James Freeland: His Mother Died 48 Hours After Her Second COVID Shot

With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: James Freeland Testimony

Allan and Corri revisit James Freeland's heartbreaking testimony from the Allison Inquiry about the death of his mother, Donna Lee Stevens Freeland. James says his mother received her second COVID-19 vaccine on July 5, began feeling seriously ill within minutes, and died two days later. He recounts her worsening symptoms, the advice he says the family received when seeking medical help, and a hospital doctor's explanation that she suffered a “hard hit to the heart.” James says his request for an autopsy was refused, leaving him without a clear understanding of what caused her death. Overcome with grief, he describes losing the woman who raised him alone, the struggle to obtain answers, and the devastating impact on his family. Allan and Corri reflect on his testimony, the importance of investigating unexplained deaths, and the responsibility to treat grieving families with compassion.
