Melle Stewart was a hugely successful actress. Now she has a piece of titanium the size of her hand lodged in her skull..
An Australian theatre star and vaccination advocate is suing pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, claiming that a life-threatening stroke left her unable to work after taking the company’s vaccine.
Melle Stewart, 42, is known for her acting in both the UK and Australia, including playing the lead in the musical Mamma Mia! and Channel 7’s Home and Away.
Ms. Stewart received her first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on May 24, 2021.
Two weeks later, she began having seizures, lost her ability to speak, and lost all movement on the right-hand side of her body.
Brain surgeons diagnosed her with Vaccine-Induced Thrombocytopenic Thrombosis (VITT), a blood-clotting condition that the manufacturer and the regulators now acknowledge as a “very rare side effect” of this particular vaccine.
She underwent multiple procedures and rigorous therapy, including craniectomy, a three-hour operation to remove a portion of her skull to reduce the pressure in her brain and keep her alive.
Surgeons have since replaced that part of her skull with a titanium plate the size of her hand.
‘Linked to the Vaccine’..
From the start, the doctors "were running the hypothesis that this was linked to the vaccine," said Ms. Stewart's husband, Ben Lewis.
“It was a relatively new diagnosis. But Melle had zero medical history. She was so healthy. She looked after her body like a temple. After all that was her job. She had never even been in hospital before,” he said.
Despite this, blood tests conducted by a haematologist revealed specific markers to confirm the vaccine as the cause.
Ms. Stewart exhibited low blood platelet levels and clotting issues, necessitating five blood transfusions within four days.
The couple had never had COVID-19 to their knowledge, but the theatre industry had been shut down during the pandemic, so they believed that mass vaccination was a crucial step in bringing back audiences.
“It’s incredibly frustrating. Words are my life and it has gone now. I say the words but getting them out is an issue,” Ms. Stewart told The Telegraph about the dim prospect of a theatrical appearance. “I am grieving over it. It is hard.”
While she received £120,000 (A$230,000) from the government as an acknowledgement of the vaccine's damage, it falls short of compensating the substantial earnings lost by her and her husband, who put his work on pause to nurse his wife back to health.
Ms. Stewart has agreed to a second vaccination and wants people to know that she remains an advocate for vaccination.
“Despite the issues I’ve had due to the Astra Zeneca vaccine, I have gone on to receive multiple doses of the Pfizer vaccine and I remain a staunch advocate for vaccination,” Ms. Stewart said. However, the pair are compelled to take legal action against AstraZeneca because they believe they were misled by the government’s reassurances.
“We had an expectation this vaccine was safe to use but AstraZeneca was not safe to use in this case,” Mr. Lewis said.
“And while there are only a relatively small number of people injured or worse, it is incumbent on the government to take care of the very few people who have done the right thing for the country and society.”
Vaccine Damage Payment..
Ms. Stewart's tax-free payment from the government is part of a compensation scheme set up in 1979 to maintain public confidence in all vaccinations.
For people who have suffered life-changing injuries from having a COVID-19 vaccination, and the flow-on impacts on their loved ones, critics consider this to be woefully inadequate.
The present payout amount has not been raised since 2007.
The scheme requires that victims demonstrate they are 60 percent disabled as a result of the vaccine. Those who do not meet this threshold receive no financial assistance, without a sliding scale for those with lesser damage.
In response to the landmark legal case against the company, of which Ms. Stewart is a part, an AstraZeneca spokesperson told The Epoch Times that "patient safety is our highest priority and regulatory authorities have clear and stringent standards to ensure the safe use of all medicines, including vaccines."
"Our sympathy goes out to anyone who has lost loved ones or reported health problems," he said.
The spokesperson added that the government's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority (MHRA) granted full marketing approval for Vaxzevria for the UK based on the "safety profile and efficacy" of the vaccine.
I know what protects me from Covid. It’s my immune system the first time I got it and my natural immunity after that.
How many other diseases do we hear about where natural immunity is dismissed like this and that people are told to get vaccines for a disease they already had and have natural immunity for?
That alone tells you there is something nefarious about the covid shots.
So, she’s privy to a control group that I’m unfamiliar with?
(“Despite the issues I’ve had due to the Astra Zeneca vaccine, I have gone on to receive multiple doses of the Pfizer vaccine and I remain a staunch advocate for vaccination,” Ms. Stewart said.)
Wow, you truly cannot fix stupid.
My goodness.
She canna take much more!!

That statement has stayed on my mind since I first read it. It's so bizarre, I find myself wondering if she feels she has to say that to avoid harrassment, job loss, ridicule etc because it's Australia, the government is in a sense liable, and they are abusive in their attitude re vax and those who may resist it. She's an actress - maybe her industry is 'vax obsessed' or she wants to signal that if the vax is once again required, she'd be obedient? I just checked and boosters are no longer mandated in Australia, but are being pushed, recommended, especially for those 65 and older.
Sadly, it's also possible the cognitive problems and brain injury she's experienced won't help keep her alive now. :(
She’s in severe denial
And/or a professional liar
Even though she’s Australian
The above was for Jamie Lee Curtis types during President Donald Trump’s administration
You never understood what vaccines are for, did you?
I had the most successful vaccine ever, which eradicated the 30%+ mortality rate virus from entire world.
But I got infected with the virus anyways. Yes, it was smallpox. But the vaccine did it’s only job, which is to create additional anti-bodies to fight the virus AFTER IN INVADES the body. My 10 year old body fought off deadly smallpox and I recovered in a week.
No virus can create a virus proof screen in your nose to prevent infection. Vaccine comes into play after you are infected by using the additional anti-bodies created by vaccine.
I was vaxxed for covid, but inhaled the virus somewhere and came down with symptoms. Tested positive for covid. But I recovered in 36 hours! No medicines and no hospital needed.
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons is calling for all COVID-19 vaccines and boosters to be removed from the market because of excess risk of injection. #courageousdiscourse support recall at https://t.co/2dbMnMkp4d https://t.co/kxSbQKeY60 https://t.co/dWb7U3IuF9 pic.twitter.com/mAMDBUhGq1— Peter A.

Remember, according to Dingbat here, if it's not in one of her approved peer-reviewed journals...
It's not SCIENCE™!
...and thus it just *can't* be true.
Sounds like someone was educated far beyond her feeble intelligence.
HoW do you know you weren’t given the placebo or super low dosage?
You don’t because those jabs were experimental and some people got much higher doses than others.
Everyone that took them had a batch #.
Soon it will be a permanent I.V. tube to help speed it along...
"It's so bizarre"
