He had delirium, hallucinations, and constantly did not know where he was due to great confusion. After 8 days in the hospital, he had to go to rehab for 8 days to learn how to walk all over again. The hospital, after testing him over and over again, decided that the vaccine was the cause of his symptoms. His mental symptoms took 5 days to clear.  He took his second shot on 6 Mar 2021, and this time he  was admitted to the ICU due to his symptoms returning 10 fold from the first time he experienced it.

She states that she believes the vaccine affected the frontal lobe of his brain,  even though both CT scans can through as clear. She discloses the Hospital will not do a MRI for her father since the two CT scans came back clear. She also mentions that he is still reaching for  things and eating things that are not there, she mentions he is very weak and her biggest worry is that this time, he won't come back to her mentally like he did the first time due to the severity of the symptoms. She believes that because he had the disease for so long, his body has built antibodies to it and he probably was not a good candidate to receive the vaccine.
