GOOCHLAND COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — A Virginia man suffered a severe reaction after getting his COVID-19 vaccine and doctors believe it was a direct result of the shot.
Richard Terrell got the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine earlier this month. He suffered a severe rash that spread over his entire body and turned his skin red. The 74-year-old was admitted to the hospital and spent five days at the VCU Medical Center.
On March 6, Terrell received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in Ashland, Virginia. He said that everything went perfectly fine, however four days later he started experiencing symptoms.

A MUM was left in agony suffering the "worst two weeks of her life" after having her Covid vaccine.
Leah King broke out in a nasty skin rash just weeks after having her jab.
She had her first dose of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine on March 12 but said she is still dealing with the pain of a rash.
The 41-year-old said her body broke out in a burning rash that spread across her face, chest and back of the arms.
The rash is so painful it has left Leigh struggling to look after her 13-year-old son Aidan, for whom she is an unpaid carer.
A rash or pain after the Covid vaccine are listed as potential side effects.
And along with other side effects, in many cases they are deemed a good sign that the body's immune system has kicked into gear in reaction to the jab.
But, Leigh was left suffering a more severe case, which is more rare. Despite her ordeal, the mum stressed she is not against having the vaccine but called for more support for people who do suffer side effects.
Leigh, from Wishaw in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, said: “My skin was so sore and constantly hot. I have never felt pain like this it has been a horrible experience.
“I am a very healthy person and am not on any medication or anything like that. I am not even in a vulnerable category.
“I only got the vaccine as I am an unpaid carer for my son who has autism and mobility issues.
“I haven’t even been able to care for him since I got the vaccine as I am in such pain.”
Leigh was given the vaccine at the Ravenscraig vaccine centre and began to feel adverse side-effects almost immediately.
“It was a horrible feeling,” she said.
“Never in my life was I prepared for what I was about to experience.
“To say it’s been the worst time of my life is an absolute understatement.”

Side effects are not unexepected after a vaccine and generally mean the jab is doing its job.
More than one in ten people who have the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine will have tenderness, pain, warmth, itching or bruising where the injection is given.
They may also feel generally unwell, tired or sick.
Itchy skin or a rash is less common, affecting around one in 100 people, clinical trials showed.
This is because vaccines can trigger an inflammatory response which shows up in the skin.
For the Pfizer vaccine, which uses different technology, a skin rash could be a sign of an allergic reaction to the components of the jab, according to the Government website.
Leigh said her vaccine letter said go to hospital if side-effects are still occuring 48 hours after vaccination.
She claimed: “I went to Wishaw A&E but was turned away.
“I went back twice more and the last time I was in such pain I could barely walk out the hospital.”
Currently waiting to see a skin specialist, Leigh said the reaction to the vaccine has seriously impaired her ability to look after Aidan.
She said: “Aidan has also found this whole thing difficult.
“He is scared to come near me because of how my skin looks and he struggles to understand what is going on.
“At home is his happy place and I am his best pal, I got this vaccine to care for Aidan but I haven’t even been able to do that.
“This has just been such a tough situation, and has been so physically and mentally draining for the whole family.
“He is seeing a specialist in Glasgow soon and I won’t be able to be there for him. I can’t be there when he needs me most.”
Leigh stressed she is not against the vaccines - the life-saving jabs have been given to more than 30 million Brits so far.
But she feels as though there has been a lack of follow-up care in her case.
She said: “I feel so let down on every level. I’m now waiting to see a skin specialist as it’s been such an extreme reaction and also need an eye test as my eyes are so dry.
“I wish there was more support for people if this happens to them.”
An NHS spokesperson said: “We are unable to discuss individual patient care and would ask the patient to contact us directly to discuss their concerns.”
A mother whose two-year-old son spent five days in hospital fighting a severe case of chickenpox has called for anyone who wants them to get vaccinations on the NHS against the disease.
Sarah Allen urged ministers to rethink eligibility for immunisation, under which only those looking after children with a weakened immune system, for example because they are undergoing chemotherapy, can receive it.
Allen, a nursery manager in Cambridgeshire, spoke out after doctors said her son Jasper’s chickenpox was the worst case of the usually mild illness they had ever seen. The toddler became so ill last month that staff at Hinchingbrooke hospital in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, put him on an intravenous drip and gave him antibiotics, antiviral drugs and morphine.
Allen claims that Jasper was initially denied treatment when her GP practice refused to let her see a doctor. “When I first called our local GP’s surgery, I spoke to the receptionist to make an appointment for Jasper, but when I told her it was chickenpox, she said to me,‘Every mother thinks their child has bad chickenpox.’ I knew I wasn’t being a neurotic mother. I have two children and have run a nursery and seen hundreds of kids with chickenpox before, so I knew this wasn’t normal.
“When Jasper was admitted to hospital, it was scary, but I was also relieved I was actually being taken seriously and that they were doing something about it. We couldn’t hold him for three days because he screamed every time we touched him.” Jasper’s chickenpox was so severe that he has had scans of his heart to ascertain whether he has suffered any long-term damage as a result, she added.
Immunisation against the disease is not part of the government’s childhood vaccination programme. Jabs are given only to adults and children who are in close contact with someone who is either immuno-suppressed or would otherwise be at risk if they got chickenpox.

