Reaction Registry Wall

Vaccines can sometimes cause injury and death and these risks can be greater for some than others. Since 1982, the NVIC has operated a Vaccine Reaction Registry, which has served as a watchdog on reports submitted to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). NVIC's Vaccine Reaction Wall is provided for the public to share their vaccine adverse event experiences and are displayed chronologically. Click to view stories about vaccine harassment and vaccine failures.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page for options on reporting vaccine harassment, failures and reactions. When you submit your stories to NVIC your identity will be kept confidential.

    My name is Sharon Denise J., Retired United States Military Servicemember, serving my country for over 20 years, both enlisted and as a Supply Corps Officer. I took the military mandated Pfizer Covid19 vaccine (2 mandated doses) and have been initially, deathly ill and now chronically ill. I was very fit and extremely healthy, prior to the Covid19 Pfizer vaccine. I was running 5K's every day and in the gym five days per week. I don't drink or smoke and did not then. I’ve lived a healthy lifestyle by making my own juice, eating healthy fruits and vegetables, and maintaining a healthy weight. In Feb/March 2021, the Pfizer COVID19 vaccines took my body into an immediate tailspin. Causing me to lose the use of my arms and legs initially and ongoing numbness and tingling and swelling in my extremities. It changed my vision, my ability to think clearly, it gave me brain fog and heart palpitations, shortness of breath, hair loss, dizziness, confusion, and suicidal thoughts. This is still ongoing. I have become a complete shell of the person I was, literally overnight. And during that time, no doctor, medical advisor, or pharmacist would even admit on paper or in writing what the Covid19 vaccine was doing to people. They would tell me off the record, they know what the vaccine is doing, and they are seeing a lot of heart issues, autoimmune issues, deaths, strange side effects and tumors, etc. because they did not want to lose their jobs, or they couldn't lose their careers because they had families to feed, it left me with nothing to cling to. Additionally, It left me hopeless and going in circles, and then, the medical providers only gave me textbook answers (which there weren’t any) and that they ‘were sorry”. I even had some doctors say I was making it up, when I showed the photographs and videos I took. I started taking photos and videos not only because I was scared and confused and thought I was going crazy, but because I really thought I was going to die, and no one would truly know what happened to me. I even had doctors tell me over and over, that “the vaccine didn't do this to you. You are over 50 years old and there is something else wrong with you and something dormant in your body that the vaccine triggered”. I have photos before and after and you can clearly see I was fit, healthy, strong and of sound mind. "squared away", as we like to say, in the Navy. And I'd say in return, if that's the case, how have I spent 20 years in the United States military without them finding something medically wrong with me to this degree? I would have been processed out of the military already had I had something previously wrong with me. And the doctors couldn't answer my statement; they couldn't elaborate; they just discounted me, which made me feel more like I was losing my mental stability. It has been a confusing, troubling, misleading, and a mental and emotional roller coaster that I can't seem to get off. I joined the Navy Reserves July 31, 2003, as SK/E5 under the Advanced Pay Grade program. I was commissioned as 3105 Supply Officer in 2012. I served three years on active duty (2016 - 2019), returning to Reserve status afterward and serving until retirement January 1, 2024, as 04/LCDR 3105. The Covid19 Vaccine was mandated by my Navy reserve center in California, and I was vaccinated at a Base Hospital in February, dose 1, and March 2021, dose 2. My body immediately responded negatively to the vaccine. I filed reports to CICP, VAERS, Navy medical, and many civilian and VA doctors, I am still seeing medical providers, have an autoimmune issue, among a plethora of other issues, and still receiving medical care for this vaccine injury. The COVID19 vaccine was mandated by the U.S. Navy, and I complied with the mandated order. The many military service members who refused the Covid19 Vaccine were immediately removed from military service. Fast forward, service members who were removed from military service were allowed back in with retroactive back pay, benefits and no negative mark on their military service. I followed military instructions. I took the vaccine. I am not well, and I am still seeking medical help to date (February 2025). I can't seem to get a response or any answers, as to why I complied with the mandated vaccine and am now very ill, and others who refused the vaccine were given back pay and their careers back. I retired from the Navy, due to my ongoing issues. I am not just a statistic or a number, I am a person who has been severely injured by the COVID-19 vaccine. I have lost my health, my career, and my sense of security. I am struggling to make ends meet and to find the medical care that I need to recover from my injuries. I am not alone in my struggles. There are many others who have been injured by the COVID-19 vaccine, and who are struggling to find the help and support that they need. We are not just victims of circumstance; we are victims of a system that has failed us. I am calling on the government and the military medical community to take responsibility for the harm that has been caused by the COVID-19 vaccine. We need to acknowledge the suffering that has been caused and to provide the necessary support and compensation to those who have been injured. In conclusion, I want to say that I am not just a victim of the COVID-19 vaccine, I am a survivor. I am fighting to recover from my injuries and to rebuild my life. I am fighting for justice and for accountability.

