A 90-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 16Feb2021 (Lot Number: EL9267) (at age of 90-year-old) as 2ND DOSE SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing atrial fibrillation, stent placement from 19Jun2020 and ongoing (successful in the descending aorta), and ongoing Heart problems. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient received the first dose of BNT162B2, administered in Arm Right on 05Feb2021(Lot: EL9263) (at age of 89-year-old) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient would like to talk to an individual regarding his side effects he has been having since his two COVID vaccinations in Feb 2021. Ten days after the second inoculation on 26Feb2021, he woke in the middle of the night with jaw pain. He was in great pain. The pain went down his left shoulder and back . His wife said that morning that those were signs of heart problems. He does have Atrial Fibrillation, and he had a stent placed 19 Jun 2020. He went to the emergency room where they checked him out for heart problems. He had a clean bill of health. They sent him home, and told him to take Tylenol for the pain. The Tylenol certainly helps. It took whatever number of days for it to subside. It subsided for 2 weeks, but then he developed pain down his right side of his shoulder, and down in his hips. Once again they figured they better get back to the ER. They did EKG and a X-ray. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his stent. They told him just to continue with Tylenol to control the pain. He went a third time to the emergency room because he was having problems breathing. The emergency room put him through the COVID entry at Kaiser because of the difficulty breathing. They re did all the previous work, and did a scan of his lung to check for blood clots. He thinks they did that because 6 people died from blood clots from Johnsons and Johnson. They wanted to see if there were blood clots, but there were no blood clots. They told him he needed to make an appointment with his primary who then referred him to a Cardiologist. On 11May2021, he saw his primary doctor who ordered another scan because they found possibly a swollen lymph node on his trachea. The doctor measured that, and said to wait a month to do that again. To see any change in it. On the 26 May 2021, he has his next appointment to get that rechecked. He hasn't had a comfortable day since this started. He has had pains in different parts of his body that last for 2-3 days and then some place else starts to hurt. His left ankle, right side heel, and shoulders also hurt. The pain was under control if he takes ibuprofen, but his doctor advised him against too much of that because of his kidneys. It was very effective. The Tylenol works to some extent, but not like the Ibuprofen. He is just living with it day to day. He can play tennis some days. One day he played tennis and came home with chills. His wife took his temperature and it was 100.3. In the last week and half this has happened two times. After the second shot this has happened probably four times. He has weird fevers for one day with no other symptoms. Ever since 26Feb2021, it has been on a daily basis that some place else hurts. One subsides , but another pain starts up elsewhere. If that is not happening, then his whole demeaner is dead. He is just not comfortable and sitting around he feels like he was wasting what life he has left. He used to be a PE teacher. He has always been in good physical condition. He was 5k and walking 5ks every 4th of Jul. He would compete. He prepared for this 90 birthday/ His goal was to do a 5k in under 60 minutes. He worked out like always , and played tennis 3 days a week to prepare. He also played ball. He likes to walk run 2-3 miles most days. He did his 5k in 52minutes, and he was celebrating. Then ten days later this all started happening. The patient/caller has been tested for COVID, and it was negative. The aches and pains were moving around. He was still having breathing difficulties. Sometimes he can't talk because of the breathing. It just goes away. If it is something like the tumor or a node on the trachea wouldn't it be happening all the time? Sometimes he can't talk because the breathing is bad. It comes and goes. It is more often recently. It is like all the sudden he can't breath and can't talk. That started right at the beginning. It has gotten progressively worse. He took Tylenol to help the pain in his body. Nothing has helped his breathing. He tried antihistamines to see if maybe it was hay fever or something , but there was no difference. He didn't know where to go from here. He was feeling horrible. He was just waiting on 26 May2021, for the second scan without color of thorax to see those results. The patient said he didn't have questions. The outcome of events was unknown.

Shortly afterwards I read an article from researchers who stated they had found fragments of the herpes virus in the vaccine. After the second vaccine he was fine one day and 2 days later started having seizures. He was hospitalized for the seizures. His personality totally changed. He no longer recognized my sister. He also became hostile which is not the person he was. He was released from the hospital and brought to a new facility. Then the lights went out. he just stared off into space.

cranial nerve 3 palsy. Ptosis of the left eye, it was completely shut; cannot hear; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician. A 93-years-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration on 22Jan2021 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included atrial fibrillation, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. Concomitant medications were not reported. No additional vaccines administered on the same date of the vaccine and no prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. The reporter is the family's physician, who stated that the patient received the first dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine on 22Jan2021 and three days later (25Jan2021), his left eye had ptosis - he was unable to open his left eye and it was completely shut. The patient came to him and when he would try to lift the eyelid up, it would just drop down. He then called a neuro ophthalmologist, he thought to himself that the patient could be having a stroke. The patient was sent to the Emergency Room and kept overnight to do CT of brain, MRI of brain, CT of orbits and MRI of neck. All tests came back normal, there was no stroke. The patient was discharged and was told to go see an ophthalmologist; the eye doctor diagnosed him with Cranial Nerve 3 Palsy. The reporter had read the consultation notes; the eye doctor "wrote 1-2 days after he had COVID and had this happen". The reporter clarified that the patient never had COVID, maybe this was a misunderstanding or typo with the doctor, but the patient just had the vaccine. The point is that the patient was diagnosed. The reporter further added that the patient can't hear, and so he will provide the patient's son's phone number. The reporter would like to know if this is a possible side effect of the vaccine and if he should receive the second dose of the vaccine as he is due in two days (Friday at 8:30AM on 12Feb2021). It was also reported that the ptosis has not gotten worse and has not resolved. The reporter added that the patient was admitted to the hospital for a full day. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included computerized tomography (CT) of the brain, CT of the neck, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and MRI of the orbits-all of which resulted normal in Feb2021. The events cranial nerve 3 palsy and 'Ptosis of the left eye, it was completely shut' had not resolved while the outcome of the rest of the events was unknown. Information on the batch/lot number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: By close temporal relationship, the company cannot completely exclude that the reported cranial nerve 3 palsy' is related to BNT162b2 administration, even though medical history including atrial fibrillation, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, in the setting of elderly age, can be considered confounding factors in the overall clinical evaluation of this event occurred three days after the vaccination. Conversely, even though cannot be excluded as reportable event based on the information provided, the company deems there is not a reasonable possibility that the reported deafness is related to BNT162b2 administration, but, at the present time, evaluated as an intercurrent condition that cannot be also excluded as already present before the vaccination. The impacts of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to Regulatory Authorities, Ethics Committees and Investigators, as appropriate.
