Vaccine Injury of Holly Francis

Prior to the looming threat of the vaccine mandate, I was a healthy happy 46 year old female living a clean, healthy lifestyle. I am a non-drinker, non-smoker, non-drug user Christian who has always believed in a healthy lifestyle as the best medicine and most effective disease prevention. I was a runner for many many years. I have taught fitness classes for over 30 years and only took preventative medication (inhaler) for my asthma (from childhood) which was well controlled with the oral steroid inhaler. I have been a VA RN for nearly 25 years and have 6.5 years until I retire with a pension. I am single and own a home with a mortgage and I have two dogs. When the vaccine mandate came around, I hoped and prayed that it would be similar to the flu shot mandate. A mandate that was not enforced to those who didn't want it for reasons of moral or religious conviction. As a RN, I have never seen pharmaceuticals cure anyone. In fact, it's just the opposite. I have a healthy immune system and all the time working with very sick covid patients over the 2+ years as a RN (and I work all areas of the hospital as a RN) I never contracted Covid. I never even got sick during that time and we were not provided appropriate PPE during that time. I felt like my system was healthy enough to overcome many illnesses that were plaguing others close to me and I had grave concerns about both Covid, Covid treatments and the so called vaccine from the get go. As a RN, another roll of mine was on the Rapid Response/Medical Emergency team. During the roll outs of the Covid vaccine at my facility, there were rapid responses called to the vaccine clinics, sometimes, every 15 minutes. They were frequent and they were serious with many civilian workers requiring transport to the emergency room to follow up. I knew many co-workers who had no serious medical history who were dying in their sleep with nothing leading up to these events and who had embolic showers. People were getting very sick from the vaccine. This solidified my moral conviction and my religious reasons for not wanting the vaccine even more so.

I complied with all the requirements during the temporary injunction. I submitted my written narrative and mandatory VA form requesting religious exemption. I did this as many times as my employer required me to do it. I also complied with the weekly swabbing. I felt very singled out at this time. There were many employees, including my manager telling me to just take the shot, it will be fine and some were even snubbing me for holding my ground. I was extremely stressed about the whole situation. When the injunction came about, I had a period of reprieve and I prayed that the mandate would cease to exist. However, in January of 2022, the injunction was lifted and the mandate was back on. I stayed in contact with a high level employee who informed me that they were not going to issue any religious, medical, or moral exemptions to any direct/acute care RN about a week prior to my first dose. This source told me that my department would be getting their letters (comply or goodbye) within days. I went catatonic over this. I couldn't speak for a few days and I couldn't move from my couch. I just laid there and cried. I went back and forth thinking that this could end my life vs. some people were unharmed. I have a mortgage and a pension with no back up support. Could I risk losing everything I had worked so hard for? I prayed a lot. Then, I made my appointment to get my first dose about a week prior to receiving my first dose. I showed up to the Walgreens pharmacy for my evening appointment (my S/O was with me) and there was a note on the pharmacy door stating they were closed due to staff shortages. My S/O told me this was God telling me what to do. I broke down in tears. I was so torn. I didn't want the jab, but I also didn't want to lose my job, my pension, my ability to care for my pets (financially) or my home. I was still getting pressure from my manager to get the jab- she assured me I would be fine, many of my team mates backed her sentiment. I made another appointment at Walgreens for 3/30/2022. I wrote all over my consent form that I did not agree, that I was being coerced and that I was doing this against my will. I cried the entire time I was at Walgreens and told the pharmacist who was administering the lethal toxin that I was not consenting at will. He saw my distress and administered my first dose. I didn't feel well and I cried all day. I developed some mild chest pain which sustained. The reason I took the dose before getting my letter was that I knew I was going to get a termination letter and I wanted as much time and space between doses as I could have. They were pressing people for the 2 week window for compliance. I wanted more than 2 weeks between doses. A few weeks later, I did receive that termination letter and was asked to make a decision. I stated that I got one dose and they told me I needed a second to be in compliance. I went back to Walgreens for my second dose on 4/27/22 and This time, I marked my consent form as before but I did not sign it. I was still crying and I reported my chest pain since the first dose to the pharmacist administering the injection. My boyfriend filmed the whole thing. The pharmacist administered the jab anyway. Within 12 hours of the jab, I was in the ED with terrible chest pain, lung pain, confusion, brain fog, shortness of breath. I thought I was going to die. The ER didn't document the jab in my record at all. They did an incomplete work up and sent me home with a diagnosis of pleurisy. The next day, I contacted my longtime MD who was horrified. Within an hour she had me in for a CT Chest, Echo, and additional labs. The echo showed grade I MR but nothing else was remarkable. She prescribed a prednisone burst and a stress test. My stress test was unremarkable and I went to see a cardiologist. He dismissed everything. I had to ask for a holter - I was having irregular heart racing and painful-irregular heart beats with dizziness and shortness of breath. I filled out a diary with my holter and submitted that with the device to Phillips. The report came back negative stating the events didn't correlate to any symptoms. I was never without symptoms. In fact, when I would lay down to sleep, the heart racing was so bad, I couldn't sleep- I was afraid I wouldn't wake up. My doctor prescribed colchechine for my heart and diazepam so I could sleep. I took diazepam as needed for a few weeks at night and was able to rest. The colchicine and prednisone didn't really help. I was off work for, 60 days, during some of this. I filed workman's comp immediately after my injury and my claim was accepted. I also filed with EEO at my VA, which went no where. During my time off work, I settled my estate. I didn't think I was coming out of this alive. I also searched for attorneys to help me file a suit against my employer. No one was helping until finally, Late that summer, I got a call from a firm willing to take my case as a religious discrimination case. I had to pay $3000 out of pocket for depositions which I have not recovered. My attorneys have been stonewalled by the VA and lied to (we have proof) by the VA while under oath. I have the option to file a law suit at this point, but I don't have the finances to file that suit. My attorneys also had to contact Phillips for the rhythm strips/diary copy in full because Phillips would not submit the records to me. This was how we were able to prove that the company lied about the outcome of my testing. Walgreens did not respond to the letter sent by my attorneys over the consent matter, or lack there of, as well as the administration of the vax under duress and with reported chest pain after the first dose and prior to the second. I did not have the finances to file a suit with Walgreens or with Phillips. Over the 3 years of struggling to navigate workman's comp, many of my medical treatments were eventually covered, however, I have been unable to find a w/c MD who can or is willing to prescribe my ongoing and very effective treatment with LDN. LDN has to date been the most effective treatment for my brain fog, chest pain (which was up until starting LDN daily and constant), SOB, fatigue however the cost of the treatment is variable and approximately $100/month out of pocket. WC states they will pay for the treatment but only after they receive a prior authorization from a WC credentialed MD.

