South Yorkshire coroner Nicola Mundy recorded the death of housewife and mother, Kim Lockwood, 34, as Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia, according to the BBC.
The BBC reports there been 438 cases of the VITT with 78 resulting deaths.
Lockwood returned to the hospital where her complaints that the pain in her head was literally killing her weren’t listened to by hospital staff said the Epoch Times.
“Kim’s pain wasn’t appropriately managed, and the family should have been listened to,” Mundy told the BBC.
The American Society of Hematology lists VITT as extremely rare, however says that “urgent medical evaluation for VITT is indicated” with severe headache, visual changes, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, back pain, shortness of breath, leg pain or swelling, Petechiae, and easy bruising, or bleeding.
However, the condition could’ve been easily diagnosed with a simple platelet count and imaging to check for thrombosis in the brain, said the society’s web site.
It may be a little consolation to the victim and her family, but the hospital told the BBC that because of the death they know a lot more about VITT then they did previously.
“Rotherham Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said more was now known about the link between the vaccine and VITT and how to treat it, with all patients with low platelets referred to haematologists,” said the BBC.
The American College of Cardiology said that VITT is indicated between five to 42 days after a vaccination and has only been recorded as an adverse event by Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccinations.
The medical website also stresses that the first thing doctors should tell to patients worried about VITT is that “these events are extremely rare. In the rare event that VITT occurs, hospitals and doctors have the tools to diagnose and treat this condition.”
But not apparently in the case of Kim Lockwood.
