Nurse Develops Bilateral Pulmonary Embolisms After Mandatory Vaccination

I clearly remember, as do my friends and work colleagues, my hesitancy to conform and take the COVID 19 vaccine. My intuition told me not too! I had my first vaccination on November 15th 2021, this was the cut of date given for nurses, teachers etc to conform or get out. Post injection I had immediate symptoms of a racing heart, central chest pain and feeling clammy. The vaccinators at the pharmacy said “that’s normal, it means the vaccine is working”! And after the 20 minute period I was able to leave. I was then required to have my second dose, on December 6th 2021 again to keep my nursing profession and the job I loved. I had an instant reaction, excruciating pain to my right sided shoulder blade.

My heart raced and I could literally feel it pumping so fast. Again hot and clammy, central chest pain and jawline pain….I was terrified! I believed I was having a heart attack or a stroke! I felt dismissed, alone and scared as I sat with others in the pharmacy waiting area, after 15m minutes I was told its fine for me to go. I remember hopping into the car thinking is it even safe for me to drive in this condition? Over the next few weeks my symptoms worsened especially fatigue and shortness of breath. I tried to seek medical help but was fobbed off and told “what I was going through was normal and that Id be OK”. I continued in this state with these symptoms whist continuing to work, I was shattered with huge bouts of fatigue and pain.

Eventually I saw a locum GP. He did not wish to acknowledge my severe health concerns let alone my concern of any such thing as a vaccine injury, he diagnosed me with menopause and hyperventilation and sent me home! As a nurse I was hugely unsatisfied with his behaviour and diagnoses. I hounded the medical centre and finally was seen by the nurse practitioner 4 days later. I was well cared for and never left alone whilst she completed her observations and examinations, reassurance was given as she stated she had seen this recently in someone else. Thankfully for the nurse she obtained a blood sample and sent it for urgent testing. This came back at 8pm that night showing my D-Dimer level was 1991 ug/L, it should read less than 500 ug/L. A D-Dimer test determines if someone has a blood clotting condition, which is very serious. We knew then that I had a pulmonary embolism and I had to attend ED as this is a life threatening condition. I was horrified and an emotional wreck when the emergenc

y department doctor told me to return in the morning at 8am as radiology was closed and I needed a CT scan! I was refused proper care and treatment and this incident is currently in front of the health and disability commissioner.

I should never have been sent home in this fragile life threatening state. The next day was given a CT scan and diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary embolisms! I was not admitted for treatment and monitoring, I was sent home with a prescription to fend for myself, I could barely walk, had severe shortness of breath, unable to even make a coffee, have a shower and other basic tasks of daily living. A week later I was back to hospital as I wasn’t improving and admitted at this time thanks to a wonderful Doctor who was open to the fact that yes I am vaccine injured and went above and beyond to support me. ACC have refused my claim for vaccine injury. An exemption for a booster, due in June , with the support of my respiratory specialist has been denied.

I have been well supported by a respiratory specialist who has put me through agonising ongoing various tests to ensure proper care and diagnoses. However my results 6 months on have not improved and sadly I can report that my bilateral pulmonary embolisms remain in both lungs.

It is fair to say I am mentally, physically and emotionally raw. A vaccine I was made to have injected into me has caused a huge disarray in my life and I now battle depression on top of it all. As a nurse of 20 years I am devastated. I anticipate i will be struck off the nurses register as we have been forbidden by nursing council of NZ to be a part of any Voices for freedom organisation or anything similar. We are unable to post anything on Facebook against the vaccine.

I complied yet have lost so much and been left with a severely life threatening illness to manage requiring medication indefinitely and which may require surgery. What to do, when your diagnoses of vaccine injury is not acknowledged by the government organisation in place for this very purpose, and ACC is a bloody nightmare? Losing your income and employment, where you previously made a huge impact on many lives and gained so much personal satisfaction. SO, TELL ME………… WOULD YOU BE AS COURAGEOUS AS I HAVE HAD TO BE?
