‘No one wants to know that we exist’, say sufferers of after effects of Covid vaccines
Naomi Smith had to think long and hard before she opened her Facebook page and tapped out a message to her circle of friends and contacts.
“As a person who generally is open about life’s ups and downs I’m not sure why I was keeping this quiet,’’ she began.
Thinking back to that post now, she understands why she’d been silent about what happened to her. “I didn’t want to be the reason why someone didn’t get vaccinated,’’ she says from her Cairns home.
There was another reason she was cautious about telling her story: “I didn’t want it to be used by the anti-vax movement.”
In that initial post in December 2021, Smith, then 43, revealed that she’d started experiencing chest pains days after her second Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination in October. An avid hiker and gym goer with no history of poor health, she thought she’d pulled a muscle. “But this felt different. It progressive ly got worse … I had severe chest pain and I couldn’t breathe properly.”
Taken to hospital by ambulance, Smith was diagnosed with acute pericarditis, inflammation of the thin sac that surrounds the heart. This was a known rare side effect of the mRNA Covid vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) more commonly associated with young men and teenage boys after the second dose. It is also a symptom of a Covid infection but Smith says she hadn’t had the virus.
Lack of interest
Smith says she reported her adverse reaction to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and waited, thinking there would be interest in her case. Nine days later she received a message from Queensland Health’s Covid-19 Vaccination AEFI (adverse events following immunisation) unit advising her not to have any further mRNA vaccines, and to follow up with a cardiologist...
Now, like others in her support group, she feels abandoned.
“No one has been contacted (by authorities), no one has been studied. People’s lives have been ruined and it’s shocking to me that no one cares, no one wants to know that we exist.”
Welcome to reality. They never did care. You were just deluding yourself.
