A teenager who survived cancer died of coronavirus after her mother took her to a church ‘Covid party’ where none of the 100 guests wore masks.

Carsyn Davis, 17, died in Miami, Florida, last month, and her mother Carole Brunton Davis has since been condemned for taking her to the celebration that lacked social distancing.

The party was called a ‘release party’ on Facebook, promising a DJ, music and games, but data scientist Rebekah Jones said on her Florida Covid victims website that it was a Covid party. She accused the mother of taking Carsyn ‘to intentionally expose her immuno-compromised daughter to this virus.’

Speaking to Newsweek, Jones added: ‘I started looking into her mother, the church where the Covid party was held with more than 100 children, her health history, and who she was and I felt so angry and sad that this happened.’

Jones worked as a statistician for the State of Florida, and claims she was fired after refusing to massage coronavirus figures to make its leaders look better. She has since taken to chronicling the outbreak independently online.

It is unclear whether Carsyn ultimately contracted Covid-19 at the church party, and while a medical examiner confirmed her attendance in their death report, they did not say whether the event had been held to deliberately expose attendees to the virus.

Brunton Davis has yet to respond to the allegations against her, according to The Washington Post. The mother posted an emotional tribute to Carsyn on a GoFundMe page after her teen’s death, writing: ‘Even through the ravages of Covid, fighting to breathe, she never once shed a tear, complained or expressed fear.’

Brunton Davis is also said to have attacked efforts to get people to wear a mask in a bid to slow the spread of coronavirus in a now-deleted Facebook page believed to have belonged to her.

Carsyn, who was obese and suffered from a nervous-system disorder, was taken to the First Youth Church in Fort Myers on June 10 to attend a ‘Release Party.’ A Facebook promo for the bash said: ‘Service is back and better than ever!

‘There will be games, awesome giveaways, free food, a DJ and music, and the start of our new sermon series. ‘

After attending the party, Carsyn’s parents gave her the antibiotic azithromycin as a preventative treatment between June 10 and June 15. She is said to have developed a headache and mild cough while on that drug.

Brunton Davis noticed her daughter ‘looked gray’ as she slept on June 19, so hooked her up to an oxygen supply belonging to her grandfather, who has a heart condition.

Carsyn’s parents also gave her hydroxychloroquine. The anti-malarial drug was touted as a potential treatment by Donald Trump when combined with azithromycin, with the president himself even taking a precautionary course of it.

That came despite trials showing the drug could actually increase the risk of death if given to coronavirus patients. Carsyn’s parents took her to their local hospital shortly after the hydroxychloroquine failed to improve her health.

She was transferred to a specialist pediatric intensive care unit, where the teen’s parents initially refused to put her on a ventilator. Carsyn instead began receiving a plasma infusion, which sees the plasma of a person who has beaten coronavirus injected into a seriously-ill sufferer to try and boost their health.

When that treatment also failed, she was put on a ventilator, and continued to decline until her death on June 23, two days after her 17th birthday.

Writing on GoFundMe after her daughter’s death, Brunton said: ‘We are incredibly saddened by her passing at this young age, but are comforted that she is pain free.’

Scientists including White House immunologist Dr Anthony Fauci have expressed horror over the politicization of mask-wearing and the coronavirus crisis itself.

Protesters in hard-hit states including Florida have hit out at new laws ordering face-coverings to be worn in public places, claiming it is an imposition on their freedom.

The Sunshine State has seen more than 214,000 Covid-19 diagnoses – more than half of which were recorded in the last fortnight. Close to 3,500 people have died there with the disease.
