Moderna vaccine death of 21-year-old leaves mother 'haunted' while speaking in ... trends now

A mother has broken down while telling a senate inquiry how her daughter died after receiving her Covid-19 vaccination.

Mum-of-two Deborah Hamilton said her life had been 'destroyed' after her daughter Natalie died in what she said was a 'brutal, unnecessary death from a Covid-19 vaccination' in March 2022.

She told the senate committee examining two bills relating to the vaccines that her daughter was a 'healthy 21-year-old with her whole life ahead of her' before she received the Moderna shot as her booster injection in February 2022.

'My daughter would still be alive today if not for that Moderna vaccination,' she told the inquiry.

Natalie began to experience ill-health the day after receiving the shot, but would not receive medical treatment for the vaccination-related illness for weeks as a general practitioner and the staff at two hospitals misdiagnosed her as having reflux.

Almost a year following Natalie's death, Deborah received a text from the same GP clinic that had initially brushed off her daughter's symptoms reminding her to receive a booster shot. 

'Money is obviously more important to them than people's lives,' Ms Hamilton said.

'This text caused me severe emotional stress.'
