Ron St. Pierre Describes His Near Death, Covid Vax Experience
I got my first Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine shot on February 25th 2021.
The next week I went out to run in my neighborhood but just couldn’t find my breathing rhythm. The following day while my wife and I were walking our dog I couldn’t catch my breath and cut the walk short. When we got home, my breathing difficulties continued and I became lightheaded and broke into a flop sweat.
I told my wife to call 9-1-1 as I thought I was having a heart attack. The rescue brought me to Kent County Emergency where it was determined I had suffered a Pulmonary embolism. It was a “saddle” embolism , a large thrombo-embolism that straddles the main pulmonary. The E-R doctors were baffled because I’m not obese (I can certainly use to drop some weight), I don’t smoke and I’ve run over 10 half marathons.
I was immediately put on anticoagulation meds, first Heparin then Apixaban. I was kept in the hospital for three days. It was determined the sub-massive pulmonary embolism was due to a clot in my left leg.
From the time I was in the ER until the time I was discharged I asked every doctor if the vaccine was the cause of this event. Everyone was non committal. One doctor told my wife had she called 9-1-1 only a few hours later, she’d be making “other arrangements.”
I was put on the blood thinner Eliquis for three months after which tests showed the thinners had prevented clots from growing and my body dissolved them and I was able to get off the meds. It wasn’t until a second visit with my hematologist during that three month period that I was told the clot was likely caused by the vaccine. Still, we mutually decided that I should take the 2nd vaccine dose … thankfully, without incident.
This is in no way criticism of Kent County as they did a great job taking care of me during this crisis.
