Nick’s Story
Submitted by his family, Kansas citizens
In April of 2021, Nick was 27 years old. He was living independently and had been with his current employer for 6 years. He was active and in good health. He was a strategic thinker, well spoken, courageous, and kind.
On April 5th, 2021, Nick decided to get the COVID-19 vaccine. “I’m not doing it for me,” he said, “I am doing it for other people, because it’s the right thing to do.” Immediately after receiving the shot, Nick started to feel “off.” Mostly, he had a severe headache.
A few days later, he was showering for work and passed out. He was taken to the hospital where he started throwing up and could not walk or speak correctly. The doctors performed a CT scan and, upon finding something, transferred Nick to a different hospital via ambulance. Nick was told that he’d had a stroke and had a 2 inch mass behind his left eye. They performed a biopsy and sent it off to Mayo Clinic to find out more information. On April 15th, 2021 (Nick’s 28th birthday), Nick had a craniotomy. At this point, Nick still could not speak or move on his own; he could only do a thumbs up.
He was released from the ICU and sent to a cancer floor. Eventually, Nick was able to lift his right leg a few inches off the bed and move his left arm slightly, but he still had a catheter and could not always remember his own name. Later on Nick was able to start rehabilitation, which required an occupational, physical, and speech therapist. He had to get a wheelchair as he still could not walk or talk well. His head continued to hurt, his right side was numb, and he had to have a belt on to move from his chair to his bed.
One day, a physician called Nick’s mom to tell her that Nick’s Moderna shot was reported since there were no other risk factors associated with his reaction and condition and advised that Nick not receive the second Moderna shot.
At last, Nick was able to go home. He still had a PICC line in his right arm and needed to receive antibiotic infusions every 4-6 hours. Having no insurance and little access to at home care, his mom had to learn how to do the infusions. Nick was unable to continue therapy (due to his lack of insurance) and was told he would have to pay out of pocket to go to his neurologist, infectious disease doctor, cardiologist, and general physician.
After being at home for a while, Nick developed a blood clot in his arm from his PICC line that traveled to his heart. He had to have emergency heart surgery. By the end of it all, he had experienced several major medical events as a result of an adverse reaction to the Moderna vaccine. He is still faced with the side effects of his adverse reactions daily, including numbness, aphasia, and memory loss. Nick hopes that by sharing his story, action will be taken for the safety of others. He wants there to be ongoing research to understand the short and long term effects of the COVID-19 vaccines and for assistance and resources to be provided for adverse reaction victims.
Laurel’s Story
Johnson County
My daughter Catherine was born in 1986. She was vaccinated and she has Asperger’s. My son Daniel was born in 1988. He was vaccinated and he has Asperger’s. Shortly after Daniel’s birth, the childhood vaccine schedule doubled. My son Joshua was born in 1990. He was vaccinated and he has moderate to severe autism. My son Jeremy was born in 1991. He was vaccinated and he has severe autism (self injurious behavior, non-verbal, high risk for flight, spread feces, etc.).
12 years after Jeremy was born, in 2004, my daughter Genevieve was born and we did not vaccinate her. She didn’t even receive the vitamin K shot. My son Sean was born in 2006 and we did not vaccinate him either. Both Sean and Genevieve are completely normal, neurotypical children.
Under the supervision of this Nobel prize winning geneticist, Mark Geier, all four of my autistic children were genetically tested and there was nothing genetic that tied them to autism. They tested for things like Prader–Willi, celiac, fragile X, anything that mimics autism or is misdiagnosed as autism and it was all negative, negative, negative. However, the other labs that he ran were off the charts in heavy metal toxicity.
When I was pregnant with Joshua, my sister-in-law gave me a book called “How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor.” After reading that book, I did not want to vaccinate any longer, but their father would not hear of it. All four of our children (Catherine, Daniel, Joshua, and Jeremy) were fully vaccinated.
