Julian Schofield: Healthy Man Becomes Paralyzed 12 Days After The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLOMBIA – A healthy man became paralyzed just 12 days after he had received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. Julian Schofield got the shot in mid-July. On Sunday, July 25th, he started feeling tingling and numbness in his left foot. This quickly progressed up his left leg and then began in his right foot and travelled up his right leg. Within two hours, Julian could not walk or stand. He was rushed to Penticton Regional Hospital.

The neurologist in Penticton became concerned that Julian had developed a myelinic form of Post-vaccinal Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) just 12 days after the shot. The condition is characterized by a brief but widespread attack of inflammation in the brain and spinal cord that damages myelin, the protective covering of nerve fibers.

Julian, who became paralyzed from the waist down, worked in the hospital on regaining his muscle strength:

Julian got home on October 22nd after almost 12 weeks in hospital.
