In the last year of her life, the actress had become an advocate for a disease called ME/CFS (Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome). The incurable and chronic neurological disease had taken hold of her life.

She left a long message to her friends and family before her assisted suicide in Switzerland.

“Hi guys, over the last ten days, I became severely ill again, homebound unable to do much. My body is too weak to fight this illness, and I have no more strength,” she wrote, clearly defeated. Then she dropped the bombshell.

“So I decided to end my life at Pegasos association in Switzerland,” the Mindy Project actress confessed.

The actress detailed that she believes the pandemic illness, the vaccine, or as many call it, the jab had everything to do with her chronic disease. “I was diagnosed with untreatable chronic neurological illness ME/CFS caused by booster jab on top of having suspected respiratory ALS.”

She continued. “This illness made me disabled, unable to work or have a social life, and enjoy life altogether.” For Pavelek, the symptoms were getting worse when a flare took place. She couldn’t deal any longer.

“Breathing has become more and more difficult and painful for me, and my lung function has been declining.”

The actress sadly said her goodbyes in anticipation of her passing.

“Thank you for all your friendship and support over the last year. The booster jab I received over a year ago destroyed my health, body, and life completely. There is no way to end my suffering other than my decision.”

Pavelek’s friends and fans rushed to the comments to beg the actress not to take her life. They were unfortunately too late.

“People can detox from these shots. EDTA chelation is one of these such therapies. Dr. Ana Mihalcea has a practice of this. Other things are being done holistically that are working. Please don’t let a doctor’s diagnosis determine your decision. God knows the number of our days and will give you what you need to live them out if you trust in Jesus,” encouraged one fan three weeks too late.

Others supported her decision; some claimed to have seen her struggles firsthand. “The worst outcome from taking a vaccine she didn’t even want to take just to work. Heartbreaking.”

The confession from Pavelek has followers needing verification in the form of a death certificate or something solid because it is so unbelievable to them. “Has anyone verified that she is dead and this post isn’t just to get attention?”

Another follower was curious as well and wanted to see “definitive” proof that this took place because Switzerland has its laws around assisted suicide, and it’s not as easy as everything thinks.

We assure you, the news is true, and friends and family are mourning the late actress and upset that she was “forced” to make this decision.

“Hi, Kat. I always enjoyed our text convos and how we stayed in touch. I was so happy to see you recovering, and I feel terrible I didn’t message you back before I saw your post. This all makes me so sick. You were always so kind. I hate how you were forced to jab to work; shame on you, @sagaftra. You are courageous. Always. Godspeed.”
