Actress Katarina Pavelek has been euthanized after suffering a devastating reaction to a Covid booster shot.
Pavelek, originally from Slovakia, is known for her work on Fox Sports Live (2013), The Mindy Project (2012), and Marry Me (2014).
She died following an “assisted suicide” earlier this month in Liestal, Switzerland.
The model and actress suffered severe injuries from the booster she received a year ago.
Pavelek believed the shot would enhance her immune system.
However, the jab had the reverse effect.
According to Evie Magazine, Pavelek tragically experienced significant health deterioration thereafter.
“Like most people, Pavelek thought the jab would improve her immune system – instead, it did the opposite, and she suffered heavily as a result,” the outlet reported.
“Pavelek was diagnosed with an incurable chronic neurological illness known as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a long-term illness with a wide range of symptoms that affects daily activities.
“At times, this condition may confine people to their beds. ME/CFS can worsen if individuals with this illness overwork themselves,” Evie notes.
“The model was also suspected to have respiratory ALS, a neurodegenerative disorder that weakens the muscles involved in breathing and swallowing.”
According to CDC, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling and complex illness.
People with ME/CFS are often not able to do their usual activities.
At times, ME/CFS may confine them to bed.
People with ME/CFS have overwhelming fatigue that is not improved by rest.
ME/CFS may get worse after any activity, whether it’s physical or mental.
People with ME/CFS may not look ill.
However, their lives may be impacted in the following ways:
- People with ME/CFS are not able to function the same way they did before they became ill.
- ME/CFS changes people’s ability to do daily tasks, like taking a shower or preparing a meal.
- ME/CFS often makes it hard to keep a job, go to school, and take part in family and social life.
- ME/CFS can last for years and sometimes leads to serious disability.
- At least one in four ME/CFS patients is bed- or house-bound for long periods during their illness.
Before her death, Pavelek took to social media to announce her heartbreaking decision to apply for euthanasia due to the severity of her illness.
She publicly addressed her thousands of followers on Instagram on June 1, 2023, regarding her plans.
“Hi guys, over last 10 days I became severely ill again homebound unable to do much,” Pavelek wrote.
“My body is too weak to fight this illness and I have no more strength so I made decision to end my life at Pegasos association in Switzerland.
“I was diagnosed with untreatable chronic neurological illness.
“ME/CFS caused by booster jab on top of having suspected respiratory ALS,” she added.
“This illness made me disabled, unable to work or have social life and unable to enjoy life all together.
“Breathing have become more and more difficult and painful for me and my lung function has been declining.
“Thank you for all your friendship and support over last year.”
Pavelek expressed her belief that the booster jab she had received had been the catalyst for her deteriorating health.
“The booster jab I received over year ago destroyed my health, my body and my life completely.
“There is no other way to end my suffering other than the decision I made,” she concluded.
