DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): On an unknown date, X-ray: In June he got back x-rays. He says he has blockage of nerves going into his legs..     For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Unknown), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments.   It was reported that A month after the second injection he had a year of paralysis and Guillain-Barre which had gone away a bit. Now when his little boy was sick around him he gets inflamed. He used to ride a bike but now he could not even cut his grass with a mower. His life had changed. He has pain in the base of his spine. In June he got back x-rays. He says he has blockage of nerves going into his legs. Now he wants to know what to do. He's very upset and feels like he was lied to. It was the worst mistake he was made. Some days he was perfectly fine. He gets pain all over the place. Any place he was previously injured he gets inflamed like his chest and shoulders. Slight very base on the side of his left hand back there was weakness. There was nothing wrong in his x-rays. He feels like it inflamed his spinal cord and now he had pain down his legs. He wants to know if there was a reversal of this. He talked to VAERS and made a report. He sees his doctor tomorrow. Doctor said he did not had Guillain-Barre. He had not ride a bike since he got the second shot two years ago. He can be in pain for 10 days at a time. He could not run or pick up anything because he was inflamed. He feels like he was conned or tricked. He had COVID-19 for two months at a time. That was gone now and he could breathe again after the pneumonia. He stated if I can get a lawyer I would.

Company comment: This spontaneous case concerns a 67-year-old male patient, with no medical history reported, who experienced the serious (medically significant) and unexpected events of PARALYSIS and COVID-19 PNEUMONIA (among other non-serious events). A month after the second dose of mrNA-1273 vaccine, he had a year of paralysis and experienced pain in the base of his spine and felt blockage of nerves of the legs. He had pain all over, and any place that was previously injured got inflamed, making it difficult to ride a bike or even cut the grass. X-rays were performed with no findings and Guillain-Barre was ruled out by the doctor. He also had COVID-19 for two months with pneumonia, which has improved (onset was not reported; hence, latency to the first or second dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine could not be properly assessed). He took aspirin occasionally to relieve pain. No further clinical information was available for medical review. The benefit-risk relationship of mRNA-1273 is not affected by this report.; Sender's Comments: This spontaneous case concerns a 67-year-old male patient, with no medical history reported, who experienced the serious (medically significant) and unexpected events of PARALYSIS and COVID-19 PNEUMONIA (among other non-serious events).
