Fully vaccinated mother-of-two dies in her sleep just HOURS after testing positive to Covid - with her only symptoms being a runny nose and sore throat
December 3, 2022
Newcastle - A beloved mother-of-two, who'd had four Covid vaccinations, died just hours after testing positive to the virus. Sydney healthcare worker Melanie Leffler, 39, passed away unexpectedly in her sleep on November 19. She had tested positive on a rapid test that day, with her husband Mick saying she only had 'a running nose and a slightly sore throat'. Her brother Kris Leffler said the family has yet to receive the coroner's report but believes her sudden death may be due to complications with her heart. Inflammation of the heart muscle and the tissue surrounding the heart, known as myocarditis and pericarditis, can in rare cases be caused by Covid vaccines, but is also a result of the virus itself.
