Oregon DHS Employee Now Disabled After Receiving COVID-19 “vaccine”

Heather Elkins, 45, is a former employee of the Oregon Department of Human Services. Despite the fact that she had transitioned to a full time work at home position, the Oregon DHS required her to take the experimental COVID-19 “vaccine” or face losing her job. She finally took the Pfizer “vaccine” and its subsequent booster and is now suffering irreversible damage that has caused her to become completely disabled and unable to work at any job.
“I am by no means against vaccines. With that being said, I was not comfortable with the COVID-19 vaccine for a number of reasons. First, I didn’t feel like there was enough known about it and the long-term effects it might have,” she said in an interview with The Defender.1 “Second, I saw reports stating people were developing heart issues, and given that I myself have a heart issue, I wasn’t feeling comfortable with getting the vaccine.”
She added: “It’s my body and the decision should be my choice! I know how my body reacts to trauma, illness, etc. I should be able to choose what goes in it.”
The COVID-19 marketing campaign appears to have caused a psychotic break from reality with the government and health care providers who are charged with protecting people from toxic, dangerous and experimental drugs. Elkins is just one of hundreds of thousands of people around the world who have become permanently disabled by the toxic gene therapy drugs pushed on them by coercive government mandates.
Concerned about how her heart issues might be exacerbated by the gene therapy drugs, she contacted her cardiologist and was subsequently transferred to the cardiologist’s nurse, who stated: ‘we are not advising on whether or not you should receive the COVID-19 vaccine.’ Elkins said given the vaccines were causing heart issues, she thought her cardiologist, of all people, would be willing to weigh in. “That wasn’t the case here, she said. “They turned a blind eye.”
Elkins got the Pfizer vaccine on Sept. 12, 2021, and within about an hour began experiencing adverse reactions. The reactions she experienced after the first shot didn’t qualify her for a medical exemption from the second shot. So, despite continued efforts to secure a medical exemption, Elkins received her second Pfizer shot on Oct. 3, 2021, and experienced “the same severe reaction as with the first dose.”
A year later, Elkins continues to experience symptoms that affect her ability to work.
Elkins told The Defender, “To date, I’m experiencing all the same issues in addition to other symptoms like brain fog, horrible joint pain, pins and needles sensations, painful nerve zaps, shakiness and tremors in my hands and feet, and vision issues. At times, some of the symptoms are worse than others, but the symptoms as a whole have been so debilitating daily, I eventually couldn’t continue working and have had to go on workman’s compensation for now.”
She has been mostly confined to bed for the last 11 months, unable to do minimal activities because of her debilitating symptoms. Paradoxically, the act that was supposed to help her keep her job and the ability to have an income has caused her to lose both her job and ability to earn an income.
According to The Defender, “After visiting a succession of doctors — including her primary physician, a COVID-19 recovery specialist, a physical therapist, a speech therapist, a cardiologist, a pulmonologist, a rheumatologist, a neurologist and an ophthalmologist — Elkins was diagnosed with dysautonomia, a condition characterized by a malfunctioning autonomic nervous system.”
“Most of the doctors I’ve seen think I’m having some kind of immune response to the vaccine but don’t know why or how to stop it because so little is known,” said Elkins. “I have no personal life because every time I try to leave home and do anything social, my symptoms are exacerbated. I spend most of my days in bed. And on good days, I make it out to the living room to rest in a recliner.”
In the midst of a recruiting campaign for new employees, the Oregon DHS final removed the “vaccine” mandate. But it was too late for Elkins, the damage had already been done.
Elkins has found a great level of support through online support groups for vaccine-injured groups, such as Vaccine Injury/Side Effects Support Group, Real Not Rare and ReAct19. “They’ve all been a wealth of information,” she said.
Elkins told The Defender she hopes these groups — and the vaccine-injured individuals who are speaking out — will translate to pressure on governmental authorities. “Our government needs to take accountability for the lack of transparency with the COVID-19 vaccines. Their lack of transparency and shadiness surrounding adverse reactions is hurting so many, but they just continue sweeping it under the rug like it isn’t real or happening.”
Pfizer, who has made billions in profits from their experimental drug, have been granted legal immunity for any damages they have caused.
