In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Sandra Ortiz described the injuries she experienced after getting Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, her medical journey and what her life is like today.
It took only a couple of minutes for her to feel the waves of heat, followed by a feeling of faintness. “I immediately felt like my life was in danger, something was really wrong with me,” said Sandra Ortiz.
That’s how Ortiz described her reaction to receiving her first and only dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on May 26, 2021.
Ortiz, now 54 years old, is a mail carrier in Arlington, Texas. In an exclusive interview with The Defender, she described her initial injuries and ongoing symptoms. She provided extensive documentation to corroborate her claims.
Ortiz described what happened when she got the vaccine — and how the pharmacist who administered it reacted:
“I felt waves of heat in my body and felt as if I was going to faint. I did not faint. But I immediately felt that my life was in danger, something was really wrong with me.”
She asked the pharmacist what would happen if she were allergic to the vaccine, and did he have an EpiPen, Ortiz said. The pharmacist said he did. “But when I was lying on the floor, all he did was call the ambulance,” she said.
Ortiz may have sustained an immediate adverse event following her vaccination, but her symptoms were far from fleeting. She told The Defender she experienced:
“Blood pressure spikes, elevated heartbeats, dizziness, nausea, heat on chest and pain, hot feet and cold hands, weird head pressure, shortness of breath, neck pain, back pain, extreme fatigue, a numb left hand, mild numbness on left side of face with random twitching, confusions, heart palpitations, eye blurriness, jaw tightness and gum pain.”
Her symptoms led to several visits to the emergency room and significant lost time at work, which put her career at risk.
“I missed work for over three months and ended up at the emergency room five times,” said Ortiz. “When I returned to work, I [was] approved for a very easy route at the post office. It is mostly curbside. And thank God, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to do the route.”
However, even with a less challenging route, Ortiz still faced significant difficulties, she said:
“There were many times, while driving to work, that I felt sick and ended up at the hospital or going back home. It caused me to leave work many times.
“There was one time that I pushed myself to work with the weird head pressure and confusion and eye blurriness, and I ended up rear-ending a vehicle on my route.”
Similar to the experience of several other vaccine injury victims who recently spoke to The Defender, Ortiz described multiple doctors’ visits, during which doctors usually dismissed her concerns that the COVID-19 vaccination caused her health problems.
“I’ve been to many doctors but all the tests are okay,” said Ortiz. “Many doctors would insist that the vaccine does not cause what I was suffering [from].”
Ortiz described taking a battery of exams, including “[an] EKG, CT scan, x-rays, a brain MRI, lumbar MRI, a stress test, tons of lab tests, aldosterone/renin activity, a transthoracic echocardiogram, urinary fractionated metanephrines, duplex abdomen complete, and an EEG.”
Even after all of these tests, said Ortiz, “All the doctors told me that the Pfizer vaccine” did not cause her injuries. Instead, they blamed “anxiety” for her symptoms.
“When I look at a lot of my medical records, I was surprised how in so many pages they didn’t even mention the vaccine, just that I am there, in the ER, for high blood pressure.”
She described one particularly disheartening experience with one of her doctors:
“My family doctor pretty much was annoyed with me. She refused to run any tests for me.
“I had to beg her to check my vitamin D levels because of the extreme fatigue. She acted as if I was not insured and was begging for free services.”
According to Ortiz, only one doctor took her vaccine-related concerns into consideration. Her functional doctor “added more vitamins to my daily routine, and advised me to purchase a sauna for sweating to detox, [in addition] vitamin infusion, massages, etc.,” she said.
Medical bills are piling up
Many of the adverse events Ortiz experienced have subsided. However, as she told The Defender, she still does not feel like her health is what it was prior to getting the vaccine:
“Today, a lot of the side effects have left me, but I still don’t feel like my body is like before, and I do feel like my body is injured and still fighting something. My blood pressure finally stopped spiking, and when my blood pressure stopped spiking, my heart started to calm down. I am better, but not 100%.
“I still have the head pressure that comes with confusion and eye blurriness. I still have fatigue, shortness of breath, and extreme anxiety. I also feel that I am suffering from PTSD.”
Ortiz is thankful that she has overcome many of the more serious symptoms, but she said she nevertheless feels “damaged.”
“Sometimes I feel that I am damaged for life, but as long as I can work, I am okay,” she said. “My biggest fear was that I was going to stay disabled and didn’t know how I was going to pay my bills.”
At one point, she felt her job was in jeopardy. “At work, I was written up and threatened to be fired,” she said, adding that her situation has since improved due to benefits she received as a result of the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Ortiz said she reported her injuries to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), but she has not heard back from them. In the meantime, medical costs have piled up.
“When I do not recognize a telephone number, I don’t pick up because I have a lot of medical collectors behind me,” Ortiz said. “The insurance does not pay everything and I fell behind on many bills.”
Connecting with other vaccine injury victims
Ortiz told The Defender her ordeal also took a toll on her personal life. “My fiancé left me two weeks after the vaccine. He couldn’t deal with it.”
However, her family has been “very supportive,” she said.
Nevertheless, Ortiz told The Defender she experienced feelings of “desperation” until she found support groups that helped.
She said:
“In my desperation, while googling I saw that Sen. Ron Johnson [R-Wis.] was having a town hall meeting with vaccine-injured people. I was surprised that this meeting was not aired in the news.
“I finally found a recording online and that’s where I found the first group of people that were injured by the vaccines, C19VaxReactions.com. I was so grateful to know that I was not the only one.”
