A 23-year-old woman from Florida, Alexis Lorenze, has reported severe health complications following a series of vaccinations she was required to receive before undergoing a blood transfusion for a rare autoimmune condition known as Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH). Diagnosed in January 2024, PNH affects approximately one in a million people, causing the immune system to attack red blood cells.
Earlier this month, Lorenze traveled to California for a transfusion, but she claims doctors at UCI Medical insisted she receive vaccinations for tetanus, pneumonia, and meningitis all at once. Shortly after the vaccines were administered, she experienced alarming symptoms: her vision went dark, her jaw locked, and she began vomiting.
Additionally, Lorenze reported severe swelling and bruising, prompting her to seek further medical attention.
Medical professionals have cautioned against administering multiple vaccines to patients with autoimmune disorders like PNH. The concern is that such combinations can trigger cytokine storms—overreactions of the immune system that may lead to severe complications, including organ damage. However, doctors indicated that the vaccines themselves were unlikely to have caused her symptoms directly.
