It was just around Madeline Johnson’s twenty-first birthday in April that “all hell began breaking loose,” according to her mother. An attractive California blonde studying pre-med at Chapman University, who had companies offering her clothes to model on her popular Instagram account, “Maddy”seemed to have everything going for her.
Excited about medical school, she had been working in a hospital in Orange, California, to get clinical experience. Getting the new Covid shots seemed to her an obvious thing to do to keep her and her family safe from the pandemic virus.
After her second dose of Pfizer’s mRNA shot in late February, Maddy was ill for several days with a high fever. She had been told to expect that, but then unusual things started happening. At first they were minor—pain in her wrist and numbness in her hands. But a month later, the pain and weakness in her wrist was so bad she was crying herself to sleep at night.
By April, after the numbness in her hand and wrist had traveled to her shoulder, a neurologist noticed that the reflexes in her right leg were off, and she was referred for a brain scan.
The next day, Maddy woke up with numbness in her right foot, and within hours she was unable to move her toes, ankle and knee.
By May, the “fun and bubbly” student was experiencing waves of frightening symptoms, from severe chest pain, loss of fine motor skills, fever, stabbing muscle and joint pains, full body tremors and uncontrollable shaking to“feeling slivers of glass”in her finger when she touched something. This progressed to difficulty swallowing, walking and breathing.
After two nerve studies, a CAT scan, eight MRIs, a spinal tap, 46 different blood tests and more, doctors ruled out a stroke, multiple sclerosis, a brain tumor and several autoimmune diseases. But they still had no answers, and Maddy is still suffering.
The mainstream media won’t report stories like Maddy’s, but she is not alone. By the end of July she was one of more than 36,000 people whose hospitalizations following a dose of experimental Covid There were well over half a million (518,770) adverse events related to Covid shots recorded on VAERS by July 30, 2021, including more than 23,000 life-threatening or permanently disabling events and 11,940 deaths.
