US woman's health 'critical' after severe vaccine reaction
What's the story
A 23-year-old Florida woman, Alexis Lorenze, is battling a critical health crisis following a severe reaction to vaccines administered at UCI Medical Centre in Orange, California. The Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF) reported that Lorenze was diagnosed with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood disorder, in January. As part of her treatment plan for PNH, she received Tetanus, Pneumococcal, and Meningitis vaccines at the medical center.
Health decline
Lorenze's health deteriorates rapidly post-vaccination
Within 10 minutes of receiving the vaccines, Lorenze's health took a turn for the worse. She began experiencing alarming symptoms such as temporary blindness, a locked jaw, and vomiting. In response to her deteriorating condition, the VSRF has dispatched Registered Nurse Angela Wulbrecht along with a team of trusted doctors to assist with her care.
Allegations
Lorenze's medical journey
Lorenze, who does not have health insurance in California, is now being transferred to a private hospital in Los Angeles for specialized care. A fundraiser has been set up to raise money for her treatment. She has been using TikTok to share details of her medical journey, posting disturbing images and videos that reveal the severity of her alleged vaccine reaction.
Symptoms
Lorenze's symptoms
The visuals shared by Lorenze on TikTok show her with swollen eyes and forehead, severe black-purplish bruising covering her face and body, and red, inflamed skin. She first sought treatment at the hospital for a blood disorder and underwent a blood transfusion. While the transfusion provided some relief, she alleges it did not fully resolve her symptoms. Her family has accused the hospital of causing her sudden health deterioration due to their actions.
