Vaccine Side Effects and Personal Stories

So I had my, yes, I had my first vaccine in April of

2021. I chose AstraZeneca.

Okay. And then on June 18th, 2021, you got a second

shot, which was Pfizer. Can you tell us,

did anything happen that day?

I got sick right away,

and it was flu symptoms.

My lymph nodes on the right side of my neck swelled up,

and I had a really high fever. I started getting

pain in my brain, and it was extreme pain, and it was

so bad that... I call it fire in my brain.

I have it to this day.

Um,

it was so bad at first. Um, I was vomiting a lot.

The pain is, it's just a really

strong burning sensation, and it's all over my

head. Half of my face was paralyzed.

My eye was paralyzed open,

so I had to patch it.

I was experiencing some hearing loss and

balance issues. I was experiencing numbness on the

left side of my face, and I was worried that it was gonna spread to my

eye, and I wouldn't be able to see.

And then, um, also, I, my understanding is, is you lost the

ability to swallow. You had to learn to chew your food again

and how to

swallow again?

Yeah. I had lost a lot of weight and, um, they were really

concerned because

this,

uh, paralyzation comes down my throat, and actually to about

here in my shoulder and my back. Um,

I've gotten stronger, um, but the symptoms

are the same as day one.

The memory loss is the, the hardest one right now, um,

for me.

My youngest never went back to school. We still do homeschool.

He's in grade 11 now.

He suffers with severe migraines.

He also had Pfizer.

My mother got a booster.

She developed turbo cancer and died a year into my injury.

She was diagnosed with cancer

shortly after she got shingles from her booster, and she

died before she saw her first oncologist.
