Hey, look, it’s another article by WorldNetDaily’s Bob Unruh in which he falsely fearmongers some more about vaccines:
A woman who was forced to take several vaccine shots in order to obtain basic health care now is fighting for her life, according to a Substack report by Steve Kirsch, a researcher and reporter on COVID policies and vaccines.
“No vax, no care,” he reports. “So she had to get 3 vaccines. Within 10 minutes, she was blind in both eyes. She’s now fighting for her life. Doctors are baffled as to the cause since it can’t be the vaccines.”
The woman is Alexis Lorenze, 23.
“This is one of the most horrific vaccine injury stories I’ve ever heard of,” Kirsch documents.”
Alexis Lorenze is a 23-year old young woman with a history of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) since January 2024. The hematologist (Zahra Pakbaz) at her hospital (UC Irvine Health) refused to give her further care for her PNH unless she took the Tetanus, Pneumococcal and Meningitis vaccines.”
“Within 10 minutes of the 3 vaccines which were given all at the same time, Alexis went temporarily blind in both eyes, had a locked jaw, began vomiting and then things went horribly downhill from there.”
The report noted as of Tuesday, she had been moved to ICU, and the hospital now knows “the world is watching.”
“This has elevated her treatment to be what she should have gotten in the first place. The doctor who required the 3 vaccines is nowhere to be found. I want to see the scientific data justifying her refusal to treat Alexis without those 3 vaccines. There is no data whatsoever that I’m aware of. The legal team was hoping to press criminal charges against me for publishing Alexis’s medical records, but they’ve learned that this was done with permission, so now they have no case.”
If Kirsch was the “researcher and reporter” Unruh wants us to believe he is — he’s actually a tech bro and anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist, so he’s neither — he should know that this is not how vaccines work. As actual medical experts at Science Feedback reported:
- Lorenze had been trying to self-manage her PNH condition and was ill for two weeks before seeking medical attention.
- Lorenze’s medical records, as released by Kirsch, showed she had tested positive for a parovirus B19 infection, which is a known trigger of PNH crises.
- While vaccines can exacerbate PNH, it’s unlikely that it was the sole cause. Further, vaccines are routinely recommended prior to PNH treatment due to infection risk. Further, the onset of symptoms almost immediately after the vaccines runs contrary to how vaccines work, making it extremely unlikely that they were the sole cause.
Unruh and WND have once again made the mistake of trusting a known misinformer on medical issues. When will they learn?