Their father and I were later divorced and by that time I had grown somewhat complacent… until Jeremy received the Tdap. He got the shot when he was 15 and it sent him into very high aggression, seizures, constant screaming, and intensified self injurious biting. The doctor had told me that it was a pre-filled mercury-free shot. I called her and she said, “Well, there must have been mercury in it.” I replied, “You told me it was mercury free.” She said, “There must have been a trace. There are traces in vaccines and there’s no regulations on how much can be in a trace. I think he got a full dose of mercury in that Tdap shot.”
From then on, I became our family doctor. I started studying, researching, and we’ve been a lot better off. I woke up more and more and read more books so that by the time I was re-married and we had Genevieve and Sean, we chose not to vaccinate. The fact that my four vaccinated children all have autism and the two that are unvaccinated are completely healthy says it all to me. You can’t ever go back and unvaccinate. I have found that if you eat clean, drink clean water, get sunshine, fresh air, and use alternative medicines, then you aren’t going to get all the diseases that they fear monger us with.

Megan’s Story
Submitted by her parents, Matthew and Katrina Hachinsky, of Johnson County
As a baby, Megan was happy. I remember her jumping up and down in her jumper and smiling and making eye contact. She would sit and play with toys. She was advanced for her age. Megan is our third child and all of them had been vaccinated up to this point, so I didn’t even think twice when I took her in for her four month shots.
About 20 days after she had received all of her four month vaccines I was rushing off to work and dropped Megan off at daycare. It was that afternoon that she laid down for a nap and was given a bottle. Usually she would sleep for an hour, but that day the babysitter saw her moving around and went in to check on her. She realized she was seizing. She waited for the seizing to stop and then had to resuscitate her and call 911 because Megan had stopped breathing. They called me at work and told me that I needed to meet them at the emergency room. By the time my husband and I arrived at the emergency room, Megan’s eyes were closed, she was screaming, and her legs were purple. Obviously she had been without oxygen for a while. They were drilling into her shin bone to give her medication as quickly as possible.
Megan was then life-flighted to Children’s Mercy and we were not able to go with her. We ran home to quickly pack some bags (at the time having no idea how long we would be there) and then drove an hour and 45 minutes to go be with her. When we got to her, the staff wouldn’t really say anything to us because they had to do skeletal tests and CT scans to rule out if there was any sort of abuse or trauma happening that could have caused her injury. After that, when we were able to see her, she seemed okay except that she was crying. I tried to nurse her and realized that she couldn’t; she didn’t have the ability anymore. Her eyes still weren’t open; she couldn’t open them. She was in the hospital for three weeks. She started seizing again the next night and they couldn’t get it to stop, so they put her in an induced medical coma for five days. They ran an MRI and saw that she had a severe brain injury due to the lack of oxygen. They brought us into the room and told us that she was never going to be normal again. At one point, they were telling us that she wouldn’t be anything more than a vegetable.
I didn’t correlate the four month shots with the incident until after we got home from the hospital and started her Facebook page. We started receiving an influx of people telling me to read and think about certain things. One thing led to another and learning about toxins and inflammation brought me to vaccines.
When Megan came home she was on a feeding tube and I wasn’t allowed to nurse her, even though I knew that’s what she wanted. She had a neurological issue in her brain and she literally screamed 24/7. We would just sit and cry together and sing. Singing was the only thing that calmed her down.
When Megan was six years old, she started having seizures again. She hadn’t had any from the time she was one year old until that point. They got out of control, to the point where we couldn’t stop them, and they put her in a medically induced coma again. After that, she was back to where she was at the beginning when she was an infant. She couldn’t open her eyes, couldn’t move her head. We had to work our way back up to where we are now for a second time.
