The tax agent is livid at Victoria’s well being system for mistreating and misdiagnosing her daughter till it was too late, on the authorities of Premier Daniel Andrews for “forcing” the vaccines on the general public with out correct long-term security information, and the federal medicines regulator for its dealing with of Natalie’s case.
Blood clotting hyperlink
She additionally alleges that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) ought to have flagged a threat for antiphospholipid syndrome, an unusual blood clotting dysfunction estimated to have an effect on one in 2000 folks.
Natalie, who had no different main well being points, had been identified with antiphospholipid syndrome as a 15-year-old by probability whereas having her appendix eliminated.
Liberal Senator Gerard Rennick, a vocal and at occasions controversial critic of Covid vaccines, contacted the TGA in October 2021 flagging a possible hazard.
“He wrote to them in October 2021 to have Moderna pulled for people with antiphospholipid syndrome,” Ms Hamilton mentioned.
“If they’d done that she’d be alive. A lot of people don’t even know they’ve got it. Had I known what the Senator had said back in October, there was no way in a million years I’d have let her have another one.”
Natalie obtained two doses of Pfizer in September and October 2021, adopted by the Moderna booster on February 18, in an effort to hold her job at fleet administration agency LeasePlan — in addition to attend in-person courses at Deakin University — underneath the state’s sweeping vaccine mandates on the time.
“I don’t blame her workplace to be honest,” Ms Hamilton mentioned.
“My workplace had to check people’s vaccination status. We were all forced by Daniel Andrews. We were forced by government regulations. At my workplace they turned up to audit us and had we not complied it was going to be a $10,000 fine.”
‘She never woke up again’
In a heartbreaking account shared with the “Jab Injuries Australia” Instagram web page this week, Ms Hamilton described how the morning after her booster Natalie fainted in her bed room, falling and hitting her head on her ensuite cupboard.
Ms Hamilton rang the Covid vaccine helpline however “they were dismissive, telling me to call an ambulance if I think I need one”.
“Natalie assured me she would be OK so I just monitored her,” she wrote.
“She said she felt sick and tired so she went to bed for the day. Natalie continued to be sick for the next six days with stomach pain, vomiting and a fever.”
Natalie’s situation continued to deteriorate regardless of a number of journeys to docs and several other totally different hospitals, together with a virtually 16-hour keep at Monash Hospital in Clayton, the place she alleges well being staff didn’t test Natalie’s coronary heart regardless of a number of warning indicators.
On March 5, with Natalie experiencing issue respiratory and drifting out and in of consciousness, Ms Hamilton drove her to Mulgrave Private Hospital the place the emergency physician “immediately diagnosed” Natalie as being in coronary heart failure and beneficial she be transferred to The Alfred Hospital.
“Natalie was transferred to The Alfred in an ambulance about 2.15am Sunday morning,” Ms Hamilton wrote.
“While putting her in the ambulance, the AV doctor told me to hop in and have a final talk to her. Little did I know that would be the last time Natalie and I would speak. She never woke up again.”
According to Ms Hamilton, docs at The Alfred mentioned they “could not believe” that Monash Hospital had beforehand despatched Natalie house when she was “so seriously ill” with out testing her coronary heart, figuring out that she had had three vaccine doses.
“For the next three weeks, Natalie had numerous procedures and scans but never regained consciousness,” she wrote.
“She died on my passed mum’s birthday on the 27th of March, 2022. Her death certificate states Natalie died of myocardial infarction and that she had subacute myocarditis.”
TGA’s ‘disgusting’ behaviour
Speaking to news.com.au, Ms Hamilton conceded that “probably by the time she got to The Alfred she was a goner”, however mentioned Natalie might have survived had the myocarditis been picked up earlier.
“But then the decision they made [at The Alfred] shouldn’t have been made, too — to do that MRI, take her off life support for as long as they did,” she mentioned.
“But she was in a bad way. Dialysis, spinal cord damage. She died on my mum’s birthday. My mum’s been passed since 2004. Sometimes I look at it like mum took her because she was too far gone.”
In September, the TGA confirmed that “a young woman in her 20s” had died on account of myocarditis after taking the Moderna vaccine — marking the primary time Australia’s medicines regulator formally linked a loss of life to coronary heart issues from both the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines.
Natalie had not been publicly recognized till now.
To date, the TGA says it has recognized 14 deaths linked to Covid vaccines from 973 experiences obtained and reviewed — 13 after AstraZeneca and one after Moderna.
“The panel agreed with the TGA’s assessment that the myocarditis the woman experienced was likely to have been related to vaccination given the available information, including the absence of other apparent causes of the myocarditis, and the time frame for the onset of symptoms,” the TGA mentioned on the time.
