I’m technically #unvaccinated . I’m sat on 1 dose after experiencing a severe, chronic adverse rxn. 14 months on & still dealing w/ neuropathy. This program is awful - where is the balance? These vaccines are NOT risk free. Refusing to acknowledge this only fuels conspiracy.

@DrAseemMalhotra @DrAseemMalhotra thanks for your posts, I share your view of things. I have to ask - what do you think will happen to the vaccine injured? I’m one of them. Since June last year. We’re being horribly gaslit & left to rot. What can we do? I have 2 small kids, I can’t give up 😔

@BBCHughPym Maybe if someone actually helped me with my chronic illness I got from a single shot of Pfizer, I might be excited by this news. My trust is shattered by my experience of vaccine injury & the utterly brutal lack of medical or any other support I encountered.

Also why are the only adverse events quoted or that seem to be reported on, anaphylaxis, myocarditis, guillian barre? There’s a huge spectrum of injury. I’ve got none of those but still got issues with nerves in my legs 14 months later, plus arrhythmia. Are those acceptable? 🤔

Not a good fit for what I observe in the LC community at all. Many of us were athletes! Many got worse post-vaccination? Some got LC-like syndrome from the vaccine (me!) 🤷‍♀️ I think genetic predisposition to immune dysfunction plays a stronger role than lifestyle. Disappointed.

If you experienced side effects after your first dose, you still need to have the second dose as having both offers you the most protection. The symptoms of covid and long covid are much worse than the side effects of the vaccine and can last a lot longer. #VaccinateSheffield

How about: • demonstrating that there is a safety net when 💉 produces adverse event? • Prompt diagnosis & treatment? • Research on 💉 injuries & who susceptible? • Compensation system fit for purpose 🤯 • non-passive reporting system with improved granularity?

@drclairetaylor @1goodtern @ClareRayner6 I don’t understand why @P_H_S_Official are not communicating about this. My kids have had 3 x Covid this year - now dealing with recurrent impetigo.This is NOT coincidence, they’ve never had this before. They also look very pale and tired 😞Considering pulling them out of school

@MrOsteo I wasn’t informed either. Told about flu like symptoms and a sore arm. Instead I got neuropathy in my legs, brain inflammation and arrythmia. Still battling the neuropathy 14 months on! Zero help from the NHS, had to go private. Ridiculous.

@resiapretorius @RobWust I think I am one such patient with this. Severe proximal muscle weakness (chronic & worsens as PEM), yet no inflammation markers, no raised CK, negative for myasthenia etc. Just lost 😞 It’s my most disabling problem by miles. I’m V injured, not LC. But seems the same thing 🤷‍♀️

@KunstJonas BBC Scotland seem more open-minded & less agenda driven than the BBC down south. BBC Scotland journalists are actually talking / listening to clinicians about what they’re seeing & giving them a platform. Even post-vacc sequelae have had a mention! You’d not get that on main BBC.

@doctorasadkhan @dbkell @RenierMatthias @calirunnerdoc @jencurtinmd @loscharlos @resiapretorius @microbeminded2 @ahandvanish @farid__jalali @j_b_kennedy @long_covid @gezmedinger @DrAnnaNZ @Girish_cbe Thank u for saying this. I feel completely ostracised for having this reaction to the vax. No doctors believe me, & I got booted out of LC groups for saying it, which combined with the symptoms, is becoming really distressing. Is there a way to educate U.K. docs on this?

@SGriffin_Lab This was you not having the energy?! 🤣👏 I really didn’t have the energy so I cancelled my tv licence instead. Had enough of their drivel. Awful journalism across multiple issues these last few years. Patronising AF. I’m off to #BeMoreSally

@thepollenberry @ShaneyWright @resiapretorius How disappointing! I attended a days testing in a lab this week by a small group of LC researchers in Scotland - they r very much tuned into the microclots theory & hope to test my blood. They’re very interested in endothelial dysfunction & autoimmunity too. Spot on I reckon 👍

@AnnLHowarth @drclairetaylor I had no risk factors and was an athlete before this pandemic. 3 infections later and I can hardly move from nerve damage & cardiac inflammation. Young mum of two. Nobody knows if they’re vulnerable or not until it’s too late. Claire is right, we need to mitigate this thing.

@JDAlbarnaz @erturklab @zhouyi_rong @HongchengM @Sakethkapoor I’d like to know the answer to this too. I got a near identical syndrome to Long Covid, from my vaccine. Want to know if is same pathophysiology despite the lack of viral trigger.

Read this & cried. A story from another 💉 injured patient (different 💉 same outcome!) who suffered horrendously like many in @ukcvfamily for 9 YEARS 😢, but made big gains from IVIG. More of us in this community need to be able to access this tx.

@drclairetaylor @danielgoyal This “living with Covid” approach (Aka pretending it doesn’t exist) is an absolute shit show. Surely there is a better way 🥴 A lot of folks reporting terrible / neck / back & leg pain on this latest variant. I wonder what’s driving that. Get well soon Claire x

@dvergano @camerokt_ The vaccine ruined my health. Dysautonomia and vascular inflammation. Still under neurology as they try to figure out what’s happened to me 😔 I was an athlete before, my strava stops dead last summer. But we don’t talk about Bruno…

@Nohj60536387 I’m still waiting for cardiology too. 17 months of undiagnosed arrhythmia 😭💔 Why is nobody helping? I can’t understand the lack of help when our lives changed OVERNIGHT!! I now also have PoTS. Also undiagnosed. Muddling along adding salt to my food etc but jeez, someone help!