Megan is 10 years old now. She needs 24/7 care. I have to bathe her and feed her. She can walk with assistance and she can stand and play ball. She can listen to books. She talks a little bit, but she can’t go play soccer with her friends or run around and talk and play on the playground. She needs help with every aspect of her life. She can’t tell us what she wants, what she needs, if something hurts, if she’s in pain. We have finally been able to seek holistic medication and help from a functional medicine doctor and chiropractor to get her off her medications and work on stopping her seizures. She is still currently having them, but they are very mild and controlled. She is doing better on natural medicine than she was on big pharma.

Alexis Lasiter, 19 years old, Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Injury
Chose to get vaccinated because she works at the El Dorado Prison, high exposure chances as she interacts with the prisoners. She does have asthma and seasonal allergies. Never have had vaccine issues in the past. PCP recommended the JnJ shot due to her asthma and seasonal allergies.
Covid 19 Johnson and Johnson
Lot 1805018
Given: 4/8/2021 – 10:30am given at Butler County Health Department
4/8 by afternoon – Headache, body aches, feeling YUCK
4/9 morning – chest began to get tight, headache worse to migraine. Called Primary care physician, left message for nurse.
4/9 afternoon – chest tightness got worse, breathing began to get labored. Body aches horrible, migraine blinding.
4/9/ – 4:00pm went into the ER at Susan B Allen, El Dorado KS for chest pain, breathing issues, Covid-19 vaccine issues.
ER VISIT - $821.00 – for shortness of breath, they did Emergency Care Level 2, Ketorolac 30mg IM for her muscle aches, fever, and headache, EKG Routine Tracing where she was shown to be Tachycardic but normal sinus. Bloodwork was performed (not on bill). Said normal. Prescribed Nebulizer, Steroid to be nebulized 4 times daily. Believed to have inflammation around the lungs. SENT HOME by 5pm – rest, it will go away soon
Ketorolac helped a little on fever, muscle aches, and migraine got controllable overnight. Taking nebulizer steroids, seem to be helping a little on clearing the lungs so better breaths can be taken.
4/10/2021 – body aches increased, migraine increased she took ibuprofen. Taking nebulizer steroids. Took last treatment immediately prior to work. Went to work at midnight on 4/11/2021 since hospital told her to wait it out, go on, it will go away soon.
4/11/2021 – 5am, calls mom to come get at work due to severe breathing issues. Migraine back horribly.
4/11/2021 – 5:15am, went into the ER at Susan B Allen, El Dorado KS for Chest tight, struggling breathing, continued issues from the Covid-19 vaccine.
ER Visit – $1923.41 - Emergency Care Level 3 – IV started. Given Benadryl, Metoclopramide, Ketorolac IV and Lorazepam by mouth. EKG Routine tracing – tachycardic still, normal sinus. Sent home by 6:00am. Rest and “Wait it out”.
Went to work and continued with life dealing with a major migraine and chest tightness/pain, but controllable to tolerable level. Exertion makes the chest and migraine worse. Wednesday night, chest pains and breathing became unbearable, inner legs were painful. Went to ER at 2:10am.
ER Visit - $776.64 – Emergency Care Level 2 – Bloodwork charged, NEVER PERFORMED AT THIS VISIT.
**** When taken back to room, was asked about coming in for Abdominal pain. NO, here for CHEST PAIN, severe migraine, inner leg pain, and still having issues from the vaccine. The PRN took a LONG patient history; it was over 10 minutes before she put a stethoscope to chest to even bother to listen.
No EKG was done, but the vitals screen showed normal heartbeat, normal sinus
Chest x-ray was ordered – normal
Was going to be sent home, no treatment. Mom had to intervene and ask questions.
1. MOM - “How can the chest be treated as this is an ongoing issue?”
PRN – “Well, I don’t think this long it would be vaccine.”
MOM – “Hold up RIGHT there, this hasn’t STOPPED since the vaccine, so don’t give me that. Is it muscle?”
PRN – “Well it could be.”
MOM – “Well, would a muscle relaxer possibly give her some relief? This is getting ridiculous.”
PRN – “Well, maybe. We can try that.”
2. MOM - “Could this be Covid-19 exposure AND the vaccine? That can happen and everything I know, it could cause funky things.”
