Kazumi, Auckland, NZ.

I'd like to tell you my unpleasant experience with the covid vaccine, which the government said was ‘safe and effective'.

Two weeks after the first vaccine, I had awful palpitations and breathing difficulties. My GP said there was nothing to worry about, so I had the second jab two weeks later. A few hours after the second jab, even more terrible palpitations started and soon I couldn't breathe. These symptoms came back every four hours and lasted for more than 40 days, during which I couldn't even make tea for myself, let alone do any housework as I couldn't stand up for more than 6 minutes at a time. Although I stayed at the North Shore Hospital, none of the doctors there acknowledged vaccine injury.

Luckily, I was able to find a doctor who acknowledged my vaccine injury, unlike the doctors at the North Shore Hospital. He prescribed Ivermectin for me and this medicine helped me improve my condition significantly. However, the price of Ivermectin was (and still is) ridiculously expensive and all the other treatments I received were costly as none of them was government funded. Since the government pushed this harmful vaccine saying it is safe and effective, they should cover the medical cost for the vaccine injured.

It has been two and a half years since I had these horrifying adverse reactions to the Pfizer vaccine and I'm still suffering from chest pain and palpitations occasionally now. Last year these palpitations were so severe that I was going to ask for euthanasia. Whenever my breathing problems started, I felt like killing myself. My condition is not as severe now as last year, but I still get these symptoms sometimes.

I had never had heart problems until I had the first jab, and I was a very healthy person who didn't have any major health problems. I'm just scared that I might have to live the rest of my life with these symptoms. Most of the people I have talked to are beautifully brainwashed and they treat me as if I were somehow deranged. This is all because of all the lies the government told the public.

People are normally kind to sick people and/or injured people, but not to vaccine injured people. This is what I've learned over the last 2 years and 6 months.

So, I would like the inquiry to know that there are a significant number of people, like me, who have been still suffering from awful adverse reactions to the covid vaccine and have been treated so unfairly by people who have been brainwashed by the government.
