In this interview, Sharon Schwans shares the heartbreaking story of her younger sister Donna, who suffered and ultimately died after receiving COVID-19 vaccines. Donna, a healthy, active woman, was 58 years old when she passed. She led a vibrant life, frequently engaging in activities like yoga and long walks with her dog. However, after receiving the vaccines in 2021, Donna started experiencing strange symptoms, including weakness in her legs and tingling up and down her spine. Despite seeking medical care, her condition continued to deteriorate. By April 2022, Donna was diagnosed with ALS, a devastating and incurable disease. Her diagnosis was given in a cold, clinical manner, leaving her with little hope, and her condition rapidly worsened.
Donna’s life became increasingly difficult as ALS took hold. Once able to walk and take care of herself, she gradually lost the ability to perform even basic tasks, such as bathing and going to the bathroom independently. Her husband had to make significant accommodations, including building a makeshift shower in their backyard. The disease stripped Donna of her dignity and independence, forcing her to rely on home health aides, which was a deeply demoralizing experience for her. Sharon recalls her sister’s emotional suffering, as Donna grew more anxious, depressed, and sleepless, all while facing the prospect of complete physical dependence and the indignity of potentially needing to wear diapers.
As Sharon reflects on the loss of her sister, she emphasizes the emotional toll this experience has taken on their family. Donna’s death was not only a personal tragedy but also left a lasting void in their small, close-knit family. Sharon expresses how Donna’s death came too soon and under unnecessary circumstances, as she believes the vaccines directly contributed to her sister’s ALS diagnosis. The family, already small, now suffers from the loss of a beloved daughter, sister, mother, and friend. Sharon mourns that Donna will not be present for important family milestones, such as her daughter’s upcoming wedding.
Sharon’s sorrow is compounded by a sense of injustice. She firmly believes that the vaccines, touted as “safe and effective,” were anything but. As she recounts Donna’s tragic story, she is also haunted by the larger picture—how many others are suffering in silence, and how their deaths or injuries have been downplayed or ignored by the media and government. Sharon insists that her sister would never have developed ALS if she hadn’t been vaccinated. This belief is one that she says she will carry to her deathbed, and she is determined to fight for recognition of the harm these vaccines have caused.
In the end, Sharon speaks of the enormous collateral damage these vaccine injuries have inflicted on families across the nation. As she and others grieve their losses, they also face disbelief or denial from those who cannot connect the dots between the vaccines and these injuries. Yet Sharon is resolute in her mission to raise awareness and fight for justice, not just for Donna, but for all who have been affected. She closes by urging those who are awake to the truth to keep fighting, no matter how overwhelming the odds seem.