PRN – :Well, her covid test is negative.”
MOM – “Um, when was that ran?”
PRN – “I assume on the first visit.”
Mom – “Um, NOPE, no covid test has been administered".”
PRN – “Really?
Mom – “Uh, REALLY.”
PRN – “Ok, let’s run that.”
Given Cyclobenzaprine Tab by mouth.
Sent home at 4:40am. Prescription for Cyclobenzaprine. Work note for rest. Calls later with negative Covid-19 test results. The legs were NEVER EXAMINED for swelling, redness.
4/22/2021 – Alexis STILL having chest pains, severe migraine. Arms are “tired” all the time. She’s waited it out. This is getting ridiculous. Sees Primary Care Physician (PCP).
PCP – “How long has your arms been red? Um, this is a sign of possible blood clot.”
PCP – “JnJ vaccine recipients has been seeing blood clots in girls on birth control of your age.”
PCP – “No D-Dimer test given? WHY NOT! OH MY!!!!!”
D-Dimer test administered, Results are negative at this time
PCP– “Why was this test not given in the ER when majority of the symptoms were happening?!”
Also note she was given the JnJ RIGHT BEFORE they paused it to review its safety. At the same time MASSIVE issues were being seen, and she has MANY of the symptoms. She knew NOTHING about what was going on with the vaccine when she went to the ER with the issues. She isn't overreacting, she is STILL, 3 weeks later, being told to "WAIT IT OUT.” How long does she need to WAIT IT OUT??????
Hanna’s Story
Submitted by Hanna of Harvey County
In 2015 I had the Depo-Provera shot (birth control) to help with what they thought was endometriosis because I was having terrible menstrual cycles. When we asked for the side effects the nurse said, "you could take a tylenol and die. You need this shot, so it doesn't matter." My mom didn't like this answer, but we went ahead and took the shot. We changed doctors and they noticed that my liver enzymes elevated and I had digestive issues (didn't have this issue before the shot). They discontinued me taking it because they were concerned that my liver enzymes were elevated. Since then every time I have blood work my liver enzymes would be elevated and this would go on until this past year. Finally they decided to take my gallbladder, which made matters even worse, and I have chronic pain daily. I was a perfectly healthy girl that trusted a shot would make things better, only to find out it spiraled me down a path of more symptoms, additional problems, and more pain. I have since learned that there are natural ways to heal the body and have made huge improvements. I take the pain I have endured and use it as a gift from God to enlighten and educate others that vaccines, shots, or synthetic medication should never be a first solution and it should be mandatory for people to be completely educated on what they are putting in their body. I share my story because I hope it helps other people realize the risks related to vaccines and shots.
Mask Injuries
Submitted by Husband, Wife, and Daughter in Douglas County
At age 34, my otherwise generally healthy husband, suffered two strokes. He almost died in multiple ways, but God spared him. Through therapies, he regained almost all of his previous functionality. Considering how bad he was, the only things he deals with now is fatigue due to the location of one of the strokes (usually requiring a nap each day) & occasional difficulty in word finding. He is very smart & works in IT. Once shutdowns & mask mandates began, though he usually worked from home, anytime he went to the office, a client, or a store, he wore a mask. And though we didn’t make the connection for months, he continued to have worsening post-stroke symptoms.
He couldn’t hardly stay awake even an hour after waking up & regularly fell asleep sitting up throughout the day. He had headaches constantly. He felt horrible most of the time & often didn’t feel well enough to be “present” in the evenings with the family, even after a nap. Finally a friend pointed us to watch a video about the importance of oxygen to the brain for post-stroke patients. I knew from my own personal experience that my oxygen levels did indeed drop when wearing a mask, so we tested the theory on him. No mask & he feels better, clearer, more awake & able. Anytime he has to wear it for even short periods of time for work, all the symptoms come back. Masks DO affect your oxygen levels. And some have more severe, obvious, & immediate reactions than others.
