Lawyers for COVID-19 jab manufacturer Moderna appeared before the Coroners Court in Melbourne for the hearing into the death of a 21-year-old who died from myocarditis after taking the Moderna COVID-19 shot.

The Coroners Court launched an investigation to determine if the death of Natalie Boyce was caused by Moderna’s experimental mRNA injection.

“On April 17, the court was told that Ms. Boyce received her third vaccine, which was the Moderna vaccine, on Feb. 18, 2022,” The Epoch Times reports.

“Ms. Boyce’s death was the first case where the TGA linked a death to heart complications from either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines,” the outlet noted.

From The Epoch Times:

Around one week later, she went to a general practitioner (GP) after experiencing vomiting for five days, along with aching pain and fainting at one point.

In the ensuing weeks, Ms. Boyce went to a hospital and a medical centre as her symptoms persisted.

Then, on March 5, she attended Mulgrave Private Hospital after suffering from chest pain and shortness of breath. She was then transferred to The Alfred, where she was diagnosed with fulminant myocarditis, a severe cardiac inflammation disease that is often fatal.

Ms. Boyce’s condition deteriorated after undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot. She later suffered a heart attack during an MRI.

Ms. Boyce could not be revived and was declared dead on March 27, just under six weeks after the vaccine dose.

A post-mortem revealed Boyce died from an acute myocarditis infarction.

The autopsy report said, “a vaccine-related myocarditis cannot be excluded” due to the close proximity in time of the injection.

In February this year, Moderna engaged its own cardiologist to provide an expert opinion to the court and asked for extended leave to provide a report from them.

Syrjanen said Moderna’s report differed to other medical evidence before the coroner on Boyce’s cause of death and medical management in the lead-up, but she did not detail how.

“Moderna submitted in a letter to the court that ‘the conclusion from the autopsy report should be accepted: that a definitive cause for Boyce’s myocarditis cannot be identified’,” she told the court.

“I seek clarification from Moderna’s legal representatives today as to Moderna’s current position and whether that has changed.”

Moderna’s lawyer Jesse Rudd said he could not give instant clarification on the company’s position.

“That’s the first I’ve heard of it,” he replied, asking for time to seek advice.

All parties were given eight weeks to read through Moderna’s report and consider their positions.

The case will return on July 17 for mention before Coroner Catherine Fitzgerald.
