3230AMERSFOORT, NETHERLANDS — St. Elisabeth Nursing and Guest House residents received their first mRNA shots on January 30. What happened thereafter shocked staff and the families of residents.
At least 22 residents died in the last two weeks at the facility, according to RTV Ultrecht in the Netherlands. St. Elisabeth houses elderly people with dementia and other cognitive disorders. It’s unclear whether the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna shot was the culprit, as the country is utilizing both. Board member Evelien Bongers believed the shots would eradicate the threat of COVID-19 within the facility. But it had the exact opposite effect.
“It is very intense and very intensive. For the residents, for their families and loved ones and for our staff,” she told RTV. “It is not only intense because of last week, but also because the virus has been asking a lot of us for so long.” The carnage may not be over, as more deaths “cannot be ruled out.”
Similar incidents are happening across Europe. A Spain nursing home stopped administering Pfizer BioNTech shots after 46 residents died within days of the first jab. At least 10 senior citizens in Germany died within four days after Pfizer shots. Norway reported 23 deaths in early January, mostly elderly, after Pfizer shots.
