I’m not a COVID vaccine conspiracy theorist, but…
Just got home Tuesday night after 3+ months in hospitals and nursing homes. The shorthand version is that I had 8 separate strokes and heart attacks while backing up my car from my driveway. My heart stopped 3X and I had to be brought back via CPR and the paddles. I spent my first 2 weeks in a coma and on a ventilator. The doctors gave me a 99% chance of not living through that first night. I’m now on dialysis 3X a week and doing PT/OT so I can walk again unassisted. I don’t do drugs and only socially drink every few months. Had 2 Pfizer shots in 2021 and my Pfizer booster on MLK day in 2022. Had my first hospital stint in Feb. 2022 for 4 days because my gait was off and I couldn’t walk straight without a cane. Started this latest stint in August. Turns out I had a blood clot in my leg that spread to my lungs and brain. I’ve been on various blood thinners up until a few days ago to get rid of the clot. I’ll be 44 in January and am in good health beyond Type 2 diabetes, which is now the most controlled that it ever has been. My resting heart rate is between 110-153 bpm and my blood pressure is all over the map.
I’ve been told a myriad of different theories by doctors on how this happened. However, I have read a few different articles that hit a little too close to home. Apparently, people that have received the Pfizer shots/boosters have an increased risk for the following side effects: heart attacks, strokes, unusual blood clots and kidney failure. These are the exact same symptoms that I experienced. Coincidence? Perhaps. I just wish we had more data on what we are injecting into our bodies and the long term effects. Despite following “the rules” I’ve had COVID 2X that I’m aware of.

“Relative to the Moderna group, Pfizer recipients had an excess per 10,000 people of 10.9 ischemic strokes (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9 to 17.4), 14.8 heart attacks (95% CI, 7.9 to 21.8), 11.3 other abnormal blood clotting (95% CI, 3.4 to 17.7), and 17.1 cases of kidney injury (95% CI, 8.8 to 30.2).
The corresponding risk ratios for Pfizer versus Moderna were 1.17 (95% CI, 1.03 to 1.28) for ischemic stroke, 1.32 (95% CI, 1.16 to 1.49) for heart attack, 1.20 (95% CI, 1.05 to 1.32) for other blood-clotting events, and 1.16 (95% CI, 1.08 to 1.29) for kidney injury.
In analyses that didn't exclude COVID-19–related adverse events, estimated risk differences were only marginally higher except for that for pneumonia, which rose from 5.9 (95% CI, −2.9 to 12.7) to 20.9 (95% CI, 11.4 to 29.5) events per 10,000 participants.
In the 14 days after the first vaccine dose, the estimated risk of adverse events were low and comparable between the groups. In the first 42 days, the estimated risks were also low, but relative to Moderna recipients, Pfizer recipients had excess abnormal blood-clotting events (1.8; 95% CI, 0.2 to 4.2), heart rhythm abnormalities (7.5; 95% CI, 1.9 to 11.5), and kidney injuries (3.8; 95% CI, 2.1 to 8.0) per 10,000 people.”
