He has a caller on the other line who is a consumer, and she already reported the symptoms that she had from the Pfizer COVID vaccine for her 1st dose to the transfer agent. She got the 1st dose of the COVID vaccine on 29APR2021 and after a few days she developed 4 bruises around her left arm where she got the injection. Her second dose is scheduled on 21MAY2021. According to her she is taking a blood thinner, aspirin, and she also had a heart attack earlier this year. The caller was just asking if she can have the second shot since she had these symptoms and if this is a normal side effect of the COVID vaccine. Caller clarified that she had a heart attack in 2018 and she was on blood thinners after her heart attack, but her doctor took her off them last year, well actually it wasn't last year. She came off them in the early part of this year, 2021, because she was scared to come off the blood thinners because of the COVID hit in 2020 so she continued taking them and she came off them after she was able to go back to the doctor and see them. Her doctor told her to stop taking the blood thinner and she hasn't taken anymore in about 2 to 3 months. Would that still be in her system She wants to know if she will be able to take the 2nd shot. That's what she was concerned about. Will she bruise, have a bump or have a rash if she gets the 2nd dose Caller says that medical information transferred her to DSU to answer this question for her. She just wants to know if she will be okay because she had a mild case of COVID and she just doesn't want to go back into that situation again. That's why she took the COVID vaccine, but if she is going to bruise up like this, is it mandatory for the second dose or is it okay for her to take the second dose. Will she be alright. She says that she doesn't want to go back and forth being transferred. She said she will call her doctor after this phone call with the DSU agent. She doesn't want to go to the emergency clinic for them to just see a little bit of bruising but the only reason she was calling is because her daughter in law said that she didn't know that the caller was going to bruise like that. The caller is trying to convince them to go get the COVID vaccine so that they can be secure in their household but if she got that bruise from it then she thinks that they won't go through and take it. She was the first one that tried to get it done out of her household. Caller says that she goes to the hospital for her treatments and for her primary care but there is no telling who she might get as a doctor when she goes over there. Declined name, phone number and email. She says Pfizer can contact the hospital if they want to because she is about to as well. She said that the bruises showed up a couple days after she had the vaccine because her daughter in law first told her that she was bruised but she didn't pay much attention to it. The caller told her daughter in law that since she just got the COVID vaccine that she was going to be a little bruised from it, that's what the paper said. So, she left it alone and then this morning what made her call in is that her daughter in law said that the bruise is going down her arm and that she is bruised in more than just 1 spot. Caller says that she changed shirts and she then saw the bruises, but she also knows that her arm stayed sore for 3 days. She took Tylenol for it, and it is not sore now just bruised. She has no more soreness in her arm, she can move it around, but the first three days she couldn't do anything or even lift it to change night clothes. She didn't pay much attention until she saw the bruises going down her arm and she noticed that she has more than one bruise. Where the nurse shot her at it is black and blue and under it on the sides and right in the back in the same area she is bruised. Also she has had blurriness in her vision that started yesterday and she had it early this morning but it was like blackness going across her eyes on the right side. That's why she said as soon as she is off the phone with this DSU agent she is going to call the doctor for an appointment either today or tomorrow, but probably tomorrow. Caller says that the blurriness is coming and going. She really is not saying that she is sick, sick but she is just concerned about the bruises and if they will heal up. Because she had a mild case of the COVID at least that's what they said when she went to the hospital. She is an asthma patient and she couldn't really get her breath and she knew that she hadn't had an asthma treatment so she went to get one from the hospital and that's when they sent her butt home and told her to quarantine. She stayed sick for a month and a half, and it doesn't ever go away because she still has symptoms even after her quarantine. It is because they don't give you medicine for it. She was using her home remedies like honey, lemon, vitamin C and vitamin D to get her immune system up to par. She decided to go ahead and get the shot because she doesn't want that no more. You don't heal up from that, her smell never came back properly, and her taste never came back like it was before. That's why she decided to go ahead and get the COVID vaccine. Also, she has a 92-year-old mother who she hasn't seen, and she wants to be able to hug her and tell her she loves her. She didn't get the COVID vaccine because of word of mouth, it was because of her and her health and what she needs to do for herself.
