US Congressman Sean Casten just revealed the cause of his daughter’s sudden death, confirming that Gwen Casten did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine!
Claim : Gwen Casten suffered Sudden Death from vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that the Gwen Casten died suddenly in her sleep, anti-vaccination activists started claiming that the 17 year-old daughter of US Congressman Sean Casten died from vaccine-induced Sudden Adult Death Syndrome!
Here is a selection of social media posts accompanying links or articles on her death:
Fully vaccinated is why she died of Sudden Cardiac Arrhythmia all of a sudden this has become reason for Deaths since COVID-19 vaccines started SO ITS THE CAUSE
Gwen Casten, 17, has died. To Senator Casten, this is a terrible, heartbreaking day. Her Twitter account has been scrubbed of all of her Covid tweets, and her vaccine tweets. If you think my post is cruel, learn how to use VAERS.
It’s called SIDS in babies – didn’t exist pre vaccine no liability clause/ increase in jabs on the schedule.
Shld we expect more babies to die suddenly in their sleep?

Truth : Vaccine SADS was NOT cause of death for Gwen Casten!
It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Gwen Casten Died Of Sudden Cardiac Arrhythmia
Gwen Casten passed away in her sleep on Monday, June 13, 2022 at her home in Chicago, Illinois.
At that time, her family did not reveal any cause of death, allowing anti-vaccination activists like tech millionaire Steve Kirsch to claim that she died from the COVID-19 vaccine.
That changed on Friday, October 7 when the Casten family issued a statement, revealing that Gwen died of a sudden cardiac arrhythmia – an irregular heart beat that caused her heart to stop.
The truth is finally revealed – the cause of death for Gwen Casten was sudden heart failure caused by a cardiac arrhythmia, not the COVID-19 vaccine.
Gwen was a healthy 2022 teenager. She ate well, exercised, got regular check-ups, didn’t suffer from any behavioral health issues, and had close relationships with family and friends. She was fully vaccinated, and quarantined after occasional positive, asymptomatic COVID tests during the omicron wave. She had just come home from an evening with friends, went to bed and didn’t wake up.
We are heartbroken, but we are not unique. Sudden, unexplained heart-failure among young, healthy people is rare but real. We are left grasping at the wrong end of random chance.
We are grateful for the outpouring of love we’ve received over these past months. We’ve cried again over each of your letters, messages, meals, and flowers, but they are appreciated. We are also grateful for the donations to the Downers Grove North Friends of Fine Arts and March for Our Lives, causes that Gwen was actively engaged in during high school. It is a comfort to know how many lives Gwen touched over her 17 years.
She had a big, beautiful, kind, loving heart. And it stopped, as all must.
None of us know when our last heartbeat will come. The best we can hope for is that when our loved ones do pass, we will have no regrets about the time we were lucky enough to share.
So hug the folks you love a little harder today. Be present in their lives. And spread your love a little farther. Because in the end, it’s all that remains.

