It's serious. [0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=5) They're taking her to the hospital. Get to St. Francis right now." [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=8) So I, I did. I drove as fast as I could. [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=12) There was a lady there waiting for me. They didn't make me sign in. [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=16) They didn't ask me who I was there to see. [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=18) She just said, "Are, are you Dad?" I said, "Yeah. Yeah, I, I guess. [0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=24) Yeah, they call me that." And she says, "Follow me." [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=28) And as we're walking through the couple sets of double doors, I remember thinking to myself, "This can't be good. [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=36) She asked me if I was Dad, didn't make me sign in, and they already know who I'm there to see." [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=41) As they were moving her up to the ICU, one of her friends said to us, "I think I need to tell you guys this. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=49) She had... She got the COVID vaccine, and she asked us not to tell you." [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=57) So now we have children taking the COVID-19 vaccine. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=60) Some of them are developing a scar. Uh, in the Jenna Shower paper, some of the scars in children are substantial, and they don't always feel it. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=70) They don't feel the symptoms when they take the vaccine. [1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=73) They're suffering heart damage. They develop a myocardial scar. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=78) At the time, it, nothing really registered. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=80) Like, it was just, you know, well- Yeah. It was like, well, that's unfortunate ... that's awful. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=85) Like, she hadn't done that. But really, what's, what's the chances that this is what- Yeah ... you know, caused that? That's kinda how we felt at first. [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=91) We didn't really put it together until a couple weeks of research. [1:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=95) Her toxicology came back clean. She tested negative for COVID. [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=99) They had no idea what was going on. They said her heart was swollen, her organs were shutting down. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=106) I don't believe that she was there anymore at that point. [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=112) I believe she passed at the apartment. They were, they were keeping her alive then with machines and, um... [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=121) It didn't look like Trista. Yeah. There was none of that bright... [2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=125) The light was gone. She was gray. I, I had a little, a checklist that I thought about in my head, because I knew that it was over. [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=136) And, um, I, I remembered I wanted to hold her hand, I wanted to give her a hug, I wanted to kiss her on the forehead, and I wanted to smell, smell the top of her head, because every time I kissed her, that's how I did it. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=154) And I wanted to do those things because I knew I'd never be able to again. [2:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=165) Sorry. [2:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=171) They called her official time of death at 5:05 that day. [2:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/SCWJk5YKphwT/en/trista-s-death-family-questions-covid-vaccination-and-heart-damage?t=175) An unlucky child will lose their life months after taking the vaccine due to a cardiac arrest, and the underlying pathology is vaccine-induced myocarditis and myocardial scar.
