[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] A national petition has been posted claiming that a mother who developed acute leukemia after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine has passed away.

On the 10th, a petition titled "In the End, My Mother Went to Heaven Unfairly" was posted on the Blue House national petition board. The petitioner claimed that their previously healthy mother was diagnosed with acute leukemia after receiving the first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine in May.

The petitioner stated, "(My mother) was hospitalized and underwent repeated cycles of blood transfusions, discharge, and readmission for treatment," adding, "On December 13, chemotherapy was scheduled, and although she was still able to walk with the aid of a cane, she suddenly lost the use of her lower body."

The petitioner continued, "The next day, she lost control of her upper body, the following day she lost consciousness, and the day after that, she was kept alive with a ventilator. Seeing her in such pain was heartbreaking, but with the family's consent, we removed the ventilator and sent my mother to heaven on the 6th."

The petitioner appealed, "Why did a healthy person suddenly become ill and pass away? She was living so healthily, and everyone says the same thing, so I am so unfairly hurt that I am posting this disorganized message. During the treatment period, the hospital refused to accept the causality application form for the vaccine because acute leukemia was not listed as a related condition."

Previously, the petitioner had posted a petition on September 9 titled "My Mother Was Diagnosed with Acute Leukemia After Receiving the First and Second Pfizer Shots." In that petition, the petitioner claimed that their mother, who only took diabetes medication regularly, began experiencing abnormal symptoms about two months after receiving the vaccine in May and was diagnosed with acute leukemia on September 9.
