Vaccine Injury Testimonial

Vaccine Injury of David Balthazor


What was your life like before you received the COVID-19 vaccine?

Prior to my illnesses from vaccine, I was a competitive powerlifter for the past 30+ yrs. I hold 6 Texas State records, 1 Illinois State record, won Nationals several times, qualified for Worlds several times and won Worlds in Germany in 2019. I was active in gym and life in general including traveling internationally.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

May 2019, I was diagnosed with a 80 cm femoral blood clot in my left leg (from groin to ankle). Soon after noticed my blood work was not normal and MRI found another blood clot in the portal vein of my liver. My secretion from my kidneys (creatinine) started to elevate indicating kidney failure. In Spring of 2024 after noticed feeling well and blood work not normal I was referred to an oncologist. This doctor found that I had a rare disease called MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance). This is a precursor to blood cancer caused by a plasma cell deformity. My kidney function continued
to decline. On August 5th, 2024 I went to bed feeling well had a normal Saturday activities. I woke up the next morning paralyzed from the waist down. An acute onset, no warning, no pain, no indications something was wrong. I was diagnosed w a rare condition called Cauda Equina, underwent 2 emergency surgeries and was hospitalized for 13 weeks. I was bed ridden, wearing an adult diaper, unable to care for myself. Also my primary doctor heard a murmur in my heart and referred me to a cardiologist. Echo determined I had my Aortic Valve that was failing and needed to have it repaired which I did in September of 2025. I requested my primary to blood test my levels of MRNA spike protein. The results were in excess of 25,000. The normal range should be less than 1000. While being treated for the valve repair it was determined my kidney were now stage 5 renal failure. I had to start dialysis on Sept 19, 2025.

Describe the solutions that helped your symptoms

My nephrologist, oncologist, hepatologist, seem to agree that my conditions are related to the Phizer vaccine.
They don’t have a solution to help me at this time

Which solutions were not helpful?

Doctors and others downplaying the possible role the vaccine has played in peoples conditions and problems. Until we are brave enough to have medical personnel come forward (which is starting) we will never know the truth.

What would you like others to know?

Vaccine injuries can be sudden onset right after exposure (like my blood clot ) but also can be associated with injuries that occur in future