What’s the real reason Britons aren't offered the chickenpox vaccine?

Public Health England, which oversees NHS vaccination schemes, indicated that no change of policy was imminent. A spokesman added: “The expert advisory body the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation is currently undertaking a review of a childhood vaccination programme against chickenpox in the UK, based on the available scientific evidence, including consideration of the cost-effectiveness of any programme. This review is likely to be concluded next year.” Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust, which runs the children’s inpatient ward at Hinchingbrooke, where Jasper was treated, said in a statement that: “We can confirm Mrs Allen’s statement that Jasper Allen was treated on our children’s inpatient ward for five days with a severe case of chickenpox.”
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough clinical commissioning group, which oversees GP services in the area, said it could not comment on any individual patient’s treatment. It has not received a complaint from Allen about her local GP surgery refusing her an appointment. In a statement, it said: “Chickenpox is usually a mild illness from which most children recover on their own. Symptoms include a high temperature, aches and pains, and a rash of blisters. These usually pass within a week or two, and the blisters dry up and fade.
“The best treatment is to use soothing creams and/or appropriate doses of paracetamol to ease any discomfort, while keeping your child hydrated by giving them lots to drink.
“It is highly advisable that parents and carers keep a watchful eye on children who have chickenpox, as complications, although rare, can develop, especially in children who are very young, are on other medications, or who may have a weakened immune system.”
Chickenpox, transmitted by the varicella-zoster virus, is highly contagious and results in a blisterlike rash, itching, fatigue and fever.
It usually presents as a mild illness, but can sometimes cause complications like bacterial skin infections, bloodstream infections, pneumonia, infection of the brain — even death.
“It is important to understand that even healthy children and adults may develop serious complications from varicella,” Dr. Mullendore said.
The illness can be more severe in immunocompromised people, children younger than 1 year of age, pregnant women, adolescents and adults, she added.
So another med After they cause this symptom?

For those unaware, Luigi Warren is the current President and CEO of Cellular Reprogramming, Inc, a biotechnology firm based in California. More importantly, Luigi is renowned for his work with Derrick Rossi, the co-founder of the famous biotechnology company Moderna.
Back in 2010, Luigi and Derrick worked together to be the first to describe mRNA-based reprogramming in a pathbreaking paper in Cell Stem Cell, titled Highly efficient reprogramming to pluripotency and directed differentiation of human cells with synthetic modified mRNA. The work was named one of the top ten scientific breakthroughs of 2010 by the journal Science, as well as one of the top ten medical breakthroughs of the year by TIME magazine.

In short, Luigi is one of the pioneers of the prevalent applications of mRNA technology, possibly including the Covid-19 vaccine. Twitter deleting his post on the grounds of fake information seems to be a bit far-fetched move in disguise of a fact check.

Luigi pointed this out in an appeal to the flagged content. He mentioned to Twitter how he believes that the reason he was locked out of Twitter is unfair and that he is "the inventor of the technology on which Moderna was founded," and so he knows what he is talking about.
The appeal was to contest Twitter's decision to block the content from public view. A report on the tweet left Luigi with only an option of deleting it for violating Twitter Rules. Though it was not specified which rules were violated by the tweet, it is likely that the content was marked for misinformation.
Luigi could appeal for the said violation being a mistake, and he did. Though that still means that he will be locked out of his Twitter account until Twitter reviews the appeal.
This really says it all.
It is also what I have found concerning my own family, friends and what I have been teaching others and showing them.
Very sad that some chose those committed to the dark sides' ways over those of us who were showing them vast truths for years!
