SAFED, ISRAEL – A 22-year-old woman died just two weeks after receiving her second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Shirel Hilel got the shot on March 17th. She developed multiple symptoms shortly afterward. She was hospitalized with breathing difficulties and chest pains but died a few days later on Tuesday, March 30th.
Ms. Hilel received her second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday, March 17th. She started having muscle pains and overall discomfort. The situation got worse when she started having trouble breathing. She was taken to Ziv Medical Center in Safed as the situation deteriorated further.
Doctors diagnosed her with myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle. She was transferred to the hospital’s cardiac unit for further treatment. She died not long after.
Nofar Hilel-Vizman, Shirel’s sister, said that nobody in the hospital came to her sister’s aid.
“I looked at the monitor, I saw the breaths. The monitor was beeping and no one approached.”