    Walking Through Darkness: My Struggle and Hope At 46 years old, I was a firefighter, a husband, and a father. My life had purpose, a rhythm built on service, love, and dedication to those I care about most. I had no idea how drastically things would change after receiving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine—a vaccine meant to protect, but instead, it plunged me into a personal nightmare. The first dose on December 30, 2020, seemed routine enough. Other than mild shoulder pain and a headache, I felt fine within days. But everything changed after my second dose on February 5, 2021. That’s when the unraveling began. Two days later, my wife Jaimie and I were in the shower, talking about my day. Or at least, I thought I was talking. She looked at me with concern and asked, “Have you been drinking?” I hadn’t. But my speech didn’t make sense to her—or to me. My sentences were jumbled, words misplaced or nonsensical. I laughed it off, thinking it was just a weird side effect. But the next day, I couldn’t remember my daughter’s name. That’s when I realized something was seriously wrong. The aphasia hit hard. I struggled to find the simplest words—what to call a spatula, how to wish Jaimie a happy Valentine’s Day without saying “Happy Thanksgiving Day” by mistake. Words I’d known all my life were suddenly gone. As a firefighter and counselor, my work relies on clear communication. But I could no longer string together coherent sentences, and it was painfully clear to everyone around me. At home, my family saw me falter. At work, my colleagues witnessed me struggle through miscommunications and delays caused by my slow processing speed. But it wasn’t just my speech. My body felt like it was falling apart. Chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain, insomnia, and relentless migraines became my daily companions. I woke up more exhausted than when I went to bed. Lying down at night, the pain in my body would wake me, making sleep feel impossible. Physically, I was strong, but I didn’t feel it. Every moment of existence felt laborious, like I was dragging myself through a life that no longer resembled my own. Emotionally, I hit my lowest point. Anxiety consumed me as my cognitive impairments made even simple tasks overwhelming. Depression wrapped its dark arms around me, filling me with a sense of hopelessness and despair. More than once, I told Jaimie, “I’m not going to make it through this.” I even asked her to help me prepare for my death, so convinced was I that my time was running out. The hardest part of it all was feeling abandoned. Doctors didn’t believe me. Some outright called me a liar. During the height of the COVID pandemic, no one wanted to admit that the vaccine might have caused this. I don’t blame the doctors entirely; they were under immense pressure to follow the CDC and government narratives. But it didn’t make their dismissal hurt any less. It wasn’t until I found a neurologist who diagnosed me with chronic neurologic symptoms which she believed were triggered by the Moderna RNA vaccine (second and third doses) that I felt a small sense of validation. That diagnosis was a lifeline, proof that I wasn’t imagining this nightmare. Through it all, I clung to my faith. At my lowest point, I wrote a psalm, pouring my heart out to God. It began as a cry of despair, a lament of feeling forsaken and hopeless. But as I wrote, the light of God’s promises broke through the darkness. He reminded me that even in my suffering, He was there, and I wasn’t alone. I won’t pretend that things are better now. The uphill battle continues, and every day brings new challenges. But I’ve learned to lean on God and draw strength from scripture. For others who have suffered like me, I know how fruitless words can feel when trying to ease the grief and pain. But I also know this: there is hope. It’s not in the temporary relief of drugs or alcohol. It’s in the eternal comfort of God’s love. I hope my story serves as a testament to resilience and faith. No matter how dark the valley, I believe that light will always find a way to shine through. And for me, that light is Christ, who has never left my side—even when I couldn’t see Him.

    Immediately following vaccines, patient spiked a fever 104.5 ran fever for a week straight. Doctor was called on day 2 of fever, they instructed he must have “picked up a virus” after a week straight of fever, re-visited pediatrician who passed it off. He stopped talking, stopped walking, stopped eating, started violently beating his head on the floors, doors, walls, and displaying self injurious behavior. Pediatrician refused any assistance other than wait it out. Mother of child called early intervention services whom said expressive and receptive speech delay, sensory processing disorder and autism. After later working with a naturopathic doctor, the child was diagnosed with brain inflammation, leaky gut, apoptosis and severe deficiency due to the vaccine toxicity.

    My infant received two doses. The first dose he had a small lipoma mass in his leg afterwards with mild temperature increase. The second dose he had a fever of 101, 102 with ibuprofen and tylenol and an extremely swollen leg with a large mass covering his thigh and redness and heat with discoloration of his leg. That night he had convulsions twice. For 15 min intermittently each time. I don't think the doctors reported it so I want it reported somewhere. He did receive antibiotics for a different issue for prophylaxis that helped his leg also and he is feeling much better now. He still has masses in both legs.
