DRAPER, Utah (ABC4) – The day after his COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine shot, 17-year-old Everest Romney felt his neck swelling. In the coming days, he suffered from severe headaches. His mother, who tells ABC4 the pediatrician initially dismissed the symptoms as a pulled neck muscle, says she was convinced it was something else.
“He could not move his neck without the assistance of his hands,” says mother Cherie Romney.
Plus, now her son suffered from fevers and incessant headaches.
Finally, after more than a week of the symptoms, the Corner Canyon High School basketball player and his family had answers: two blood clots inside his brain, and one on the outside.
“The hardest thing was I let him get that shot. And he was healthy and well before,” says Romney. “But you question it, you can’t help but question it when it all goes wrong,” she added.
Her son plays competitive basketball seven days a week, which means high contact physical activity that could have possibly aggravated the swelling caused by the vaccine.
On Friday, Everest left the ICU, but his eyes are still swollen and the road ahead is uncertain.
Cherie says she has been overwhelmed with support not just locally, but around the country. People are praying and sending messages of love, which she says are holding her family up during this time. Going forward, she says she wants parents to make the best decisions for their children, and for doctors to understand this new vaccine might bring new challenges to conventional wisdom.
She doesn’t want to discourage parents, she says, because each parent must make the best decision for their child. Still, with her son now hospitalized, she wishes her choice had been a different one.
“It was pretty awful,” says Romney.

In cases like that the question is how often is a serious problem reported in connection with a drug...a vaccine...a surgical,or medical,procedure? If it's one in a million then that's considered acceptable...and maybe even coincidental.
If it's one in one hundred...that would be considered noteworthy.
I think young people have less than a .1% chance of dying from Covid. However, there is evidence that Covid can come with long-term health ramifactions. I have no idea what that number is, but I suspect it is higher than .1%.
The reverse of this that seems to be completely lost here on FR in the entrenched discussion is that older Americans with risk factors DO NOT have the same survival rate.
Our government and media have pushed a “one-size fits all” approach to this virus from the outset and its a big mistake.
Each person has an individual health profile with risks specifically associated to them. It is no different with Covid. Age, BMI, diabetes, and other health factors have a big influence on your probability of a negative outcome from Covid.
We are now past a year of this crap and too few want to admit this or discuss it.
There is more than enough information out there to suggest the vaccine is no different yet we have the same “experts” who have failed to admit this pushing a total vaccination plan that is not warranted by “the science”.
Why is a healthy 17 year old getting the vaccine?
One that missed the shot at an abortion and is trying again.
Many schools now require it to play team sports.................
Write a letter to the insurance company explaining that by not allowing you to continue the medication you had they ended up paying a LOT MORE.
Probably won’t help, but might make you feel better.
Remember,at least several people...maybe even a hundred people...die every day while getting out of bed in the morning. But about 330 million have little or no problem doing so (other than "oh,God...not *this* again!").
What you say is accurate, but when there is literally no good reason to give the vaccine to the seventeen-year-old in the first place even the tiniest risk is unacceptable
Shingles is also a now known side effect of the Pfizer vaccination. There are searchable articles on it so don’t just take my word for it. I search for them because TWO members of my family came down with shingles within a week of the Pfizer vaccination. One on my side and one on my wife’s side, and we are as genetically different as it gets.
It’s also possible that he has an elderly grandparent living with him who *would* be in serious trouble if he/she caught the virus.
One can dig a bit into that at any time, since mid to late December to now, with up to date data. Caveat: it is estimated that 10% of adverse events lead to a report.
I’ve had Chicken Pox, so Shingles is definitely possible for me..................

A mother who loves her child and believes everything the medical community tells her.
They just
a) call people pointing this out "flat earthers"
b) claim that there's a lot of causes of blood clots, so we don't really know
c) repeat numbers from Fauci and the CDC as though they're gospel
d) call people pointing out the clots "anti-vaxxers" and accuse them of thinking Bill Gates is putting mind-control chips into the injections
e) call the doctors pointing out issues "Kooks" while ignoring published scientific and medical literature issues
Elderly people are always at serious risk of dying from the flu. There is no reason to take the vaccine with a 99.9% survival rate.
But at least he is safe from that 0.1% (if that) chance of dying from the coronavirus, if he caught it. Well, he’s safer, anyway ... for a few months ... maybe.

An excellent podcast, by the way is the Bret Weinstein Darkhorse podcast, which explores many issues with Covid and Covid vaccines in-depth. One such episode was “Absolute Vs Relative risk reduction from COVID vaccines”. In the podcast they talk about the way the media has touted the vaccines being 90% or 95% “effective”. However, this is only the relative risk reduction. In actuality, the absolute risk-reduction of the vaccines is something less than 2%.

Lots of evidence out there that getting Covid-19 has lasting effects on health.

Me too. From my perspective the word "Doctor" has become a synonym for "shut up."
It's a question of percentages...as it is in most of life's pursuits. When one is careful,crossing a busy street has a 1 in 10,000 chance of being killed by a car or truck. I'd certainly take that chance if I was going to my favorite doughnut shop. If it was 1 in 50 I sincerely doubt that I would.
Are you catching my drift here?
