In 15 minutes Benas, a grandson of Šiauliai, appeared and claimed that the COVID-19 vaccine had caused his grandfather more ailments than they could have imagined.
Healthy and athletic despite his 89 years
According to the grandson, it was after the first injection of the vaccine that the grandfather was hospitalized and underwent two heart surgeries. And until then, he was a strong, healthy, athletic man.
“With great sigh and sadness, I want to say publicly that these vaccines are Russian roulette. I am writing this letter because I love my grandfather, who has been taking care of me since day one, so I don’t really promise to be silent when this happens, “Ben wrote excitedly.
He said that his grandfather, an 89-year-old strongman from Šiauliai, had been involved in sports his entire life. Also playing sports so far. Every morning, regardless of the time of year or the weather: be it rain or blizzard, get up at 7am, exercise outside regularly, run.
“The exercise is not only for you so that the bones do not break, but you put your whole heart into it, each exercise has its own series. With an iron will, health, an unrealistically positive outlook on life, he is able to enjoy every moment with a smile on his face, being blind (having lost his sight during World War II). Grandfather’s health as a Swiss watch: flawless, everything runs smoothly, without complaints, pains or comorbidities (as a common person of respectable age has).
Most of us, out of fear of the insidious coronavirus, turn to vaccination. My grandfather did not hesitate when he was given the opportunity to obtain Pfizer-BioNTech. He is a healthy and strong person who wants to live and enjoy his retired freedom, ”said his grandson.
Grandpa’s health like a Swiss watch: flawless, everything runs smoothly, without pain, complaints or comorbidities.
Two days after vaccination, to the hospital.
According to the grandson, the grandfather was vaccinated at the agreed time, on February 24, at the Šiauliai Central Polyclinic.
Immediately after vaccination, the man felt really good, but the next day, according to Ben, his pulse dropped to 35 times per minute.
“Health is on strike, weak, weak. Well, maybe this is one of the side effects. Heart disorders are not included in the list of side effects. We are waiting for tomorrow, maybe everything will be fine? February the situation does not change, it only gets worse: the heart rate is incredibly low, anxiety and bad thoughts overwhelm the brain, the grandfather is urgently taken to the doctor.
As I go up the stairs of the polyclinic, my grandfather’s eyes darken, he has a cold sweat, which is a sign that he needs urgent help, because at that age everything passes, but, as I said, what iron. the wolf is hard to beat. When the ambulance is called, the grandfather is transported to the Šiauliai Republican Hospital. His new temporary home is the Department of Cardiology, ”says Ben excitedly, stating that his grandfather had never had a heart problem.

It turned out that he would have to perform heart surgery urgently, to get a pacemaker. A man of respectable age had to endure up to two surgeries.
“Who to blame? Shit and a painful vaccine and its uncontrolled side effects. He wanted to stay healthy from the virus and life was painted in the darkest colors. A vaccine is a lottery, it protects someone from the virus, puts someone in the leg, makes life difficult for them. Be careful and think carefully, do you really want that? Ben didn’t hide his anger.

Representatives from the Šiauliai Republican Hospital, where the person was treated, say the situation is not exceptional, possibly related to vaccination, but still urge this patient to get vaccinated with the second dose of COVID-19.
According to the director of the Cardiovascular Center of the Republican Hospital Šiauliai, cardiologist dr. Nora Kupstytė-Krištaponė, an 89-year-old man, was taken by ambulance to the Republican emergency department at Šiauliai hospital.
It should not be forgotten that the COVID-19 disease is complicated and has a poor prognosis in the elderly, so we advise the patient to be vaccinated with a second dose of the vaccine.
“He was diagnosed with an unusual heart rate and the EKG showed atrioventricular block (grade 2) and intraperitoneal block (legs of the right leg). The patient had not taken heart rate-reducing drugs, so a pacemaker was implanted urgently.
Elderly patients often need a pacemaker due to degenerative (perpetual) changes in the heart muscle and conduction system. We later learned that this patient had symptoms (bradycardia, low heart rate) two days after the vaccine. The patient stated that he had not felt or noticed such symptoms before, ”said the center director.
According to the doctor, after reviewing the medical data of the vaccine (evaluating the vaccination experience of elderly patients in other countries), the symptoms of the cardiovascular system are rare, amounting to 10-15%. of all adverse reactions reported after vaccination.

“It is true that they are more common in the elderly. Both tachycardia and bradycardia (a rare heart rate) have been reported in the literature. It cannot be denied that the coincidence is possible, as even a relatively healthy and physically active older person may have impaired electrical activity of the heart or conduction disturbances that may go unnoticed until the heart rate slows significantly, i.e. heart rate becomes less than 40 times. per minute.
Most patients hospitalized for pacemaker implantation are elderly. The situation is not exceptional: every month in the cardiology hospital we urgently treat 4-6 elderly patients who arrive after experiencing rare cardiac activity and related symptoms (weakness, dizziness or even fainting), “said Dr. N. Kupstytė-Krištaponė.

According to the doctor, the patient is 89 years old, so any medical intervention can be risky, including vaccination:
“However, it should not be forgotten that the COVID-19 disease is complicated and has a poor prognosis in the elderly, so we advise this patient to be vaccinated with a second dose of the vaccine.
We are happy to have provided timely assistance to a cheerful, energetic and active person, we wish him health and remind him that after implanting a pacemaker, an annual inspection of the device is required. “
