Dorset, England: Louise Atkinson, a lawyer, passed out while bathing her nine-month-old baby girl, Eleanor, a day after receiving her first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID jab. Atkinson’s husband returned hone from a dentist appointment and found his unresponsive wife on the floor while the baby was lying face down and turning blue in the shallow bath. The baby was flown to an emergency hospital but could not be saved and died four hours later on March 23, 2021. Public Health England advised police investigators that the AstraZeneca vaccine could cause ‘sleepiness and drowsiness’ as uncommon side effect. Mrs. Atkinson said she experienced another black-out while visiting baby Eleanor’s grave the day after receiving her second AstraZeneca jab in June 2021.
- Louise Atkinson blacked out bathing nine-month-old Eleanor at her Dorset home
- Husband James came home to find door blocked by unresponsive wife on floor
- The baby could have been submerged for as long as 30 minutes, inquest told
A baby tragically drowned in three inches of bathwater when her mother fainted 24 hours after taking the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine, an inquest has heard.
Lawyer Louise Atkinson blacked out as she bathed nine-month-old Eleanor, nicknamed Ellie, the day after receiving the first dose of the jab.
Her husband James came home from a trip to the dentist and pushed open the bathroom door to discover it had been blocked by his unresponsive wife on the floor.
To his horror, he saw their baby daughter face down in the bath turning blue.
Mr Atkinson picked her out of the water and woke his wife by grabbing hold of her. He then laid Ellie on the bathroom floor where he began CPR while calling 999 on speakerphone.
Mr Atkinson, a business manager, carried on the resuscitation attempts until the emergency services arrived six minutes later at their £500,000 home in Christchurch, Dorset.
Ellie was flown by helicopter to Southampton General Hospital, Hampshire, but was pronounced dead four hours later on March 23, 2021.
It is not known for how long Ellie was submerged before Mr Atkinson found her, although it could have been as long as 30 minutes.
