Woman shares how COVID shots injured mother, killed grandmother
30-year old Rochelle has shared how her mother sustained severe adverse reactions after receiving COVID vaccines, and her grandmother also died from complications after getting the vaccines.
In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Rochelle, shared her story, and her mother and grandmother’s stories. She asked that her full name and those of her family members be withheld, but provided The Defender with documentation to corroborate her account.
Rochelle told The Defender that her father, grandfather and brother all became doctors, and her mother, Marcia, was a nurse. Coming from a family of medical practitioners, “I was conditioned to always trust doctors since a young age,” she said.
Rochelle’s mother, Marcia, and grandmother, Jean, sustained serious vaccine-related adverse events after they received the COVID-19 vaccines.
According to Rochelle, her mother was “slightly hesitant” to get the vaccine, “but was told she would need to have it in order to see her mother … in the nursing home.”
As a result, Marcia received both doses of the Moderna vaccine in the spring of 2021. Adverse events followed soon after the first dose.
According to Rochelle: “About 10 days after the first shot, she experienced flu-like achiness and pain throughout her body that lasted several days. She wasn’t sure if it was a virus, perhaps COVID-19. She didn’t connect the dots to the vaccine and [the symptoms] eventually went away, so she took the second dose.”

Soon after the second dose though, Marcia began to experience more severe adverse events.
“Shortly after her second shot, her body rapidly fell apart,” Rochelle said. “She says it came like a bulldozer running me down.’ It felt as if her entire body was ‘in a vice grip.’
Rochelle said her mother described the stiffness as feeling like someone “took off her head and poured cement into her body.”
For several weeks, Rochelle’s mother didn’t know what was happening. “But when she saw a rheumatologist, she was diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), which her doctor said was induced by the vaccine.”
According to Rochelle, the doctor had “seen multiple other cases in his practice shortly after the Moderna and Pfizer shots.”
Rochelle said her mother will also need several surgeries for complete tendon tears in her shoulder, and may potentially need spine surgery to repair her herniated disc.
“She was very healthy and active prior to her Moderna vaccines, swimming or hiking every day while doing all of the daily household chores and managing rental properties and family finances with ease,” Rochelle said.
What happened to Rochelle after getting the HPV vaccine, and her mother, Marcia, after getting the COVID-19 vaccine was bad enough — but not as bad as what happened to Rochelle’s grandmother, Jean, who died “within a few weeks” of her COVID-19 shot, Rochelle said.
According to Rochelle: “My grandma’s first Pfizer shot was relatively uneventful as far as we know, but after her second shot, she lost the ability to speak.
“She was older and already suffering from physical weakness and dementia/cognitive decline, but she was still able to talk in complete sentences on the phone and she still knew who we were. That all changed after her second shot.”
After her second dose, Jean “could no longer speak or communicate … and her health declined severely,” Rochelle said. “Within a few weeks, she was dead.”
“Her doctors ruled her death as ‘age-related’ and refused to perform an autopsy but it is believed that she likely had a series of microstrokes leading to her aphasia and death.
According to Rochelle, this is common practice among doctors following the deaths of elderly individuals who may have sustained vaccine-related adverse effects.
“Often with older people who die or are injured after a vaccine, old age is automatically assumed to be the cause — while the vaccines they were recently injected with are never questioned or blamed,” Rochelle said.
Rochelle described her experience with vaccine and pharmaceutical injuries as having “affected every aspect of my personal life and relationships,” including her relationships with family members, who initially didn’t believe her story.
Despite what her father has seen within his own family — and friends who were also vaccine-injured — he refuses to acknowledge the fact that these injuries are not “rare,” Rochelle said.
Because her father is a doctor, Rochelle said acknowledging the danger of vaccines “would simply crush him.” He isn’t yet “willing to comprehend the scope of lies we have all been told.”
