‘Because of some stupid pandemic…': Son's heartbreaking testimony shocks COVID vaccine inquiry panel

James Freeland delivered an emotional testimony before the Allison Inquiry on September 9, 2026, recounting the death of his mother, Donna Lee Stephen Freeland, two days after her second COVID-19 vaccine dose. He described how she felt unwell after leaving the clinic, the difficulties surrounding hospital admission, and the circumstances leading up to her death. No autopsy was authorized, and no doctor linked her death to the vaccine. Freeland also revealed that he still keeps his mother's ashes at home.
