Additional information: The reporter was reported about received first Covid-19 vaccination shot on 10Apr2021 (lot number 040B21A). The patient had second Covid- 19 vaccination shot was on 08May2021 (lot number 004C21A). At the time of the inoculations.He was a very healthy 60-year-old male. The first shot didn't bother me at all. The second shot gave me typical flu-like symptoms that lasted for a couple days. The patient had been warned about this. Eleven hours after the second shot. The reporter commenced a Very difficult next twelve hours. He slowly improved over the next couple days. On the fifth day, when he assumed he would be completely recovered. The patient suffered from a violent vertigo episode that lasted for a couple hours. This marked the beginning of my long period of vaccine injury which has still not abated as of the date of this letter. He was not warned about this possibility.The patient stated Over the next several months (to present) . He had been suffering 1) at worst from random vertigo episodes (l seem to get vertigo every month or so without warning) and 2) at best from a constant feeling of lightheadedness, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, loud tinnitus, sensitivity to light, etc. This was a constant feeling. It doesn't come and go. This condition has severely limited my ability to live. I used to be extremely active and very fit because I worked out every day and played sports. He also enjoyed a nice social life. Now the most patient can did was force myself to go for a daily Walk. Walking is a Very unpleasant. The patient was experience now because my vestibular system had been compromised by your vaccine. When walking, it feels as though my brain was floating off-balance inside my skull. Daily living errands like grocery shopping are challenging, but had to do them from time to time. Attempting to do consulting work was impossible because it was very difficult to focus on anything for any length of time. He can't socialize because engaging in conversation elevates all the vaccine side effect symptoms after just five or ten minutes. The patient can't drive more than 20 minutes so He had been stuck at home for half a year. Patient direct your attention to an internet forum that he discovered (see below): (link withheld) . The last time patient looked, the site above had over 670 pages of entries related to vaccination injuries to the vestibular system. The entries just keep growing. It appears that the vast majority of the entries on the site are related to the Moderna Vaccine, some to Pfizer and a small minority to Johnson and Johnson. Not all the symptoms are exactly the same, but just paging through them. The reporter was found an incredible number of people suffering in the same manner as me. It was a relief to find such a site because initially most people, including medical professionals, were not taking me seriously. This was a devastating problem for me and many others. The had improved measurably over the half year since my second shot. We are only given one life and your vaccine has destroyed mine. The patient no idea if patient will ever return to how patient used to feel before having the vaccination. This was causing me incredible anxiety. The reporter certainly didn't care to live the rest of whatever time .The patient had left on this earth in this condition. Your vaccine had taken my life away. In addition to the fact that this adverse side effect seems to be under-reported (in an effort to encourage the nation/world to get the vaccination and slow this pandemic), the medical profession seems pretty clueless on how to treat it. He had been to plenty of doctors for help and I) they don't have any solutions and 2) they don't seem to collaborate with one another to attempt to find a solution. The medical community also doesn't seem to treat this vaccine side-effect as a priority to be studied despite admitting that they have seen numerous patients with the same vaccine side-effect symptoms. The patient reaching out to the developer of the vaccine for help. If he could take another shot to cancel out the impact of your vaccine and return myself to my original condition (and remain susceptible to the Covid-19 virus). He would do it without pause. The side effects patient suffering were life altering and debilitating. I need some help. He would appreciate it if someone with experience with vestibular side effects from this Covid-19 vaccine would reach out to me at the address or email listed above. This side- effect needs to be addressed because it was very serious was impacting a great number of people who took the vaccine in the spirit of helping their neighbors stay safe. Now many people like me have destroyed our own health by taking your vaccine.   No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
