Additional Information: Warm transfer from (Name withheld) with Pfizer Rx. Has a caller on the line with an AE to the Pfizer Covid vaccine. Patient and his wife are on the line together. Wife said he had a reaction to the serum on 25Mar2021. Got another Covid-19 booster and had the same reaction on 09Sep2021. Reaction was swelling in his feet. Was on a ventilator for 30 days last August2022 after catching Covid-19. Now he has a heart problem that needs to be fixed. Looking for compensation. Had adverse reactions to the first Covid shot. His right foot swelled up and he couldn't put pressure on it. Couldn't put shoes on or anything. On 09Sep2021, he got the booster and the same thing happened with the foot. It swelled up and everything. He ended up getting covid anyway and on 08Aug2022, the ambulance had to come get him. His whole body shook said he had a slight heart attack, covid, and pneumonia. Had all three at the same time. Put him on a vent for almost 30 days. Could not walk when they released him from the hospital. Everything was shutting down at the time. He almost died. Doctor said his kidneys and everything were shutting down because the heart wasn't pumping blood the way it should have. Could not walk after leaving the hospital. They took him to a nursing home/ rehab center directly from the hospital. He didn't know anyone for 30 days from being on the vent. Wasn't nice at the nursing home, the food was bad, he kept losing weight, didn't have much muscle system. He went from 177lbs to 152lbs, had no strength to get up on his own. Someone had to help him to go the bathroom and everything. Was supposed to get him a wheelchair or walker or something. Didn't get that. Had to go down the drug store and get him some cane holders to use with some canes they already had. Couldn't walk without having something to hold him up. Didn't have any muscle control. Would take 6 weeks for him to get a wheelchair or walker through Medicare. Never got the equipment. Did their own rehab at the house. Got one of those cubic and used a high protein drink because protein builds muscle up and he is walking now. Nursing home did nothing for him the three weeks he was in there after the hospital. She couldn't got to the hospital during those 30 days because he was on the ventilator. His electrolytes were low because he lost his fluids. He couldn't keep any food down before the ambulance came to get him, not even water or crushed ice. When he got to the hospital, his electrolytes were very low, oxygen was low, kidneys were shutting down. He is lucky to be alive. Did turn in the VAERS on 29Sep2021. Has a lot of bills from the hospital and nursing home. Insurance wouldn't pay 100%. Leftovers are still thousands of dollars to the hospital, nursing home, and the ambulance. After the shots, they did call and tell Pfizer about the feet swelling up and couldn't put shoes on. Need help to pay for some of these bills. Shocking that the vaccine didn't do what it was supposed to do. Still has heart problems. He is not well. Sees a cardiologist that saw him while he was on the vent. He doesn't remember seeing her because he was on the vent. Went to her for a follow up. Went to give him a stress test on Wednesday and could possibly put a stent in there because he had a slight heart attack and a possible blockage of some kind. May have to go do a procedure to see if there are any blockages. Kidneys had shut down and everything. They want to do more procedures even after he has left hospital and nursing home. Had to walk with two canes. Insurance did not send him a wheelchair or walker to go home with. Called the place to order it through and said it would be 6 weeks. Gained most of his weight back now. It was $300 for the machine that he used to pedal and gain muscles back with. She got everything herself from the drugstore.
