A young woman faces the possibility of losing both her legs due to complications of COVID Myocarditis, Rhabdomyolysis, mild pneumonia, Cyanosis, and Acidosis.
QUICK FACTS:
- Claire Bridges was admitted to the hospital in mid-January in Tampa, Florida following a COVID-19 diagnosis and complications, according to Fox 13 News.
- Bridges presented with severe leg pain with COVID, and according to her family on their GoFundMe page, “Yes, she was vaccinated!”
- Bridges was then diagnosed with Covid Myocarditis and several other issues, which led to her heart stopping.
- The 20-year-old model coded two more times and was revived and by the next day she was put on Dialysis due to kidney failure and her family was told that she was going to lose both legs.
WHAT HER FAMILY AND FAMILY HAD TO SAY:
- “Claire has been fighting for her life since Sunday, Jan 16th. She was born with a serious heart condition and after contracting COVID, she was quickly in the ICU on life support. She is only 20 years old. Due to complications and life-threatening infection, she will lose both of her legs to amputation,” Bridges mother said.
- “She wasn’t getting circulation to her legs and, because of that, there was a lot of muscle damage,” said her best friend and roommate, Heather Valdes according to Fox 13.
- “Claire is just a positive ray of light and she’s a wonderful woman,” Valdes said. “When she woke up and they told her about it, she was very calm and very peaceful and said, ‘I want bionic legs,’” she noted.
BACKGROUND:
- The CDC reported in November of 2021 that it was “actively monitoring reports of myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination,” appearing to confirm the concerns of many that the COVID-19 vaccine has caused serious health concerns.
- The National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health released a report over a case study of supposed myocarditis due to a COVID-19 vaccination saying that “The outcomes of this case scenario confirm myocarditis as a probable complication of COVID-19 vaccines.”
