A University of Cambridge graduate who died after refusing chemotherapy told a court before her death that she was anti-vax, taking health advice from her mother, an inquest has heard.
Cambridge graduate and model Paloma Shemirani died last July after refusing conventional cancer treatments for her treatable non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of blood cancer.
Her mother, Kay 'Kate' Shemirani, was a notorious anti-vaxxer who was struck off the UK's nursing register in 2021 for her extreme anti-medicine views, including discouraging the use of masks and vaccines during Covid.
She rose to prominence on social media while sharing Covid-19 conspiracy theories, the inquest at Oakwood House in Maidstone, Kent, heard previously.
In written statements submitted to the family division of the High Court in Spring 2024, Paloma described herself as 'anti-vax' and that she declined chemotherapy partly because of her 'background in natural healing', the inquest heard on Monday.