My Story: Every week for a while I would take my youngest child, who has special needs, to her physical therapy appointment. Masks were required so I’d wear the mask as we walked to her therapy location, & then I would sit in my mask & wait for 30 minutes while she had her session.
Each week when I would go in & sit, it became increasingly difficult for me to breathe while simply sitting there. I’m not ridiculously out of shape or anything so wasn’t sure what the issue was. I would sit there & instead of focusing on my child or perhaps some reading I brought, I found myself having to tell myself over & over in my head, “I’m okay, I can breathe, calm down, I’m okay.” I also would tend to feel light-headed & slightly dizzy, & then would have a massive headache for the rest of the day.
Someone suggested I should check my oxygen levels to see if they were actually going down, & since we have a finger oximeter at home I did just that the next time we had therapy. Within only 5 minutes of sitting & wearing the mask, my oxygen levels went down 6 points, & my heart rate jumped up 20 beats!
The next week at her therapy session I had to step outside & remove my mask as I became so light-headed & dizzy I felt I was moments from passing out. That was very scary for me, so from then on I told the therapy people I wouldn’t be wearing a mask anymore for my own safety, & then I wasn’t allowed to come in to observe my daughter’s therapy. She only had 3 more sessions at that point so I didn’t press the issue of not being there, but I was disappointed to have to miss her last therapy sessions.
Our Daughter: My youngest is a disabled person. Even though she is also only 4 years old, a local business still refused to allow her to access their facility &/or services because she can’t wear a mask.
Through email, this business told me they would not allow my 4yo, who has a federally-defined disability, to enjoy all benefits of the membership purchased because she was unable to wear a mask. Their strict policy was everyone 2yo and up MUST wear a mask at ALL times, even though their city mandate was for people 5yo and up & allowed for medical exemptions of all ages. Their policy continued to say that if you had a medical condition that made wearing a mask not possible, to postpone your visit.
Why are children like my daughter and many others with disabilities not allowed to enjoy simple, fun places as their abilities allow?
Laura’s Story
Submitted by Carol, Kansas citizen
My child died from vaccine injury and here is my story:
I had a normal, healthy pregnancy and birth with Laura. She was my third child and she was a beautiful, normal, healthy baby.
At her six week check up she was given her first DPT vaccination. That afternoon she started having high pitched crying, unlike anything I had heard before. Rhythmic jerking movements, indicating seizures, also began that day. In the evening she had her first generalized seizure. The doctor said it may be a neurological reaction to the vaccine and to watch her closely. That was the beginning of a sad seizure ridden future for Laura which would mark her entire life.
When only two months old we started her on phenobarbitol in an effort to mitigate the seizures.
At the age of four months I started giving her Adreno Corticotropic hormone injections to possibly reduce the effects of brain inflammation which may have been caused by the pertussis vaccine. It was an educated guess on the doctor's part. This gave my baby the hormonal developments of puberty, along with puffiness and weight gain, and it slowed her development.
At the age of six months Laura had a two hour seizure. We started her on Dilantin. She continued to have seizures. In just weeks she was very lethargic and her development regressed.
At seven months she was hospitalized three times. She had apnea attacks. The seizures continued. Medications were changed. She was often in PICU. Her first birthday was in PICU which was very depressing.
She became very developmentally delayed. At one time she was on three anti-convulsants.
Her seizures were never controlled. In her short life she had hundreds of them. She had all kinds of seizures including tonic clonic generalized which lasted until she got a valium IV to stop them. We tried a ketogenic diet and many medications. We never knew when or what kind of seizure would overtake her. We had to watch her 24/7.
Laura passed away at the age of eleven, ten days after an MMR vaccination which I was told she needed for school. It was an extremely agonizing decision, but I knew any illness would trigger more seizures.
Laura was a beautiful little girl who became severely mentally and physically disabled due to vaccines. At the time of her death she had a mild case of pneumonia and she died of cardio respiratory arrest during a status seizure. Her death certificate lists "post DPT reaction" as a cause of death.
