Jummai and her husband Philip came to America as church
planters as part of the Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention (MWBC) in the
Twin Cities.
Jummai, who works as a medical assistant in Minneapolis, received
the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on February 1.
A few days later on February 6, her husband, Philip, took
her to urgent care after she felt chest pains.
A day later, she tested positive for COVID-19, and her
condition quickly deteriorated, leading to hospitalisation and eventual
amputation.
Philip is now searching for answers to the true cause of his
wife’s condition, said the report.
‘Jummai and I were shocked when we received the result that
she was Covid-19 positive because she had not manifested any symptom before
taking the shot,’ Philip wrote in a letter attached to a GoFundMe for the
couple.
‘But we later accepted that perhaps, the virus and the
vaccine together contributed to the adverse reaction on her body based on the
report of the Infectious Disease physician that Jummai was asymptomatic.’
In the letter, Philip goes into detail about the conditions
his wife suffered, and the months of work with medical experts he undertook to
figure out what exactly happened.
He said that his wife suffered from an arterial blood clot,
respiratory disease, cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease), anemia, ischemia
and multiple inflammatory syndrome (MIS) – a condition where multiple organs in
the body become inflamed.
She was placed on a ventilator on February 14.
Jummai’s case was referred to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate.
After a virtual call that included 70 to 80 health experts
from around the country, the CDC determined that COVID-19 and MIS combined were
the cause of her complications, according to the GoFundMe page.
The agency could not determine whether the vaccine played a
role in her condition, however.
Philip is not satisfied with the CDC’s findings and still
has questions.
He wonders why he himself did not contract COVID from his
wife despite their close contact.
Philip says he also questions if the vaccine played a role
in her condition, and if not, what exactly did the vaccine do within her body.
‘My experience on this journey has been so difficult but I
can’t imagine the excruciating pain mentally, physically and emotionally that
my wife is going through,’ he wrote.
‘I can only equate her experience and challenge with job’s
experience and trial in the sense that the challenges have come in degrees, one
after another.’
The MWBC set up a GoFundMe for the couple, hoping to raise
$500,000 to help pay for their medical expenses, expenses for prosthetic limbs
and other adjustments the couple will have to make in their new life.
More than $100,000 has been raised for the couple as of
Monday morning.
