A former contestant on The Bachelor Australia has said she suffered a heart attack as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer.
Monique Morley, who was an intruder on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor has had a post go viral claiming the Pfizer vaccine gave her a 1.5 hour fit as well as jaw lock, heart palpitations, blurry vision and a heart attack.
In the lengthy post, Morley said shortly after her first COVID-19 shot she had a fit. Her post has received over 70k likes and over 9,000 comments, compared to an average of around 4,000 likes and few hundred comments.
“15 mins after my 1st💉I started to fit uncontrollably for 45 mins. The doctor & nurse told me it was unrelated-not to go to hospital – to go home & rest,” she wrote.
Morley says that the following day some more symptoms began appearing.
“The next day I was on my lounge when I started getting jaw lock, clammy hands & heart palpitations blurry vision, I called my friend to come over as I was scared. Soon after I experienced another uncontrollable fit, but this one lasted 1.5 hours and it affected my speech also. Tom had to watch helpless. It was so humiliating & so painful. I can’t even explain it, absolutely Traumatic,” she posted.

Morley described her anguish about not knowing what was going on with her body.
“No one would listen to me i knew it wasn’t anxiety – there was something wrong but I was just dismissed. And that was the hardest part,” she said.
Morley then said that she was suddenly awoken while experiencing a heart attack.
“I went to sleep that night and unfortunately woke up at 430am to a heart attack. Alone – Another 000 call, straight back to the hospital. Abnormal ECG (Q Wave) damage to my heart & also inflammation of my heart/sack & fluid diagnosed as pericarditis from the echo, Told there’s nothing I can really do but to rest & take Panadol.”
The former reality star is convinced that the health problems she experienced were related to the vaccines.
“All my symptoms were unrelated but now I have damage to my heart sack and diagnosed pericarditis? It’s just so defeating having everyone tell you that it’s not related when really it is.”
Recently released data has found that mild heart problems known as myocarditis can be linked to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine, but the chances of developing the condition are rare. The study found 54 cases of myocarditis among more than 2.5 million, equating to a 0.002% chance of developing the condition when getting a Pfizer vaccine.