I hope that I can be an effective and articulate spokesperson for myself and others who say the benefit of the vaccines was 0 and the risk was 100% for my child. I know both the emotional and financial cost of caring for a disabled child.
May my story never be yours.
Maggie’s Story
Submitted by Kelly, Kansas citizen
Maggie was born perfectly healthy--a normal pregnancy, uneventful birth, and high APGAR score. 45 minutes after receiving the aluminum-laden Vitamin K shot--which is labeled with a black box warning and lists the possibility of death as a side effect on its insert--Maggie turned gray, went into respiratory distress, and was life-flighted to the NICU. The doctors had no explanation for why. Maggie is now autistic. Her parents report that she would regress after each one of her shots. MRIs now show she has scar tissue on her brain, likely from the encephalitis--also listed as a side effect on most vaccines--caused by her vaccinations.
Louis’s Story
Submitted by Sarah of McPherson County
Louis was a healthy 9-month-old who easily recovered from mild illnesses until he received his vaccines. After a few months of getting vaccinated, he was so sick he had to be hospitalized. He had infections in his ears, eyes, and lungs, and was lethargic and unresponsive for days. His doctor concluded that he had encephalitis, or brain damage, and that it was likely a reaction to his vaccines. He had lost his balance, could not digest the foods he used to, was underweight, and had behavioral problems such as violent acting out and thrashing. Louis’s three other siblings, who were previously healthy and 100% unvaccinated, began receiving one shot every month in order to “catch up” with the schedule so their family could move to Africa for missionary work. The children all slowly developed chronic allergies, ear infections, and had difficulty recovering from what formerly would be minor coughs and colds.
Jacob’s Story
Submitted by Dee of Douglas County
Jacob was born with a number of chronic health problems and often had adverse reactions to his vaccinations. When his two teenage brothers, Connor and Patrick, received the meningococcal vaccine, Jacob developed unexplained seizures and a high fever within three days. At the ER, doctors told Jacob’s mother that her son showed all the symptoms of meningitis. Dee was shocked to find that this vaccine can shed meningitis. Connor also felt unwell with a headache and slept for three days after receiving it.
Chris’s Story
Submitted anonymously by a Kansas citizen
Without parental consent, an eight-month-old boy named Chris was injected with eight vaccines in one appointment. Two hours later his inconsolable screams and high fever began and lasted for days. Once he stopped screaming, this previously healthy baby lost a drastic amount of function. He could barely swallow, made no sounds, made no eye contact, and lost the skills he had previously acquired. He later developed a seizure disorder, autism, reactive hypoglycemia, celiac disease, PANDAS, Lyme, apraxia, strokes, verbal clicking, facial tics, head banging, violent aggression, chronic nosebleeds, B12 deficiencies, multiple food allergies and allergies to all seizure medications. His first hour-long seizure at age 5 stopped his breathing and sent him to a trauma hospital. Seizures continued over the next 10 years. Unable to qualify for financial assistance from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, his grandparents desperately struggle today to provide the care that Chris requires. They wonder who will care for him when they are gone.
Janelle’s Story
Submitted by Janelle’s mother, Kansas citizen
Janelle had no health problems until she received one MMR and one DTap vaccine in order to travel overseas for a mission trip. Within twenty-four hours, her health took a drastic downward turn. For the next decade, she suffered symptoms so debilitating she had to drop out of college and give up her dreams of being a teacher or lawyer. She suffered extreme fatigue, brain fog, IBS, depression, anemia, and acid reflux so intense it caused scar tissue in her esophagus and she now has trouble swallowing her food.