“However, the panel acknowledged there were several other complicating factors that may have contributed to her death.”
But the TGA insisted that “current evidence tells us at a population level, the risk of myocarditis and other heart problems after Covid-19 infection is higher than after Covid-19 vaccination”.
“Given this, the expert group reaffirmed that overall, the benefits of vaccination continue to far outweigh the risks for the mRNA vaccines,” it mentioned. “However, they have recommended that the existing warning about myocarditis be strengthened in the prescribing information for Comirnaty (Pfizer) and Spikevax (Moderna).”
Ms Hamilton instructed news.com.au the primary she heard of the investigation was when the Coroner’s workplace, which continues to be conducting its personal probe, contacted her in September as a “courtesy” to tell her that the TGA could be releasing a report and that it could appeal to media consideration.
“I’m disgusted that the TGA has not contacted or given me any of those reports,” she mentioned.
“It’s pretty bad they did that independent panel and I knew nothing about it. I shouldn’t find out from an online link. They still have not contacted me in any way, shape or form.”
‘The pain is unbearable’
Writing on Instagram, Ms Hamilton remembered Natalie as a “beautiful, lively” younger girl and “conscientious” pupil who was on observe to complete her course with distinction.
“This was all taken from her,” she mentioned.
“Natalie’s death has destroyed her brother … and my life. The pain is often unbearable, our lives are changed forever and will never, ever be the same. Natalie suffered a brutal, unnecessary death.”
Ms Hamilton mentioned she strongly believed “governments were wrong to mandate these drugs with no long-term testing”.
“Natalie’s devastating passing and misdiagnosis by so many medical professionals should never have occurred, and nobody should ever again be treated the same way that she was,” she wrote.
Ms Hamilton is now pursuing a medical negligence declare over Natalie’s loss of life, having been suggested that vaccine producers got indemnity by the Australian authorities.
“You can never beat the government,” she instructed news.com.au.
“We’re never going to beat it. [But] Monash need to be held accountable. All of them to be honest. I want nobody else to suffer the way we are, for no other lives to be lost. And people have the right to make an informed choice. It’s been so hidden from the media, if more of this was out there …”
She mentioned she had written two emails to the workplace of Mr Andrews, whereas Natalie was nonetheless alive in hospital, livid about her therapy by the well being system — however by no means obtained a lot as an acknowledgment.
“It’s pretty disgusting,” she mentioned.
“Then he had the cheek in the election to get on TV and say he answers every single email.”
Shine Lawyers, which is representing Ms Hamilton, mentioned it was “investigating whether the treatment Natalie received at multiple health and hospital facilities was negligent”.
“If the treatment fell below the standard of care reasonably expected to be provided at these facilities, Natalie’s mother could be entitled to compensation,” a spokesman mentioned.
Mandates ‘saved lives’
In an announcement, a spokesman for SG Fleet — which acquired LeasePlan in 2021 — mentioned employees had been “deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our colleague Natalie”.
“In keeping with government advice in force at the time, we mandated vaccinations for staff to perform particular activities,” he mentioned.
“This included staff who were actually attending the workplace, either because the nature of their role required it, or because they preferred to work in the office. Vaccination was not otherwise mandated. Where staff expressed any concern about attending the workplace or being vaccinated, we worked with our people to find alternative arrangements, such as a work-from-home set-up, if practicable.”
He mentioned within the case of Natalie’s crew, “team members who were unable or preferred not to come to the office were able to work from home”.
“We respect each individual’s right to make a decision regarding vaccination that is right for them and at no stage did the company discuss with Natalie a requirement to be vaccinated or the implications of any vaccination for her employment,” he mentioned.
Earlier this month, the Premier was heckled at a press convention by a passer-by offended about vaccine mandates however insisted he wouldn’t “apologise for saving lives”.
“Let me make one thing very clear to you, vaccines work,” Mr Andrews instructed the person. “I am absolutely, absolutely pro-vaccine … You’ve had your say and you are frankly wrong.”
Ms Hamilton pressured that she was “not an anti-vaxxer”.
“I’ve had three [Covid] vaccines but I’ll never touch another one now,” she mentioned.
“They’re pushing the fifth one. It’s ridiculous — I still got Covid anyway. Believe it or not, I got Covid two days after she died. I was fine. I was tired and had a sore throat.”
Last yr, the federal and state governments finalised a take care of Moderna to provide as much as 100 million vaccine doses in Victoria on the first mRNA manufacturing facility within the southern hemisphere.
Mr Andrews, the TGA and Monash Hospital have been contacted for remark.
