The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Blood test: (unspecified date) unknown; Echoencephalogram: (unspecified date) unknown; SARS-CoV-2 test: (30Dec2021) Negative, notes: Nasal Swab; (08Mar2022) Negative, notes: Nasal Swab; Ultrasound antenatal screen: (unspecified date) unknown; Weight decreased: (unspecified date) Significant weight loss, notes: 10% of body weight in four weeks.

Clinical course: NDC number and expiry date: Unknown. The patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to the vaccination. The patient has been tested for COVID-19 after vaccination. Patient tried to get her doctor to complete the report for 5 months and finally found portal herself. Patient could not get an appointment until Jan2022. Echo conducted last Thursday showed left ventricle diastolic dysfunction.  Grade 2. The rest of symptoms occurred immediately after booster and persisted for 6-7 weeks. They all persist to varying degrees. Medical treatment diagnosis is taking 6 months due to inability to get appointments. Patient received medical attention on 06Jan2022, and it led to long series of testing and trying to bring in a cardiologist and get appropriate test like Echo. Right up until this time, patient is receiving medical assistance for testing and diagnosis, and it is not done yet. Patient would like to know if she risks getting another booster or not. Patient declines to provide LOT/Batch numbers for first, second, and third doses of the vaccine. Patient says she has heart damage and is exhausted and has already provided way more details than she should need to do. Patient says federal law requires that doctors submit a VAERS report for adverse events, which she believed was true until yesterday when found the Pfizer vaccine adverse event reporting portal as an alternate route for reports by patients, that she was glad to find. Patient says she would like to know, is it mandatory for Pfizer to report VAERS statistics, since it is set up and would be a good process if that information sees the light of day or is added to CDC overall information and used with VAERS. Patient is a 75-year-old who was 74 years old when she received the booster dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. Patient reports that after the booster dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine on 19Nov2021 has heart damage, that an echocardiogram was done and has grade 2 LV diastolic dysfunction. Patient reports that she is still not okay and may die of this. Patient reports that the Johnston and Johnston Covid-19 vaccine has been taken off the market due to side effects and the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine has more side effects reported for it than the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. AE treatment ongoing testing now, cardiologist retained.
