Ohio Mom Details How Daughter Ended up in Wheelchair After Pfizer COVID Vaccine Trial
An Ohio mom came forward and detailed how her 12-year-old daughter suffered extreme reactions and almost dying after she volunteered for a Pfizer COVID vaccine trial.
Stephanie De Garay told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Thursday, July 1, that the only diagnosis they got so far is that it is conversion disorder or functional neurologic symptom disorder, with experts blaming it on anxiety, Fox News reported.
De Garay said her daughter did not have anxiety before the vaccine. She noted that her daughter could not digest food and have to be in a tube to get her nutrition.
The Ohio mom also said that her daughter, Maddie De Garay, is now in a wheelchair as she can't hold her neck up. Multiple physicians told her that her daughter could not have become gravely ill from the vaccine.

Ohio Mom Shares Daughter's Bad Experience After Pfizer COVID Vaccine Trial
Maddie De Garay was hospitalized several times after receiving her second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine. She participated in a clinical trial from December 2020 to January 2021, The Federalist reported.
Stephanie De Garay said that all three of their kids volunteered and were excited to participate in the Pfizer COVID vaccine trial.
The Ohio mom noted that her husband works in the medical field, and she has a degree in electrical engineering, citing that they are pro-vaccine and pro-science.
De Garay said her 12-year-old daughter had painful electrical shocks down her neck and spine that forced her to walk hunched over after receiving the second coronavirus vaccine dose.
She further noted that Maddie had extreme pain in her fingers and toes, which turned white. She added that they were cold when you touched them.
The Ohio mom added that her daughter started developing severe abdominal and chest pains and experienced nausea, vomiting, gastroparesis, erratic blood pressure, heart rate, and memory loss.
Stephanie De Garay said officials from the Biden administration or representatives from the Pfizer company have yet to reach out to the family.
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson has sent letters to the CEOs of Pfizer and Moderna asking answers about the adverse effects of the COVID vaccine after a June 28 press conference with affected individuals.
Pfizer COVID Vaccine On Young People
A panel of independent advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the benefits of the COVID vaccine far outweigh the risks of heart inflammation in young people.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices agreed that a warning about the potential risks should be added to the Food and Drug Administration's official fact sheets on the vaccines, NBC News reported.
The mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna had been linked to inflammation of the heart or surrounding tissue, with more than 300 cases that the CDC has confirmed in young adults.
The CDC had also presented vaccination guidance for people who have previously had myocarditis. Health officials also advised that people who developed the condition after the first dose of the vaccine should not receive the second jab at this time.
Dr. Katie Passaretti, medical director for infection prevention at Atrium Health in Charlotte, North Carolina, said you could have inflammation of the heart for various reasons. Passaretti noted that this is most common after you have a viral infection.
