Are there aftereffects from COVID-19 vaccinations in the United States? A visit to the scene in late March revealed a more severe situation than expected, showing this is not just Japan’s problem but a global issue.

About 16 hours by plane from Japan.

“We’ve arrived. Majestic mountains are in view. This is Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.”

Even in this country, where COVID-19 vaccines originated, there are reportedly many suffering from vaccine aftereffects.

A 30-minute drive from Salt Lake City, in the suburban town of Saratoga Springs, lives Brian Dressen, one of those affected by vaccine aftereffects.

“I participated in AstraZeneca’s clinical trial. I intended to do my part to help end the pandemic, but everything changed about an hour after the injection.”

In November 2020, after joining AstraZeneca’s vaccine trial, unusual symptoms appeared shortly after vaccination.

“Within an hour of vaccination, I felt a tingling sensation in the arm where I received the shot. It spread to the other arm, then to my legs, and eventually throughout my entire body. Even now, four years later, I still feel stabbing pains all over. I developed an autoimmune disorder where my immune system constantly attacks and damages my nerves. This intense pain is something I never experienced before vaccination.”
