A 75-year-old male patient received BNT162b2 omicron (kp.2) (COMIRNATY (2024-2025 FORMULA)), on 24Feb2025 as dose 1, single (Lot number: LN0591) at the age of 75 years for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "COVID-19 " (unspecified if ongoing), notes: Between 16Jan2024 and 07Aug2024 ; "pneumonia" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: twice, between 16Jan2024 and 07Aug2024 ; "swallowing issues" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: with feeding tube in his belly. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: SLEEP DISORDER (non-serious) with onset Mar2025, outcome "unknown", described as "being deprived of his night"; BALANCE DISORDER (non-serious) with onset Mar2025, outcome "unknown", described as "high risk of losing balance"; VISION BLURRED (non-serious) with onset Mar2025, outcome "unknown", described as "it became blurry"; PRURITUS (non-serious) with onset Mar2025, outcome "unknown", described as "itching"; VISUAL IMPAIRMENT (non-serious) with onset Mar2025, outcome "unknown", described as "vision that declined considerably and gradually"; EMOTIONAL DISTRESS (non-serious) with onset 2025, outcome "unknown"; URTICARIA (non-serious) with onset 2025, outcome "unknown", described as "flares of urticaria (hives) throughout his body"; LOSS OF PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE IN DAILY ACTIVITIES (non-serious) with onset 2025, outcome "unknown", described as "impairing him from doing even small home chores or taking care of his 70-year old disabled wife"; PAIN (non-serious) with onset 2025, outcome "unknown"; CONDITION AGGRAVATED (non-serious) with onset 2025, outcome "unknown", described as "the hives became stronger and more aggressive". Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of urticaria, condition aggravated.  Additional information: A few days later after the patient received the vaccine, he started to feel flares of urticaria (hives) throughout his body, especially from the neck down to his knees. Then, little by little and day by day the hives became stronger and more aggressive impairing him from doing even small home chores or taking care of his 70-year-old disabled wife. The patient used fexofenadine hydrochloride (ALLEGRA) and diphenhydramine hydrochloride (BENADRYL) allergy tablets sold over the counter (twice a day) and did not help with anything. Since the beginning of Mar2025, the patient had to continually scratch his skin and body dozens of times trying to disperse the bothersome itching. He could not rest anymore as before, and he was also being deprived of his night sleep. He had never had any urticaria, rash, or itching on his body at any given time and for any period of time until the end of Feb2025. The vaccine negatively affected his vision that declined considerably and gradually starting with Mar2025 in the sense that it became blurry, also it created a diffraction error for seeing up close that could be or not resolved with glasses although not guaranteed. The patient had never experienced any vision problem all his life, nor he ever wore glasses. A valid explanation could be that the vaccine made opaque in some extent the lens in his eyes, also that the retina was somehow obliterated. The vaccine also made the patient unsafe for standing up for an extended period of time due to a high risk of losing balance, falling down and injuring himself. This process started gradually in the beginning of Mar2025 and forward. He currently could only stand up for 15-20 minutes without the risk of falling compared to hours before.There were absolutely no changes in the patient's lifestyle starting with 24Feb2025 and onward, including for his diet and spiritual life. The patient did not smoke, did not drink alcohol, nor used any illegal substances. These events caused a serious degradation of his body, state of mind, lifestyle and well-being. The patient wanted a compensation for infliction of emotional distress, pain and suffering caused him by the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine as high mental aggression, stress and bodily harm. Subjecting him to unnecessary bodily harm and pain for an extended period of time up to Feb2026 - possibly permanently - due to urticaria, vision degradation and potential loss of balance and high risk of fall.
