“Tim Zook’s last post on Facebook was optimistic. “I’ve never been so excited about taking shots,â€� he wrote on January 5th on a photo of Band-Aid on his arm and on a COVID-19 vaccination card. “I was completely vaccinated after my second vaccination with Pfizer.â€�
Zook, 60, was an X-ray technician at the South Coast Global Medical Center in Santa Ana. A few hours later, he suffered from upset stomach and dyspnea. By 3:30 pm, it was terrible for a colleague at work to take him to the emergency room. “Do you need to worry â€� His wife, Rochelle, sent a text message when she received the news. “No, absolutely not,â€� he sent back a text message. “Do you think this is a direct result of the vaccine â€� She typed. “No, no,â€� he said. “I don’t know what, but don’t worry.â€� There was a suspicion of COVID and a diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Zook was oxygenated and helped the BiPAP machine push air into the lungs after only four hours. Multiple tests returned negative for COVID.” – Eastbaytimes |
