I will just say that she woke up Shabbos morning with blood pouring from her mouth, black and blue marks all over her body and petechiae all over her body. When she arrived to the hospital her blood platelets were at 3,000 (normal is between 150,000-450,000). It since dropped even lower. Her body was not initially responding to treatment either. Her mouth is full of blood pockets.
Im anon because her story will probably be pretty known. |
Neutropenia can happen with just about any medication. There's no way to know in advance if you will have this reaction or not. Half the medications that I take every day list neutropenia as a possible, but rare, side effect.

I spoke to my cardiologist about it and he said although he himself got it, he would never allow his children or grandchildren to get the vaccine. That summed it up for me.

Anecdotal doesn't mean negation.
Violet, I think everyone here recognizes that what happened to your sister is scary and real. She should have a refuah sheleima.
My ex SIL, a cancer survivor with multiple risks, is now fighting for her life with Covid. Her experience is scary and real too.
What we have to do is understand the reasons behind the scary stories, the greater odds, and weigh the risks.
I know several epidemiologists in the US and EY, and they all say the vaccine is a lifesaver. I will absolutely get it. By the time they get around to people the age of my children, I hope we will have concrete and clear data about possible fertility risks. If they continue to be as minimal as they are now, I'll encourage my children to get it, too. But there's time.

Unfortunately covid-19 can cause ITP. This hematology group (American Society of Hematology) actually still recommends the covid vaccine for patients who have stable ITP.
