An inquest has heard that a mother-of-two died from a blood clot caused by the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, reports the Dailymail. Michelle Barlow was admitted to hospital after suffering headaches and nausea about a week after receiving her first dose of the vaccine on March 7th but tragically died later that month on March 23rd with her family at her bedside.

The 51-year-old had died of ‘multi-organ failure as a consequence of pulmonary embolism’. The pathologist who recorded the cause of death said there was a ‘causative link’ between a blood clot in Barlow’s lungs and the AstraZeneca vaccine that she had received.

Michelle’s husband said the family was unable to remain with her at the hospital due to COVID restrictions, but on March 22nd he received a phone call from a nurse telling him to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

“I knew something wasn’t right. When I got that phone call, I expected to go and see my wife and she would survive.”

Paying tribute to his wife, Mr. Barlow said:

“She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She was nothing short of perfect. Michelle was and is to me the most loving, caring, patient and selfless person anyone could ever meet.
She was fit and healthy. There was nothing wrong with her.”
