The following information was reported: HEADACHE (non-serious) with onset 17Dec2021, outcome "recovered"; HAEMORRHAGIC STROKE (hospitalization, life threatening, medically significant) with onset 27Feb2022, outcome "unknown", described as "Hemorrhagic stroke; unconscious"; HEMIPLEGIA (hospitalization, life threatening, medically significant) with onset 27Feb2022, outcome "not recovered", described as "Left side was paralyzed"; GAIT DISTURBANCE (non-serious), outcome "not recovered", described as "Can't walk his dog; could not walk; walk with ASO and cane"; IMPAIRED DRIVING ABILITY (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "Can't drive car"; IMPAIRED QUALITY OF LIFE (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "Can't do anything". The patient was hospitalized for haemorrhagic stroke, hemiplegia (start date: 27Feb2022, discharge date: 28Mar2022, hospitalization duration: 30 day(s)). The events "hemorrhagic stroke; unconscious", "left side was paralyzed", "headache", "can't walk his dog; could not walk; walk with aso and cane", "can't drive car" and "can't do anything" required physician office visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Computerised tomogram head: (2022) Brain filled with blood; Testing: (2022) Unknown results. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of haemorrhagic stroke, hemiplegia, gait disturbance, impaired driving ability, impaired quality of life. The patient was not allergic to any previous vaccination, medications, food, or other products. Patient never smoked, never drank, nothing. The patient had no other conditions or products. The patient was not taking any other medications within 2 weeks prior to the event onset. The patient had the 2 vaccines, first and second then, had booster shot that came out shortly after. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of the suspect vaccine or on the same date as the Pfizer vaccine. The patient's wife does not know why she never just called to Pfizer but filed report with government. This is regarding Pfizer booster vaccine, first COVID booster given on 17Dec2021. The facility where vaccine was administered was at a local hospital. On 17Dec2021, the patient immediately came home from having that booster shot, he did not feel good. The patient had severe headache immediately, right after he got that booster, had headache for weeks. He had severe headache immediately, right after he got that booster. The headaches started immediately, thought maybe he had COVID or sinus infection, knew something was not right. Had testing done. Went to physician, went to ENT, he did not have sinus infection, did not have COVID. Patient had some massive thing that almost killed him, brewing in his head. On 27Feb2022, the patient suffered severe hemorrhagic stroke from COVID-19 vaccine booster. The patient had no symptoms and, all of a sudden, had stroke. He was sitting in golf cart, 27Feb2022, all of a sudden, left side was paralyzed. The patient knew what was happening, got himself to trauma center (hospital). If he didn't know signs of stroke, would have been dead on the golf course. Patient was on ventilator and trach for 30 days. He was admitted to hospital for 30 days from 27Feb2022, he was unconscious, into ICU unit, released 28Mar2022. Then, he went to an inpatient rehab center for around 60 days until May2022 (around 18May2022 to 20May2022). The patient did not come home from 27Feb2022 until end of May2022. When patient came home, he started outpatient rehabilitation, 3 days a week, from the day he came home, until Dec2022. Patient has speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy. They said he was having inpatient therapy at outpatient facility. Every other day, besides going to therapy, was seeing so many doctors, neurologists, so many people, eye doctors (physicians and ENT). Patient still in therapy today, 3 years later, still has 2 therapists, goes to therapy twice a week. 3 years later, had many ASO braces made. When released from inpatient therapy, could not walk still. They released him on stretcher, never told them about any ASO braces. The whole experience, just does not even know. Patient was in wheelchair for many months, probably until beginning of Mar2023, when he got his first ASO brace. Patient still paralyzed now, walk with ASO and cane, for 3 years. Patient was healthy man his entire life. As treatment, after stroke, they put him on what they usually give people in ICU. Has entire list at home. Patient still on medication. They could write a book, the amount of paperwork, scans, and everything she has. No stone has been unturned. Has everything documented and printed out. Patient has had 5000 tests since 2022. As far as brain scans, brain filled with blood from booster shot, has scans of that. 3 years later, patient still has never been 100%, left side paralyzed still. Patient still in therapy twice a week, spent number of dollars, has seen so many medical professionals. Per patient's wife, there must be something that Pfizer has to do, something for the people they nearly killed or whose lives they changed, including the patient whose life will never be the same. Their kids' lives will bever be the same. If the patient was not smart enough to get himself help within 8 minutes, the wife would be a widow today, because of the COVID-19 booster. Their life turned upside down. Patient was a man who ran, was vegetarian. Now, can't walk his dog, can't drive car, can't do anything. Per patient's wife, the people who developed this should rot in prison. The government signed their lives away when this got job mandated, to receive the booster and, if anything happens, can't do anything if anyone might die. Per patient's wife, it is a well-known fact that the Pfizer vaccine has killed people, has changed their life, paralyzed people. Pfizer must do something; the whole entire thing is a hoax. They came out with this, does not even know what vaccine. Knows many people that have had side effects, patient was the most severe. Knows people who have died, unfortunately. The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 will be requested and submitted if and when received.
