A few weeks after my dad had a covid vaccine he had several seizures, which have continued to happen.

On top of that, nearly 3 weeks into hospital and he caught covid. At least the vaccine worked and that's mostly sorted.

MRI says he has suffered catastrophic brain damage and is about to be released for palative care for the last

Now importantly

- I don't know which vaccine he had (and I'm certainly not going to bother my mother over that at the moment)

- He's suffered from seizures for the last few years, although those normally follow infections and high temperatures

But it's disquieting

That's awful. I'm sorry for you and your family.

"He's suffered from seizures for the last few years, although those normally follow infections and high temperatures"

A vaccine will certainly cause the body to fight the perceived infection, including with high temperatures for some people. It's possible given his history those vaccine side effects should have been considered?

I'm sorry to hear about your father's suffering. However I feel it's important for you to sound an alarm to the relevant doctors and/or public health units if you feel there's a link between his seizures and the vaccine.

Whether or not it was the AZ vaccine or not..

They know he had the vaccine and they know his medical history far more than I do - I'm not a medical expert, they are.

But are they thinking about it right now? Maybe asking them about it would trigger a response.
