COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A Colorado Springs woman nearly died after receiving the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, and she's now hoping more people understand the risks of getting the shot before making an appointment.
Kendra Lippy is 38-years-old and has spent most of her life in Colorado Springs. She made an appointment to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in March because she says she wanted to protect her friends and family.
Her vaccine experience was pretty normal for about a week. Then, she started to notice a headache and abdominal pain. From there, she started vomiting. She couldn't stop. She knew something was wrong.
Her mother took her to the hospital. Doctors worked to figure out what was wrong with her, but she ultimately slipped into a coma. All of her organs failed, except for her heart. Doctors had to remove most of her small intestine, which helps your body absorb nutrients.
Her family began preparing for the worst -- they started planning her funeral.
Miraculously, 22 days later, Lippy woke up.
Her recovery was intense. She had to relearn fine motor skills, like writing and using a fork. She had to relearn how to walk too.
Lippy is one of six women across the country who experienced severe blood clotting after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Their reactions prompted the CDC to recommend a pause on the J&J. The pause only lasted 11 days, but the CDC now warns people about the clotting risk before they get that shot.
Months later, Lippy is still working to recover. She has to rely on total parenteral nutrition (TPN), which is a method of feeding that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. It means she has to restrict her diet and constantly change the dressing on her arm.
"I'm always going to have this disability, kind of, that's going to limit to what I can eat and limit, you know, some probably some activities that I can't do anymore," Lippy said. "Right now, I know it's hindering me being able to go back to work, which is what I want to do. I'm not a stay-at-home person. I'm not somebody that's gonna sit still, it's just not me. I have to do something."
She didn't have insurance before being admitted to the hospital, and while she's trying to get on Medicaid, Lippy is facing more than a million dollars in medical bills. She's also limited on what support she can get moving forward.
The government shielded vaccine makers from liability, so she can't sue Johnson & Johnson. She also doesn't have a legitimate legal route to sue the government for this either. Her only option to get financial support with all of her bills is now to apply for a program called the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). It would only cover medical bills that haven't been reimbursed by insurance and lost wages -- and it's incredibly difficult to actually get approved. Less than 1 in 10 people end up getting compensated after applying.
Lippy has since hired an attorney. He's helping her navigate the application process. He's also hoping to work with politicians to pass legislation that might help someone like Lippy.
Until then though, Lippy is left to wait. She's recovering, drowning in medical debt, and hoping for a shot at a normal life.
Coworkers set up a GoFundMe to support Lippy with these costs. For more information on that, click here.
I'm hoping all the people who keep pushing this swill will chip in to the fund.
dr gas or whatever that quack calls himself should step right up.
Why does she gave to pay bills. Obama made it free.
“Lippy is one of six women across the country who experienced severe blood clotting after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.”
As of April 12, more than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine have been administered in the U.S.
IOW, the chances of J&J resulting in death are less than one in a million.
Meanwhile the virus has killed over 600,000 Americans and over 3.7 million worldwide.
“to protect her friends and family.”
Vaccines are supposed to protect the individual getting it , not people around them. It’s all part of the psy ops guilting people into taking this toxic garbage.
How is anyone to know the dangers since nowhere on any of the vaccine commercials do they state the problems like every other medicine is required to do.
Lying by omission. What are they hiding?
Nasty palosi said zero care helped everybody.
“...CDC now warns people about the clotting risk before they get that shot.”””
So as a non-medical professional the common ordinary person is supposed to have expert knowledge of their clotting risks. What is the test that the CDC is giving people BEFORE they take the “vaccine” to determine if they are at risk???????
A very good reason to just say no.
There are many more people having problems with this swill, and for most the virus is not deadly. This cure may be worse than the virus.
Wut? Show me proof that anyone has died from COVID-19. Are they doing autopsies on all these dead or simply rubber stamping COVID in the top line of Cause of Death? And while you’re at it, show me their test results using a ct less than 25 that yielded positive and then a “patient” with actual symptoms.
Good luck on your assignment.
“Meanwhile the virus has killed over 600,000 Americans and over 3.7 million worldwide.”
Road apples.
Wow are you tough guy. Usually you are supposed to ping someone when you call them by name
Nice Alinsky technique there.
As for the case. Yes it’s sad. It’s also 1/1M complication. When you stop driving your car because it’s more dangerous than the vaccine, then we can talk.
They hate data. Remember that. Putting it in context destroys their argument and they have nothing in recourse except name calling.
“Deep In The Gassy Stool”, our own FR covid version of “Deep In The Hurtgen Forest”...
You are a complete idiot. Covid is real. I don’t rubber stamp any death certificate. And I have seen people die in horrifying ways from this virus. You cannot be serious.
never trust anything our government says about stopping the spread of a so called “deadly virus” while they open the border and spread thousands of “disease carrying invaders” across our country during a so called “global pandemic”...
Care to explain the 500,000 excess deaths last year smart guy? Year over year? Gee. I wonder what caused it.
“Meanwhile the virus has killed over 600,000 Americans”
You don’t know that, but we do know the CDC and others have been caught lying about who has died from COVID. People so much as “suspected” were counted in their lying figures.
You really should stop spreading those lies. It just makes you a liar too.
