Canberra academic Gemma Carey dies suddenly - Published Nov 25, 2024
"Vaccine induced" long covid... Okay, Gemma... Sure thing. The people making these claims need to prove their lack of covid infection if they're gonna keep claiming such things. Weird how these same people often take zero covid precautions before or after their vaccination too, so it must be the shot!
There's also some weird mixed-messages: She claimed both vaccine injury and long covid from an infection, so like.... Prove please? Which is it!? Let's see some titers! "Don't speak ill of the dead" and all that, but also like I can claim that stars are made of glitter: That doesn't make it true.

A well-known Australian author has died suddenly after returning to work from three years off due to “vaccine induced long Covid”.
The sudden death of a Canberra-based academic, Professor Gemma Carey, will be the subject of a report to the coroner after friends say she had asked for information on voluntary assisted dying after being told she may be suffering from long Covid.
But ACT police say the death, which family say followed a long illness, is not regarded as suspicious.
“Gemma passed away on 17th November 2024 after a long battle with illness. Her family asks for privacy during this difficult time,’’ a family spokesperson said.
Professor Carey, who was once the Director of the Centre for Social Impact at UNSW, was married with a young child and had returned to work this year after a three-year leave of absence, from what she described as “vaccine induced long Covid”.
The young mother had written extensively on her health struggles with a vaccine injury and other illnesses and the need for people to wear masks to protect the immune-compromised.
Author and researcher Joshua Leisk took to social media this week claiming that she was diagnosed with a “severe staph infection in the GI tract, which turned into septicemia and hyper-coagulation, hypoxia”.
“It became an intense ordeal during this period and sleep had become challenging,’’ he wrote.
“However, you may know she was also terrified of getting Covid.”
He claimed a doctor telling her she may have long Covid from an infection six months earlier “tipped her over the edge”.
“In complete despair, she reached out a few hours later for information on voluntary assisted dying,’’ he claimed. The family has not commented on Mr Leisk’s claims.
Voluntary assisted dying will not be legal in Canberra until 2025 and the cause of death on November 17 is unknown. There is no suggestion Professor Carey died via voluntary assisted dying.
In a statement, ACT police said that police and ACT Ambulance Service paramedics were called to a residence in Dickson on 17 November 2024 following reports of an unconscious woman.
The woman was transported to hospital where she was declared deceased a short time later.
“The matter is not considered suspicious, and a report will be provided to the Coroner,’’ a spokesperson said.
Prof Carey has written extensively about Covid and for many months rarely left the house during Covid.
In October 2022, in a public Facebook post, she insisted that friends needed to understand that with Omicron, if you are not completely locked down that “you could kill me”.
“You … can… not… come… near .. me. Or anyone in my bubble,” she said.
“I am not vaccinated. I am high risk. You could kill me. Please do not come without 4 meters of me. And never indoors unless you just had a pcr test.”
Defamation threat
Professor Carey hit the headlines three years ago after sparking a $200,000 legal row after a tweet about former Attorney-General Christian Porter and journalist Peter Van Onselen sent legal letters flying.
Ms Carey made a nine-word tweet which then sparked the threat of defamation actions from Mr Porter and Professor van Onselen.
She later apologised with Van Onselen reposting screenshots of her original apology on his own Twitter account.
Professor Carey, who wrote in the disability space, said she had “lived with varying levels of physical disability, when her immune system attacked her nervous system”.
Horror miscarriage
Five years ago, Prof Carey shared her horrific birth story with Kidspot where she passed out from pain and claimed she was ignored by doctors during her first trimester.
“This weekend I was induced and gave birth to my dead baby with no proper pain relief,” she tweeted.
“I had to sort through a bucket”
“Had to sort through a bucket of my miscarriage with a doctor to look for baby bits (nurse threw them out), taken to surgery to get more baby bits for DNA testing,” she continued.
“Australia: your healthcare system,” she added.
“I passed out from the pain during labour but still they only offered panadeine forte,” she told Daily Telegraph.
“I didn’t understand I was consenting to no pain relief and they didn’t explain to me they were putting me into labour,” she said.
“The hospital only had one doctor on and no matter how hard the midwives tried, the doctor could not leave the ER. They’ve stripped hospitals to only have one doctor on and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one in pain that night.”
“We really wanted to do genetic testing because it was the second miscarriage but the (next) nurse came in and was not informed that we wanted to keep everything for the genetic tests,” she said.
The 35-year-old also said that her treatment for her first miscarriage at Canberra Hospital ER was even worse.
“The baby also had trisomy 13 (a condition resulting in severe physical deformities) so it would have been horrific for us. It was my private obstetrician from Sydney who called Canberra Hospital and said this is not how you do things and informed them to do a curette. And I refused to leave the hospital until they operated.
“It was poor medical practice and women are being sent home to go into labour at 12 weeks.”
Professor Carey is survived by her young son and her husband Ben.
