Kassidi Kurill a 39 year old single mom her family describes her as healthy happy and having
more energy than most she had no known health problems unless you count trigeminal neuralgia
she took botox for that she also took birth control she worked as a surgical tech for local
plastic surgeons she gets the moderna covid vaccine her first shot goes without incident
other than a sore arm second dose not so much she gets her second shot on february 1st which is a
monday later that evening she has a sore arm nausea and fever that's not unheard of after
someone gets the vaccine some people get a sore arm fatigue body aches slight fever and chills
especially after the second shot and especially in younger people now when this happens people
can take tylenol or ibuprofen no big deal right unless they take too much she did take tylenol
aka acetaminophen but we don't know how much she felt a little better the next day but by wednesday
she's not able to pee despite drinking lots of fluids she says it's the worst she ever
felt thursday morning 6 a.m she tells her parents she needs to go to the hospital
in the er she immediately starts throwing up blood tests come back and doctors say she was very
very sick and her liver was not functioning blood tests showed that her liver is not working
this entails severe elevations of her ast and alt enzymes this also means an elevated inr so what
is going on here this is acute liver failure aka fulminant hepatic failure or full minute
hepatitis the doctors give her iv fluids they also give her a drug to counteract the effects
of tylenol on the liver it's called knack or n-acetylcysteine but the damage was already done
around this time she becomes incoherent and this is because acute liver failure causes the brain
to swell called cerebral edema if it's severe enough it can result in coma at this point her
only chance of survival is with a liver transplant so she was flown to a transplant hospital but when
the liver completely fails it causes other organs to follow suit especially the kidneys in brain
and soon after the heart and the lungs she's put on full life support including a breathing tube
even if there was a match for a new liver she's too unstable to undergo the operation she dies
about 30 hours after she first arrived at the er she leaves behind a young daughter who wants
people to hear her story and if you want to contribute to her gofundme page i'm putting
a link below this video a lot of people will conclude that the vaccine caused her death
but timing by itself does not prove causation and a lot of people want to know did the vaccine
cause her death and if not then what caused it a utah medical examiner completed a full autopsy but
the results remain private the medical examiner said the autopsy did not show a link between
vaccine and death which is hardly surprising if a vaccine caused someone to die shortly after
receiving it how would it do so the only medical explanation would be an immunological reaction
meaning an allergic reaction so far in the u.s there have been over 200 million doses
of the vaccine given no one has died from a severe allergic reaction
as a result of the covid vaccine and in her case it's obvious that she did not have an allergic
reaction for example there was not swelling in the face or the tongue or tightening of the throat
deaths after covid 19 vaccinations are reported to the vaccine adverse event reporting system
between december 14th and middle of march there have been over 109 million vaccine doses in that
time frame in the united states now of those there have been less than 2000 reports of death on the
var system which is 0.0018 percent a reported death in the var system doesn't mean the vaccine
caused it if someone dies of a car accident on the way home after they get the vaccine what was the
cause of death so the big question in Kassidi's case is what caused her acute liver failure in
the u.s acetaminophen accounts for 40 of cases in 18 of cases there is no identifiable cause
13 are due to idiosyncratic drug reactions meaning medications other than tylenol the
general recommended dose for acetaminophen in healthy people is no more than 4 grams per day
sometimes people end up taking more than they should sometimes it's intentional
overdose sometimes it's accidental overdose regardless this accounts for almost half of
the cases of acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure acetaminophen toxicity it presents in
three phases the first phase involves nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hours in the second phase
during hours 24 to 72 there's a dramatic rise in liver enzymes seen on the blood work elevated
ast and alt in high ast to alt ratio during this phase acetaminophen causes kidney damage as well
the third phase our 72 through 96 consists of encephalopathy here the brain is not working right
because it's swollen there's confusion or lethargy this often progresses to coma there's usually
jaundice at this point as well the treatment for acetaminophen toxicity is a drug called an
acetylcysteine knack can be life-saving the sooner it's given the better the outcome if
it's given within 10 hours of ingestion there's a 95% chance of survival acetaminophen levels can be
checked in the blood work increased levels help make the diagnosis but even if they're normal
it doesn't rule out the possibility of toxicity why because it's possible that the liver already
metabolized the acetaminophen in fact it's not the actual acetaminophen that destroys the liver
instead it's one of its breakdown products it's a metabolite called napqi which turns the liver into
mush here's a picture of what i'm talking about this is liver necrosis and this is what a healthy
liver looks like when you look at it underneath the microscope this is what you get napqi it also
damages the kidney and when the kidneys aren't working people stop peeing this is why it's so
important that people make sure they're not taking too much acetaminophen this drug is often combined
with other drugs and toxic levels can sneak up on people for example over-the-counter cough
medications percocet vicodin they all have acetaminophen in them medicine is complex it
always comes down to risk versus benefit whether that be tylenol or other medications the risks
of the virus versus the vaccine that's why it's important to stay in the know thanks for watching
