SAN REMO, IMPERIA – An 18-year-old teen was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome 15 days after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Riccardo Ventre got the shot on September 28th. He began to have multiple symptoms shortly afterward. He was hospitalized at a hospital in Imperia where he was diagnosed with GBS. His mother is now seeking answers for her son’s health problems.
“My son had his first vaccination on September 28th for work reasons,” – says Katia, the young man’s mother – “until he was 17, I managed to keep him off the vaccine because I am afraid of it, but then he turned 18 and was forced by his job to do take it,” she explains. “He had very strong pain in his legs just a few days later, for this reason, we took him immediately to the emergency room in Imperia. He has never had any of these symptoms before, it all happened suddenly.
On the first day in the hospital, his arms and legs were able to move, on the second day, they could hardly move and on the third day, they couldn’t move at all. He has then been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Currently, he is stuck on his hospital bed and when we try to pull him up he cannot stand, he has to be supported to stand up.
It is not certain if Riccardo will ever recover: “They told me anything can happen, it’s a lottery” – says the mother. “They told me that in these cases he could end up very badly as well, that is, he either recovers completely or not at all, so the doctors don’t refrain themselves from giving us a prognosis until they see his reactions to the treatments.”
Katia, desperate for answers, has also turned to doctors outside Imperia hospital.
