Yeah. That's what happened.
Yeah ok cheers. That's a noble thing to do. I think it's super brave to be in a medical trial without knowing the outcome. Hats off to you for your goodwill in trying to help find a solution for the population.
I was wondering, were you thinking at all during the trials that maybe being a test case was risky? I'm assuming people going into vaccine trials have no doubts about the safety of vaccines in general? How did the trial organisers/scientists/Drs react after you got injured? Was there any acknowledgement of a potential problem with the vaccine?
It's the same protein as the Pfizer so the risk seemed fairly low, and there was a pre phase one group of just 30 volunteers and no injuries were reported from that group, and I the only other option I had was the Pfizer so at least this way there was a chance I'd land in the control group.
The immunologist wrote a letter excluding me from RNA vaccines because of the injury but didn't follow through by marking that on the vaccine register, my GP also didn't mark it on the vaccine register, his nurse demanded I book multiple Pfizer shots immediately even though she'd read the professor's letter.
One of the junior trial doctors, the one that recruited me for the study, seemed genuinely concerned, but since the letter everyone else has just ghosted me.
I made a recent call to the head of the hospital because the trial was covered by insurance and I'm supposed to be considered for compensation, no telling if the message will get through, I've finally found a lawyer that might be willing to take the case but I'll give the hospital one more chance to respond.
