[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A petition from the bereaved family has been posted, expressing their grievance after a woman in her 40s who received the Pfizer vaccine underwent surgery due to a ruptured cerebral artery five days later and fell into an unconscious state.


On the 29th of last month, a post titled "Please save my sister who has not regained consciousness for a month after the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine" was uploaded on the Blue House National Petition Board.


The petitioner, Ms. A, said, "My sister was diagnosed with a ruptured cerebral artery after receiving the COVID vaccine," and "She has been lying unconscious for a month now."


She continued, "My sister received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on August 27 and had no symptoms, living an ordinary daily life. On the fifth day, she suddenly experienced severe headaches and vomiting, so she went to the emergency room," adding, "She was then diagnosed with a ruptured cerebral artery and underwent emergency craniectomy surgery."


Ms. A also claimed, "My sister had no underlying health conditions and was healthy," and "The hospital says that a ruptured cerebral artery can occur suddenly at any time and insists there is no connection to the vaccine."


She further appealed, "My brother-in-law has stopped working, and my nephew is struggling so much that I don't know how he is managing to attend school. Watching a family collapse like this breaks my heart and shatters my spirit."


She added, "I wonder if my sister would have collapsed like this if she had not received the vaccine."


Moreover, Ms. A wrote, "At 43 years old, still young with many things to do, this harsh reality is unbearably heartbreaking," and "The whole family sheds tears every day, just hoping for her to regain consciousness."


Finally, she pleaded, "Please save my sister so that our broken family can stand again," and "I only wish for her to return to the ordinary life she had before. Please help us."
