A 19-year-old teenager from Las Vegas suffered seizures and blood clots after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine last March.
Dr. Simone Gold, the founder of America’s frontline doctors, posted a clip from a documentary on Twitter about the story of a teenager named Emma Burkey, who developed a series of rare health problems following the Johnson & Johnson shot.
Emma says she had to undergo five surgeries in total including 3 brain surgeries with feeding and breathing tubes, as well as overcoming four strokes that affected both sides of her body, 8 News Now reported.
“I had fevers and vomiting. The doctor said it was normal, so we didn’t think any of it,” Emma narrated.
Watch Emma’s full story:
Emma is now on the road to recovery, after 10 months since she received her Johnson & Johnson shot.
8 News Now reported:
“I’m very grateful that I was able to get better. The doctors said I was most likely not able to walk at all, now I can walk, not as great as before but I’ll take what I can get,” Emma tells 8 News Now.
She is now on the road to recovery, her weekly therapy has allowed her to stand on her own with the use of a walker and most recently with a cane.
Emma’s mother Kathy is grateful for her daughter’s positive outlook as she continues to move forward.
“Seeing where she is today, she is a miracle, she is amazing. Her attitude and God is what has gotten her this far,” Kathy expressed.
She tells 8 News Now she and her daughter both received the vaccine to protect themselves from COVID but adds that they now regret that decision.
“When you are literally faced with the possibility that your child could not be there the next day when they were completely healthy is just gut-wrenching, you just can not breathe, “added Kathy.