Alaina’s Story
Submitted by Sonja of McPherson County
I have six children. Half are fully vaccinated according to the CDC recommended schedule, and the other half are vaccinated either on a delayed schedule or not at all. My first five children all have several chronic illnesses, including epilepsy, sensory processing disorder, allergies, asthma, eczema, digestive problems, and learning disabilities. My sixth child has received no vaccines and has no health issues. She has never had an ear infection, has no skin or digestive issues, no learning disabilities, and rapidly recovers from colds and flus compared to her siblings. Sonja’s daughter, Alaina, developed a seizure condition immediately after her kindergarten shots, a condition that left her brain damaged and unable to speak, walk, or talk. After having thousands of seizures, Alaina underwent a risky surgery that stopped the seizures, but left her legally blind.

Vickie’s Story
Submitted by Vickie, Kansas citizen
My grandson, whom I’ll call T, was diagnosed at age 20 with high-functioning ASD (autism spectrum disorder). He suddenly lost his ability to roll over after receiving one of his infant vaccines. His speech and emotional development was delayed. Middle school is where he began to fall behind, and he still struggles today. We have spent over $221,000 getting help for T, and we’re not done yet. We believe he was damaged by the toxins in vaccines.
Whitney’s Story
Submitted by Whitney of Douglas County
My nephew had adverse reactions to his 4-month shots. My sister told me about the risks of vaccines, but I didn’t listen. After my son's 18-month shots (Hep A), he started losing eye contact and regressed with speech. After he turned two and received more vaccines, we started losing our boy to autism. At two and a half, he started speech therapy and was put on the waitlist for an autism evaluation. He wasn’t seen until seven months later and was then diagnosed with autism, global developmental delay, absence seizures and hypotonia.
Vaccine Injury Story
Submitted anonymously by a Kansas citizen
During my pregnancy I was given the chickenpox vaccine even though it clearly says on the insert DO NOT GET IF PREGNANT OR BREAST FEEDING, CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO INFANT. I continued to get my children vaccinated. My boys would bang their heads on the floors and walls. Blank stares. Their pediatrician said it was normal. I now know that head banging is a side effect of vaccination. I was not vaccinated growing up and have always been extremely healthy.
Jennifer’s Story
Submitted by Jennifer of Shawnee County
I had the following ailments throughout my entire childhood and adolescence: asthma (inhaler-dependent), severe eczema, severe hay fever/seasonal allergies, frequent illnesses throughout childhood, and food sensitivities, culminating in a diagnosis in adulthood of autoimmune disease. All of these ailments are listed as possible side effects on vaccine inserts.
Vicky’s Story
Submitted by Vicky, Kansas citizen
When I worked at Stormont-Vail hospital in Topeka, I was given a couple of flu shots and HepB vaccines. I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and chronic fatigue. My doctor has confirmed it was caused by vaccination. One of my sons had chronic ear infections, explosive diarrhea, and was later diagnosed with ADHD from vaccines. My other son had a severe asthma-like attack after his shots and had to be hospitalized and in a breathing tent for several days.
A Family of Vaccine Injury Stories
Submitted anonymously by a Cloud County resident
My mother and grandmother both travelled the world extensively and got all the shots recommended for each country in the ‘50s and ‘60s. They both also have been diagnosed with seizure disorders. Seizures are listed on vaccine inserts as reported adverse reactions. When I was 18 months old, I caught the measles after being vaccinated for it. I was in the hospital for 3 days, ran 104°F fever, and ended up losing 50% of my hearing from it. My one-year-old son had a vaccine reaction; he had green diarrhea, inconsolable crying, and clingy neediness. My son ended up with dyslexia, asthma/breathing issues, and a learning disability. My one-year-old nephew had a life-threatening seizure shortly after receiving the DTap. Our family has experienced multiple other vaccine injuries.

Growing up, I always had reactions to vaccines: fever, swelling, rashes. Fast forward 60 years and I have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, heavy metal and pesticide exposure, having flare-ups of optic neuritis, weakening muscles, and susceptibility to colds and bronchitis. My doctor told me the fact that I got ill with vaccinations and now have a weakened immune system tells him I’m vaccine injured.