Fact #2 : Gwen Casten Was Healthy Before Her Sudden Death
As the Casten family pointed out – Gwen had regular check-ups and was healthy before her sudden death.
That tells us that she was not suffering from vaccine-related side effects like myocarditis or pericarditis, which would have left her breathless and fatigued, with chest pains, etc.
Despite what anti-vaccination activists claim, COVID-19 vaccines do not cause people to suddenly die in their sleep.
Fact #3 : Vaccine Protected Gwen Casten
Gwen Casten was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, and her family pointed out that it protected her against the coronavirus.
When she was infected during the Omicron wave, her earlier vaccination not only protected her against severe illness, she was asymptomatic.
Fact #4 : SUDC / SUDIC Existed Long Before COVID-19 Vaccines
Anti-vaccination activists falsely claim that sudden unexplained death in young people and children never occurred before COVID-19 vaccines.
Children who appear perfectly healthy can and do die for no known reason. Such unexplained deaths in children are common enough that there is a term for it – Sudden Unexplained Death In Childhood (SUDC / SUDIC).
SUDC is most prevalent in toddlers (1-4 years old) and children in their late teens (15-19 years old). Nearly all children with SUDC were sleeping before becoming unresponsive, and were in state of usual good health.
The United States alone reported approximately 400 cases of SUDC every single year, before COVID-19 vaccines were invented or administered.
Globally, over 50,000 children in good health die suddenly every year, for unknown reasons, long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.
SUDC statistics for England and Wales from 2011 to 2020 showed NO INCREASE in SUDC cases, clearly demonstrating that COVID-19 vaccines did not increase the prevalence of SUDC.
Fact #5 : SADS Is An Inherited Heart Condition
It is ludicrous to claim that COVID-19 vaccines cause sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), because SADS was first documented in 1977 – long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented!
Despite what anti-vaccination activists may tell you – SADS is not a new vaccine-related syndrome.
SADS is an inherited problem with your heart’s electrical system, which produces an abnormal heart rhythm that leads to a cardiac arrest. That’s why it can be prevented by implanting a cardioverter-defribillator.
SADS also occurs at a rate of 0.12 to 0.21 per 100,000 people every single year. In other words, approximately 9,000 to 16,000 people die from SADS every single year, before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented.
The UK Office for National Statistics data on Sudden Adult Deaths from 2016 to 2020 also showed NO INCREASE in SADS cases, demonstrating that COVID-19 vaccines did not increase the prevalence of SADS.
Note : There is no 2021 data until sometime in December 2022. The 2020 data was only released on 22 December 2021.
Vaccination in the United Kingdom started on 8 December 2020, with over a million doses administered by end of the month. Despite (false) claims that the vaccines cause SADS, that did not result in an increase in SADS cases.
| Years | Sudden Adult Death Syndrome Cases |
| 2016 | 116 |
| 2017 | 63 |
| 2018 | 53 |
| 2019 | 87 |
| 2020 | 115 |
Fact #6 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Gwen Casten died about a year after her last COVID-19 vaccination. She cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.
Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Fact #7 : Deaths / Injuries From COVID-19 Vaccines Can Be Proven
Gwen Casten obviously underwent an autopsy for her cause of death to be confirmed to be sudden heart failure from a cardiac arrhythmia. It would have revealed if an earlier vaccine injury caused her death in some way.
Despite anti-vaccination activists chalking up celebrity deaths to the vaccine; death or injury from rare vaccine adverse effects like anaphylaxis, myocarditis and VITT can be proven.
Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) from Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines happens within minutes. That’s why people are asked to wait for 15-30 minutes after getting the vaccine. People who get an anaphylactic shock will require an epinephrine shot to quickly relieve it.
Vaccine-induced myocarditis has distinct histopathology findings that are different from typical myocarditis, so a pathologist will be able to determine if the myocarditis was caused by the vaccines or otherwise.
Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT) is very specific to the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. It is also easily differentiated by its unique combination of blood clots in large veins of the brains, abdomen and lungs, together with low platelet counts leading to bleeding tendencies.

Fact #8 : COVID-19 Vaccines Proven Safe + Effective
COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.
In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.
Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines are not only safe, they are effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.
Even prominent antivaxxer Steve Kirsch is healthy and well, despite being fully-vaccinated against COVID-19!
Fact #9 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing celebrity deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of celebrity deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.

I’m sure that the massive increase in young people dying of heart related deaths has nothing to do with the gene modification shot. Don’t waste your time looking into the bizarre correlation between deaths and shots. The news and government assure us that there isn’t any links, regardless of how strong the data suggests
It’s very easy to be “sure” about things you know nothing about, and most certainly cannot prove.
Car accidents have been going up too. Does that mean the vaccines cause car accidents?
Correlation does not imply causation. Read up on that, before you comment further.
And the hubris in openly lying about the vaccine – that’s something special only to antivaxxers.
We all know that the mRNA vaccines do NOT modify our genes. Why do you need to lie about that?
Shame your parents didn’t teach you better.
