Additional information: At beginning when Covid first started, would say like in the middle of Apr2020, caller got the 1st shot, caller does landscaping work and didn't want to transmit the virus, so took 1st shot when it first came out, nothing happened to him with that first shot, then decided to take 2nd shot, took 2nd shot (thinks was 2 weeks after 1st dose) around mid day and fever started in afternoon around 5 or 6PM, started feeling weak, feeling bad. That night had the worst fever ever and was shivering, dealt with, was shaking the night after took 2nd shot, went to bed early, shaking. Had really high fever. Next day woke up, lost his taste and smell and with respect to smell, was told that would be normal because of shot, probably true, so let time go by and see if goes. Also felt food didn't taste right, everything tasted like eating metal or something, but with time as time went by, began to pick up taste a little more, but the smell up until time of report (today) cannot smell anything. His sense of smell is still nonexistent. Getting to point where sometimes feels like really can't smell anymore, feels like going through depression, cannot smell, can't smell anything, happened a few times where can't really smell so caller starts to cry, doesn't feel right, wishes could get smell back. Doesn't know want to do, doesn't have money to go to doctor, doesn't know what to do. He cannot differentiate any perfumes. He is beginning to feel depressed and feels anxiety because of this. Asks what he can do to get his smell back. He is afraid to take 3rd, scared, doesn't want to do that anymore. He doesn't drink any medicines, is a pretty healthy guy. Thinks got taste back a lot, but not smell, smell is not working.it is reported as everything started because of that vaccine. No prior vaccinations within 4 weeks, second shot was the last time caller was ever poked with a needle.  The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 will be requested and submitted if and when received.
