs Sedgwick said Amy had trouble standing and walking when they made an urgent doctor’s appointment.
The doctor said Amy’s worsening health could not be attributed to the vaccine.
“When we questioned the conclusion, we were firmly told we needed to let the vaccine theory go,” Mrs Sedgwick said.
She died in the early hours of April 2, seven months after receiving the vaccine.
“I know Amy would be here today living her wonderful life, but for receiving that vaccine,” Mrs Sedgwick told the inquiry.
Associate Professor at UNSW School of Clinical Medicine, Nada Hamad, told the committee she faced extreme difficulty in getting recognition and treatment despite her medical expertise.
“I was repeatedly not heard or dismissed,” she said.
“People would look at me and say: ‘You must be making this up’.”
Professor Hamad told the committee there was a “reluctance to acknowledge what was happening” to her even though she could articulate her symptoms in medical terms.
