Age: 90.0
Sex: M
Vaccine: COVID19-2
Symptoms: Acute myocardial infarction, Anaemia, Arrhythmia, Asthenia, Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Clinical narrative: Pt. was admitted to a local Hospital on 1/7/2023 with weakness, UTI, some fluid in lungs and slightly elevated cardiac enzymes. Stayed in hospital (being given antibiotics) until discharged to an rehab facility on 1/10/2023. Remained at rehab facility until admitted back to the local Hospital on 1/20/2023 with Respiratory Distress (low Oxygen level, elevated pulse). Treated with Antibiotics for Pneumonia, and given Oxygen via Nasal Cannula. Tested NEGATIVE for Covid, RSV and Flu (did test positive for simple cold viruses eg. Rhinovirus). Discharged back to the Rehab facility on 1/24/2023. Pt. remained at the rehab facility, progressively deteriorating until he passed away on 2/6/2023. Symptoms (from what I, his daughter saw during second admission to the rehab facility): Confusion, Cough at various times (even though lungs were "clear"), fatigue, loss of appetite, swallowing issues (aspiration potential), profound and progressing weakness, especially of legs--needed two person assist to transfer, when prior had needed one simple assist when first admitted to the rehab facility, according to staff (prior to his subsequent readmission to the Hospital). At times, O2 level low and/or heart rate elevated (medication and eventually O2 was used to help). During his second admission to the rehab facility, several patients in nearby rooms (including his roommate) tested positive for Covid. He, however, continually tested NEGATIVE for Covid when tested many times during those days. He never did catch Covid, so maybe his "booster' prevented THAT, but he did, at the end of his long ordeal, pass away....  Diagnoses included: Malignant Neoplasm of Prostate; Acute Cystitis without Hematuria; Weakness; Non-ST Elevation (NSTEMI) Myocardial Infarction; Anemia, Unspecified; Metabolic Encephalopathy; Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms; Presence of Left Artificial Hip Joint; Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 3 Unspecified; Retention of Urine, Unspecified. (Also, his heart had been being monitored for some sort of arrhythmia [A-fib?].)  Personal Narrative: I am submitting this VAERS report, because several people in our family had suspected an adverse reaction to a prior Vaccine (J&J) which he had been given back on 4/2/2021 (see question # 23). 51 days later, having been found on the floor in his house by the police (on 5/23/2021), he was admitted to the hospital, and later rehab at these same facilities (Hospital and rehab facility), with extreme muscle weakness and symptoms that were very in line with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (Extreme weakness in his legs, "pins and needles", inability to walk, swallowing issues, loss of bladder control, etc.). However, he was diagnosed as having had Rhabdomyolysis. It became clear in the news at the time, that the J&J vaccine had been having GBS side effects. When reported by a family member to his primary care physician, he did not agree with the family's suspicions, and likely this case was never submitted to VAERS. That hospitalization/rehab stay lasted until his discharge on 7/9/2021. Prior to that hospitalization, he had been living independently at home. After that episode, he required a 24/7 hour live-in aide, was incontinent and wheelchair dependent. Thankfully, over the ensuing year and a half, he recovered to a large extent, with most of those disabilities being overcome in many ways, and he was on the verge of being able to live a bit more independently, perhaps with someone checking in now and then (but now he sadly experienced this insurmountable event).  Pt. did have one other booster prior to the current one in question, (Pfizer) on 12/1/2021, and although there were no glaring side effects, when looking back, he did have a period of fairly intense hip pain around 12/28/2021 (not quite four weeks after that booster), that thankfully resolved itself, and didn't need medical intervention. The current episode (explored in this VAERS report) involved the Moderna Bivalent booster. The symptoms and outcome were so similar to his first GBS type symptoms, that it seems best to report here. From his booster shot administration date, until the date he was admitted to the hospital was a total of 50 days, almost identical to the time it took for the first (J&J) vaccine to nearly kill him.  For this report, I reached out to the county and the organization that gave him the booster, as well as his primary care physician (to at least let them know he had passed away). Not only were they not aware of that, but I also asked if they had any policies or procedures for reporting adverse reactions, and none of them did. I think that may be one of the reasons why so few VAERS reports are submitted. It took so much effort to track all this info down, and to actually write the report. I have gladly done it in honor of my father's life, but think the medical professionals should have taken that responsibility on as a routine part of the administration of these products..  It seems that these shots are provided and injected into clients with so little oversight, and the recipients seem to only be monitored for a very short window of time, if even that. I HIGHLY suspect that these shots have long term ramifications, and my father is sadly no longer with us, likely due at LEAST in part to the effects of these products.  He had been a VERY strong person physically, and seemed puzzled that his body would not respond when he was trying to recover. Of course, he was elderly, and I realize no one lives forever here on earth. I do feel, however, that he would have had at least a few more wonderful years to spend, with visits from his children and grandchildren, if this whole Covid fear and vaccine spiral had not happened.  I think a lot of well meaning medical professionals are giving shots to people, thinking they are doing a good thing, and assuming that their clients are progressing well in their lives, and never even realizing how much disability and death those same shots are likely causing. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would hope whoever will eventually read this will at least ponder that possibility, and put an end to these "vaccines" and "boosters" before more people become disabled or lose their lives.   Originally, these Covid measures were put in place to "protect our grandmas and grandpas". It seems they have actually, in may ways, done the exact opposite, sadly. Thank you for letting me have at least some place to report this.
