An Iraq War veteran has claimed the Covid-19 vaccine made him develop Guillain-Barre Syndrome causing full body paralysis and leaving him with nerve damage.
Drew – who prefers not to share his last name – says he was an ‘otherwise healthy 36-year-old’ before he received the mRNA Pfizer vaccine in April 2021.
After two doses, he says he started experiencing ‘cold/flu symptoms’ which ‘turned to numbness, tingling’ and then to ‘complete paralysis within weeks’.
He says he was hospitalized and diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a very rare progressive nerve disorder that can cause total body paralysis in serious cases. Most people make a full recovery.
He says doctors did not link his illness to the vaccine at first, but claims his medical records have now been updated to show he had a ‘vaccine injury.’ DailyMail.com has requested to see a copy of said records.
Now back at home, Drew says he is raising awareness of vaccine side effects and says he ‘still can’t walk without assistance’.
Drew signed up for the army straight after high school and shortly after was deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On a fundraising page for his medical bills, it says: ‘After a four year break in service he wanted to continue to serve his country and community in the MN, enlisting in the National Guard.
‘Then in 2018, he was deployed again, this time to Kuwait/Middle East.’
After that he retired from the army and took a job in sales just in time for the birth of his son.
Then he says he got a call from Veterans Affairs encouraging him to get the vaccine and telling him ‘it would prevent illness and prevent transmission to elderly mother.’
He told Alpha News: ‘It was done in the atrium … they had some cubicles, and I just went in, sat down and got it. There wasn’t a lot of information. They weren’t really telling me anything.
‘It was just kind of like the basic training assembly line for vaccines on deployment.’
He said he had flu-like symptoms for a few days which then turned to ‘numbness, tingling, my hands, my feet, my toes’.
