12-Year-Old Girl Paralyzed After Receiving Pfizer Vaccine Trial

Maddie de Garay, a 12-year-old girl from the United States, went from healthy to paralyzed in just 12 hours after receiving her second dose of the Pfizer vaccine trial. Her family reported that she had been experiencing abdominal pain prior to the paralysis, but Pfizer has denied any connection between the two events. The news of Maddie's sudden paralysis has caused alarm among those who have already received or are planning to receive the vaccine. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently investigating the case and has not yet made any conclusions about whether or not there is a link between Maddie's paralysis and her participation in the trial. Pfizer released a statement regarding Maddie's case, saying "The claim that the daughter was harmed by the vaccine has not been proven." However, many people are concerned that this could be an example of a rare side effect that may occur with certain vaccines. It is important for people to understand that all vaccines come with some risk of side effects, though most are mild and temporary. Maddie's family is now focused on helping her recover from her paralysis as quickly as possible. They have set up a GoFundMe page to help cover medical expenses related to her treatment and recovery process. So far they have raised over $100,000 towards their goal of $500,000. It remains unclear what exactly caused Maddie's paralysis at this time; however it serves as an important reminder for everyone considering getting vaccinated to research potential risks associated with each type of vaccine before making their decision.
