Post-vac syndrome: 'There is no such thing as a vaccine without side effects' | DW News

It is normal to have certain reactions after a vaccination: There may be redness, swelling or pain around the injection site. But for some people, life has changed dramatically following their COVID-19 vaccination.

The German biotech firm BioNTech is facing compensation claims for alleged side effects from its Comirnaty vaccine. Millions of people in Germany received the jab, which authorities say saved many lives in the pandemic.

The plaintiff, who is not being publicly named under German privacy laws, alleges that the vaccine caused her to suffer upper-body pain, swollen extremities, fatigue and sleeping disorder. She is suing BioNTech for at least €150,000 ($161,500) in damages for bodily harm as well as compensation for unspecified material damage, according to the court. A lawyer representing her, Tobias Ulbrich, told Reuters news agency that he would challenge assessments made by EU and German health regulators that the Comirnaty jab had a positive risk-benefit profile.

It amazes me how people are still in denial simply because their egos can't tolerate how wrong they have been this whole time. And on top of that they feel like they're the intelligent ones.

[Cristoforo]

It’s amazing how some people are still so trusting and naive, even after they’ve been lied to. And after they KNOW they’ve been lied to

[gamegenie]

The way this whole thing was handled has turned me complete anti vaxx. I hope everyone effected gets justice.

[lanak.]

One of my relatives developed pericarditis three days after taking 2nd dose of Moderna vaccine. He was absolutely healthy previously and he is in his early twenties. Kaiser doctors at the beginning were trying to deny any connection to vaccine. He was several times in and out of the hospital now and finally they admitted that it's related to vaccine. Also, my mother-in -law developed bone cancer after the "shot". My sister in law's mother just passed away after her cervical cancer returned after long remission after the "shot". My other's sister-in-law father developed severe heart issue also right after the shot, to the point that he is dying now. Of course, they are all older people, but what is striking is the timing of this. I have not taken the shot, neither my child and nor my husband because 10 years ago when we took swine flu vaccine we all got severe side effects, and that is why we did not take any covid shots. My husband developed stroke then ( absolutely healthy 36 year old), I almost died from Guillain-Barre syndrome, my child developed severe neuropathy, and my husbands uncle had a heart attack. Again coincidence? I was very healthy before the flu shot, and now I am almost disabled. I did regain some of my health after the Guillain Barre , but I am still have severe residual symptoms. I am a microbiologist and have also medical background and I would never take another vax even if threatened. It is a poison, you might not believe me and think it is just all some kind of conspiracy nonsense, but I hope you will heed the warning! Lot of smart people, scientists and doctors spoke against it, but the censorship is very live and strong on YT

[WiseOwl_]

Even mentioning this used to get you banned or fired. Was madness

[Haryanvi-Jaat]

I'm still 17 and took vaccine at 15 yrs age... After vaccine my health got downhill and developed high Bp and heart issues and I'm still young😢😢

[johnrambo]

It blows my mind how many people actually took the jab. It was so obvious what was going on...

[dhurdygurdyman]

This is like when the police investigate the police to find that there was no misconduct by the police.

[shawnaellcey]

I caught Covid and felt bad but got better, I had a Pfizer shot and then felt like I had “ long Covid” had a Pfizer booster and got: mild Bell’s palsy with a frozen left shoulder, a formal diagnosis of POTS with gastoparisis that has caused SIBO. So do not tell me there aren’t serious side effects.

[marioserafin]

I am sick of the lie that side effects are very low. Many people have sustained serious permanent damage because of trusting a broken and corrupt system. How can a doctor give a medication to someone knowing that hat it may cause harm? Those injections are dangerous and should not be given to anyone.

[jeannepaquette]

My heart breaks for all the people who felt pressure to take the jab.

[juliaclapton]

My heart bleeds for all the people who took the jab because they was scared frightened or coerced into taking it. Worried they loose their homes jobs unable to feed their children. It's not right saying they should have known better. They are the innocents. They trusted and believed what they was told. I hope anyone who is suffering side effects or lost a love one. Gets justice and their souls find peace. Everyone involved in this evil gov etc. Should be held accountable. Horrific and truly shocking

[gifi]

I'm a simple man. When the Dr. who created the MRNA technology said it wasnt safe, that is all i needed to hear.

[susanabrandanmazyazh]

After I've got vaccinated with Pfizer 2 times in 2021, after a month or so I started to develop a "vitiligo" this is an autoimmune desease when your body can not produce enough melanin (which gives you your skin coulour pigmentation). Since then up until today it developes, and I have white unpigmented spots of diferent size in different parts of my body. I'm a 32 year old, I NEVER in my life before had any autoimmune desease, I always was a healthy person with a pretty unremarcable medical record. I definetly learned a big lesson, that i will never again let understudied vaccines into my body. The government should launch an independent inquiry into vaccine side effects and force vaccine manufacturers (who made billions in profits) to compensate victims of side-effects.

[paulomoteso]

Glad I said no to the jab and stood my ground despite the challenges from friends and families. I don't trust the system, period.

[JL-tmrc]

how did they get the percentage of severe side effect if they did not conduct extensive research

[tibsyy]

During covid vaccinations: "Safe, tested, proven, effective!"
After covid vaccinations: "There is no such a thing as vaccination without side effects"
I sucked it in. This one myself as well! 😅 Never again! No matter what new pandemic gonna come!

[Agent-cupv]

I have headaches, ear ringing, and vision loss from phizer and Moderna vaccine jabs, filed a report on the companies website....no response, visited my primary doctor and they just say it can't be true...must be a pre-existing condition, can't sue them because they have government's immunity from prosecution victims just get ignored and pushed aside and forgotten. Before the jabs, I was perfectly healthy with no headaches, ear ringing, or vision loss (20/20).

[Syptah]

Remember it was sold to us here in the UK as "Safe and effective " .. got alot of grief at work for not taking it. Proud to be an Anti Vaxer!
So sorry for all the people who felt they had no choice.

[TheJeanette]

It seems more common than people wan to admit., but if you are one who is affected it doesn’t matter how rare it is that’s no comfort.