Ortiz said she found out about the town hall meeting too late to attend it, but “wished [she] could be there.” When attempting to locate more information about it, however, she found nothing in the mainstream media.
“I looked on television, the news, waiting for it to be covered,” she said. “Nothing, just the same, urging people to go get the vaccine. Most deaths are [among] the unvaccinated, they said.”
Ortiz expressed a similar sentiment about an event she was able to attend, a rally for vaccine-injured individuals that took place in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 2, 2021.
“I went to the Washington, D.C. rally, thinking that the news was going to cover it,” she said. “I cannot believe how dirty the news outlets are. I thought they report to society what’s going on around us. But now I know they only report what they want us to know.”

You must be a retard for not doing a little homework.
A retard forced to take the shot to keep her job and be able to eat.
Where GOD Guides, He provides.
Unfortunately, the same can be said of Satan.
That’s how you know it’s working.
IIRC postal workers were exempt from Jab requirements.
IIRC, D’oh! She must have chosen to get it, without duress.
Meh. Live with your clearly willfully ignorant choice.
I’ll bet she’s childless. Females of a certain age who never had kids tend to be very neurotic.
She fucked up on the IQ test . Trying to keep that gravy train PO job, too bad so sad. Sucks to be you, another victim of gub!
Peace, L.
Wasn’t required for postal service.
It is clear she was scared, or at least hesitant, to take it. Why did she? Cray cray.
Perhaps she got moved to take the jab by our MSM and POTUS saying it is a good thing?
The Marketing blitz has been HUGE!
” Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that vaccinated and boosted people made up most of the COVID-19 deaths in August.”
Don’t be too hard on the people who got the jabs in the beginning. The propaganda campaign was huge. Constant TV to get the jabs – they are safe and effective. Even as recently as last month they were running ads in NJ urging people to get the jabs – safe and effective. Get your kids the jab. If you are pregnant you need the jab.
If you did not frequent alt news outlets back then you had no idea the jabs did not work and were dangerous. Companies were forcing people to get jabbed. I am still waiting to see how the lawsuits are going to work out with that. Have not heard much about that. A lot of doctors are being very very careful about what they are saying. They are afraid to lose their licenses. I don’t blame them. You lose your license you are done. It should not be like that. There needs to be lawsuits over that. Get that stuff stopped. We are not supposed to have a medical tyranny here.
You would think there would be lawyers on TV with ads saying if you have been injured by the covid-19 vaccines call 800-xxx-xxxx and we will set up a free review of your case. I have not seen a single one. What ? No greedy lawyers out there ? What about companies forcing people to get jabbed then they are injured or die ? Where are those lawsuits ?
Where are the lawyers ?
Best question I’ve seen in a long time.
Could be a case where Pfizer subtly lets it be known that any lawyer taking up a case against them is making a career decision they will regret forever.
What gets me is, if you crawl around the funeral homes obits up here in Ontario, all the nurses and others that were subjected to the “Jab or else” coercion, refuse the obvious and continue to stay silent while subjecting others to a lifetime of “highly effective” (side)effects. Who believes what these “silenced by Moderna 20x share price by doctors” (who announce they own these shares and others so because they announced it that means there is no conflict of interest??) are saying when they are still robbing everyone even themselves of their health for profit. The ones who got duped voluntarily into the shot are the only ones that will speak out against it, and truly find help, that should’ve been there before the shots.
Doctors, Nurses and others have lost:
-Their soul for money.
-The publics respect.
-Their call of duty (Now Derelict in Duty)
-Any sense of Humanity.
Some of these Doctors and Nurses have already died. Others will remain silent as they die. They will also remain silent as their loved ones die too.
FOR SHAME
The have no shame, one has to have a sense of morality to have shame.
In NYC they are STILL running ads every hour telling people it’s safe and effective and encouraging you to gift yourself a jab for Christmas.
Plenty of ads on Chicago tv advertising the booster. Interesting those commercials don’t include the list of side effects, probably due to how long the commercial would need to be. It would be like a half hour infomercial.
Atlanta too. I’m starting to think this is an Old White Guy program targeting niggers and other assorted morons.
3 ,2, 1 …
Lawyers. Interesting topic. They may be evil, but most are not stupid.
“You’ll know who rules over you by seeing who you are NOT allowed to criticize.” – ?
Don’t know many lawyers, do you?
Quite a few, actually and they run the entire spectrum. On balance, I’d be generous to say 50/50.
She pointed out the fundamental problem that is that most people get their “news” from MSM and it’s controlled so they are not hearing about the reality of this horror show. All they hear from MSM is “It’s perfectly safe” and any deaths or injuries are just “conspiracy theories”. It’s only after the fact that they bother to research and find the truth. People in this country are way too trusting of “authority” especially medical authorities.
“I immediately felt like my life was in danger,”
Become a policeperson. Go back to whomever gave You the shot.
Repeat Your quote. Give them a shot.
You’ll be fine.
I wonder if she’s going to get the booster shots. As of right now she’s not fully protected.
The bastards that made and force those vaxxes need to be hanged, there is no other way to see justice.
There are two Canadians, father and son that have a Christian ministry and are on Daystar five nights a week, the program is called Talk Truth. They are showing the lies everyday. Until people wake up and they are not yet awake, the killing will continue.
I didn’t take the shot because the whole lockdown scam was obvious hooey from the very beginning. It’s curious to me that a great number of people do things because some authority told them to. Is choosing to blindly follow orders/suggestions an acceptable reason to pity?
It’s in the human condition for many. The Stanley Milgram obedience-to-authority experiments showed this decades ago.
But are they humans? Or NPCs? That’s the question.
