A healthy 28-year-old woman in Indiana died unexpectedly at her home on Jan. 21, 2021 two days after receiving an experimental mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) biologic for COVID-19. The deceased, Haley Link Brinkmeyer, PhD, worked as a physical therapist at the North River Health Campus senior living community in Evansville.1 2 3
“My 28-year-old daughter took the vaccine on Tuesday and was dead by Thursday … Autopsy shows no other red flags,” wrote Dr. Brinkmeyer’s mother, Shauna O’Neill Link, in a social media post.1 2 3
North River Health Campus reportedly hosted three COVID-19 vaccine clinics at around the time of Dr. Brinkmeyer’s death.1 On Jan. 20, the facility posted the following announcement:
We were honored to be able to hold our first of three COVID Vaccine clinics today! Appropriately themed “Shots of Hope,” our halls were adorned with all of the colors of the rainbow. Residents and staff alike rolled up their sleeves to do their part to slow the spread of this terrible virus. “Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.”1 3 4
It is unclear whether Dr. Brinkmeyer, who was vaccinated on Jan. 19, was vaccinated at one of those clinics. It is also not clear if the biologic she received was the Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 biologic or Moderna’s mRNA-1273.3 BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 are the only two mRNA biologics authorized for emergency use (EUA) in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).5 6
A third COVID-19 biologic—Johnson & Johnson’s Ad26.COV2.S—has been granted EUA status by the FDA, but it utilizes a human adenovirus vector technology and is not based on mRNA technology.7
According to a news report, no causal link has been established between Dr. Brinkmeyer’s death and her vaccination.2
