Can’t bear to read them all, but “Struggling to breathe” and “positional asphyxia” (dx on autopsy? Nope.) are mutually exclusive. And secondly, “short” and “brief” illness is code for sudden collapse, as is “died later in the hospital.” Most sound like they were dead in the field and unable to be revived. Pronounced at the hospital.

Sadly, Daniella Thackray, 25 died of cholangiocarcinoma, cancer of the bile ducts. She wrote, “Firstly, I just want to say that not all cancers are caused by lifestyle choices, in some cases it’s genetics or unfortunately it just happens. In my case, … it was not caused by anything in my control and my life was never the same again.” Getting the deadly shots arguably may or may not have been in her control. Thanks for posting these stories, even though they are heartbreaking.
