Woman receives first dose of BionTech and dies in hospital shortly afterwards! Did the vaccination come too late?
According to media reports, a woman died from COVID-19 after being hospitalized days after receiving her first dose of the vaccine containing the virus. How could this happen?
Maria Troutman from received her first dose of the Pfizer/BionTech vaccine on Sept. 12 and was hospitalized about a week later with COVID pneumonia, San Diego news station KGTV reported.
Troutman had been hesitant to get vaccinated, but then did after her husband was required to do so at his workplace, according to her daughter, who spoke with KGTV.
“If he has to get vaccinated, she will,” Troutman’s daughter Crystal Keller said.
A few days later, she began experiencing symptoms like fever, loss of taste and smell, and chills.
Hospitalization couldn’t save her!
After being hospitalized, Troutman was placed on a ventilator in early October, and she died on Oct. 18, her 50th birthday. “After a month of fighting with all her might, my mother, Maria Chelo Troutman, received her angel wings on Sunday, October 18, 2021,” reads a post on GoFundMe set up to help Troutman’s family raise money for expenses. Keller told KGTV that she believes her mother would have survived if she had been vaccinated earlier.
People should get vaccinated!
“I believe she would be alive today if she had gotten vaccinated,” she said. She also called on others to get vaccinated. “People should get vaccinated IMMEDIATELY…… I don’t want others to go through the pain I went through,” Keller said. According to the GoFundMe page, Troutman was making “great progress” in the hospital before her death and her oxygen levels were increasing when “she suddenly started having trouble breathing and had to be switched to ECMO treatment as a last resort.”
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a procedure in which blood is removed from the body, oxygenated and replaced to allow the heart and lungs to recover.
She died on your birthday

“Unfortunately, on the morning of her 50th birthday, her blood pressure dropped due to internal bleeding in her brain. The bleeding was too severe and her brain stem was severely damaged,” the statement said. “She was a mother, wife, sister, cousin and friend. She was an amazing, loving, caring, selfless, strong, smart and genuine woman. She loved to give and help those in need,” it continues.
