“Most people, they don’t want to believe that vaccines can kill someone. That’s why I wanted a report,” she said.
Grandmother Jacobs, 60, of Washington County, died less than two weeks after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
“We can all probably name at least one person who has passed through covid, and so that response is, ‘Oh my god, I’m so sorry.’ However, when you say that my mother died from the vaccine, the reaction is not the same. It has certainly been met with a lot of skepticism,” said Streeter-Byrne.

Jacobs started experiencing headache, nausea, and chest pain shortly after taking the single-dose shot. Her doctor prescribed over-the-counter pain medication.
When she did not come to work or log on remotely, a concerned friend found her body inside her house.

Streeter-Byrne said she remembers the little things the most.
“If you have a question about something, you call your mom. But I don’t, I can’t call my mom,” she said. “A loss is a loss. So, if someone dies from COVID, it is as bad as someone who dies from a vaccine. So just trying to remember their human side because I don’t know that a lot of people are still doing that.”
Jacobs had some underlying health problems, including multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and obesity.
