A baby girl tragically drowned in three inches of bathwater at home in Christchurch in Dorset, England, after her mother suffered an adverse reaction following her Covid-19 vaccination, an inquest has heard.
Lawyer Louise Atkinson passed out while bathing her nine-month-old baby girl, Eleanor “Ellie,” a day after receiving her first dose of the Oxford-Astrazeneca vaccine.
According to multiple reports, Atkinson’s husband found the mother unresponsive in the bathroom, and Ellie was ‘blue’ and face down in the bathwater when he came home from a trip to the dentist.

Her husband James came home from a trip to the dentist and pushed open the bathroom door to discover it had been blocked by his unresponsive wife on the floor.
To his horror, he saw their baby daughter face down in the bath turning blue.
Mr Atkinson picked her out of the water and woke his wife by grabbing hold of her. He then laid Ellie on the bathroom floor where he began CPR while calling 999 on speakerphone.
Mr Atkinson, a business manager, carried on the resuscitation attempts until the emergency services arrived six minutes later at their £500,000 home in Christchurch, Dorset.
Ellie was flown by helicopter to Southampton General Hospital, Hampshire, but was pronounced dead four hours later on March 23, 2021.
It is not known for how long Ellie was submerged before Mr Atkinson found her, although it could have been as long as 30 minutes.
