Vaccine Injury of Kyle Schneck

Prior to the taking the vaccine, I was healthy and very active, running and working out daily. My first health episode began in July 2020 when I had a shingles outbreak. I believe I may have contracted the COVID-19 virus prior to that episode, although my symptoms were very mild (only loss of taste and smell). I continued to feel like myself until about a year later.

In March 2021 and April 2021, I took the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. I did not have a strong adverse reaction to the vaccine, only a mild headache and brain fog for a few days. I did not notice any changes to my health until August of 2021 when I had my first gout flare up. Given my medical history, healthy diet, and regular exercise routine, my doctor was as surprised as I was. In December of 2021, I had another gout flare up, and my doctor put me on medication to reduce my Uric acid levels. At this time, I also began recording higher blood pressure levels. Over the next few months, I noticed that I was experiencing persistent joint pain and inflammation in my body. I attributed this to “being in my 40s”. With inflammation persisting I thought perhaps I had a food allergy and did a food allergy test which did not identify any notable allergies. I then thought perhaps my inflammation was attributed to working too hard and not coping well with stress, and so I considered these physical feelings as my “new normal”. January 2024, I started to get some odd symptoms, beginning with persistent salivation. A few weeks later, my cognitive function degraded as I experienced persistent brain fog. I went to see a naturopath who ran blood tests and determined that I had several confections, as I showed with elevated antibody counts for Lyme, Coxsackie, and EBV. Over the next 18 months, I tried antiobiotics, several ozone therapy and HBOT treatments, with no lasting improvements. My inflammation, brain fog, and now headaches and tinnitus, has only intensified. I get tremors at night when I lay in bed to settle down my nervous system. I also feel like I have heart palpitations and decreased physical endurance. I notice at times what feels like a sudden blood pressure drop when I stand up and I don’t sleep as well as I used to. I am now under the belief that the COVID-19 virus + COVID vaccines I took awoke these dormant viruses and bacteria in my body.

I noticed slight short term improvements from the oxygen therapies I tried, primarily increased energy, but no changes to joint pain and brain fog. In August 2025, I purchased a red light sauna and I use this daily. Combined with a clean diet (no alcohol, no sugar) and regular light exercise, as well as meditation, I feel like I am able to stabilize my symptoms better.

The antibiotic treatments. I have received medical advice from two doctors and two naturopaths, none of whom have approached my symptoms with a holistic approach.

Chronic inflammation is not normal and it is incredibly difficult to diagnose the cause. My focus has now shifted to doing my own research and focusing on gut health/microbiome, and getting my body back in balance.
