I'm 41 and on now heart medication thanks to Moderna. I used to be healthy, teach snowboarding and climb Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks. Now, it's hard climbing up a flight of stairs thanks to #VaccineSideEffects

My story is hardly unique. There are countless thousands of us suffering in silence with #VaccineSideEffects. No acknowledgement by the gov, no research by drug makers, no coverage by the media. Stigmatized by the public and left for dead. realnotrare.com

Organizations like @React19org are working on advocating, researching and understanding long covid and vaccine injuries, but we need support: react19.org

If people want to help those who suffered vaccine injuries, contact your elected officials and ask them (nicely) to support the Countermeasure Injury Compensation Act to financially help those of us who took one for the team, but are currently being left for dead. @SenatorHick

Is the vax saving lives? All my doctors have overwhelmingly said yes. Is it ruining a percent of lives? Also, yes. My story isn't meant to be used as political propaganda to dissuade anyone from getting the shot. It's to help bring awareness to those of us who have been injured.

FAQ: Why did I get the vax? I believed the BS we were told by the gov and media, voices questioning that narrative weren't heard, all my friends/family were fine after their shots, doctors recommended it, if I wanted to work or see my elderly parents again, I'd have to get it.
