NEW YORK — Brooklyn defense attorney and television commentator Midwin Charles is dead after what appears to be several days of suffering after receiving at least one experimental shot.

Ms. Charles posted the trendy “I’m vaccinated” announcement on Twitter on March 1.

The tweet is still live as of publishing. It is also archived. Her next tweet jokes about her “death causing peanut allergy” and that her insurance did not cover the EpiPen costs.

She then retweeted a North Carolina professor talking about “black vax hesitancy.” An analysis of her tweet activity thereafter indicates that her health started deteriorating three weeks later.

Ms. Charles, 47, was always very active on Twitter. She averaged about 25 tweets per day since May 2009. Ms. Charles was even more active last month. She averaged 39 tweets/retweets per day from March 10 to March 20, according to Social Blade.Those were her last days of good health.

She tweeted only nine times on Sunday, March 21. Keep in mind, her second dose of experimental mRNA would have been due around March 20-21. She tweeted four times on the 22nd, and 10 on the 23rd. She tweeted only once on March 24 and again once March 25. One tweet was deleted on March 26.

There was no further activity until Tuesday, April 6 when the family announced she died, 37 days after the first announced experimental shot.

This dramatic change in social media behavior suggests she was unable to tweet for over 12 days before passing away. Perhaps she was hospitalized after the second shot. That or she died in late March after the second shot and the family is just now announcing it. Regardless, she has gained 1,163 new Twitter followers today. She gained 481 total in the prior 30 days.
