Last year, shortly after receiving Pfizer’s mRNA Covid vaccine, a 64-year-old Florida woman named Cheryl Cohen suffered a sudden and devastating case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease – a progressive brain disorder.
Cohen’s symptoms began on May 5, 2021, when she suffered a panic attack while driving. By June, she was unable to care for herself and was hospitalized. She died on July 22, 11 weeks after her symptoms began – and only 13 weeks after she received her second Pfizer shot.
This March, several physicians who treated Cohen posted a report about her case to the Scholarly Commons page of HCA Healthcare., devoted to academic work by HCA physicians and other employees. The report on Cohen’s case – highlighting the close timing between her mRNA shots and her illness – quickly became among the page’s most downloaded.
Until June, when HCA, the largest for-profit hospital system in the United States, pulled the report. Its link now returns only a generic error message.