Throughout Covid (prior to vax), after vax, and to date, I have taken the following regimens daily - colostrum, nattokinase (D3K2MK&), bromelain, curcumin, zinc, and vitamin c. I believe with all my heart that this regimen, taken before, during and after is why I am alive today. Other things that helped (I believe) I went to Mexico to receive stem cells, hyperbaric treatment, Beamer, Rife, glutothione infusions. I believe all of these treatments were extremely helpful, but the hyperbaric was likely the most helpful. I was only undergoing treatment for 3 days at the clinic in Mexico, but I noticed a major difference in my overall well being. I believe that if I could have done hyperbaric for 6 months straight, my outcomes would have drastically improved. Diazepam was very helpful early on with arrhythmias at night, the feeling of impending doom when I would lay down, and in reducing fears about dying in my sleep. Prior to all of this, I had never used diazepam and did not have any history of mental illness, anxiety, etc (still don't have those issues but I do believe I still have some underlying anxiety and I am certain I have PTSD over this although not diagnosed. The next thing that helped the most was low-dose naltrexone (LDN). This has been a wonder treatment for all of my symptoms and it is the only treatment that has reduced my chest pain to zero to near zero most days. My dose is currently 4.5 mg. I am looking for a WC provider to prescribe this for me and do a prior auth for WC or for assistance paying for this. This treatment may be life-long. After returning from Mexico, I purchased a Hooga Chakra Mat. This mat does infrared heat, photobiomodulation, and frequency. I have found this to be a great investment in helping my symptoms. I notice a difference when I haven't used the mat for a few days. I try to use it daily for at least 20 minutes. I also felt that prevagin was helpful for my brain fog and memory. I took it for 3 months and noticed a big difference, however, it was $100/month out of pocket. WC does not cover any supplements and I could not afford to keep on that supplement. The last thing I did was urotherapy. This was extremely helpful and I did this early on in my first year before Mexico and before LDN. I can't tell you how much this did for me. It was almost instantaneous. I just struggled to continue it after about 8 months of doing it daily. I got sick for a while and was on antibiotics, so I stopped. Then I just couldn't start back. It's not an easy thing to swallow- literally, but so incredibly effective. I wish I could get back on that regimen, but I am just struggling. Prayer- lots of prayer.

I used many supplements. I can't say that they didn't help. I just didn't feel much different. Here's what I used. Chlorophyl, activated charcoal, methylene blue (not sure if I used a good one), Omega 3, NAD (oral and IV), NAC, oral glutothione, oral ivermectin 3 mg x 2 doses (maybe not enough?), cholestyramine binder, Paratrex I and II, metoprolol (helped when my HR and blood pressure were elevated initially and with other chest symptoms, but I couldn't tolerate it so I took it intermittently when symptoms were bad - this was in the first year), colchicine, prednisone, resveratrol. I tried all of these things (and likely more) for about 3 months each. Because I didn't really feel different on them and they were added cost, I didn't continue them.

I am trying to stay positive, but I am angry that this happened to us and even more upset that we are not getting the help or the financial support that we should have. I pray for understanding and guidance often. I pray for healing- for all of us. I cry when I think of how God told me to trust him and I didn't have enough faith to trust him. I regret that so deeply. After the mandate by my employer and all the threats from my employer, the employees that held out survived. No one was fired and nothing happened to them. It is so hard for me to come to terms with that but I don't want to hold on to hate or stress or negative energy. I want to keep my chin up and move forward and heal. I am doing considerably well. After my time off from work in the beginning, my doctor encouraged me to continue exercising but also to listen to my body. I did go and teach all of my classes, but I did very little myself. I mostly just led the class but couldn't do exercises with the members. It wasn't until I got on the LDN that I could really start doing things. I am far from being where I was prior to all of this but I am thankful for the progress I have made. I pray that God will bring justice for us all. I pray that we are all able to heal completely. I pray that something like this NEVER happens again. I pray that I can help others to heal. On a side note, I have had many tendon and ligament issues since about 3 months after the vax. I have not recovered from those injuries and am wondering if others have experienced the same or similar issues. I also am hoping to learn other treatments that may be beneficial to my recovery. I will not give up the fight on this- for me and for others. I have included photos of the heart monitor I wore and another photo from my treatments while in Mexico. God Bless and thank you!
