[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A petition has been posted stating that a healthy husband is fighting for his life in the intensive care unit after receiving the AstraZeneca (AZ) COVID-19 vaccine.

On the 24th, a petition titled "Please save my husband" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board.

According to the petition, the petitioner’s husband, Mr. A, received his third AZ vaccination on October 14 last year, and starting from the 17th, the third day after vaccination, he began to have a fever and is currently in the hospital’s intensive care unit.

The petitioner received a call around 10:42 p.m. on the 13th stating that Mr. A’s pancreatic and kidney functions had declined and his respiratory rate had increased, requiring dialysis to begin in the ICU.

Since then, Mr. A has been undergoing dialysis continuously for 24 hours. Due to chemotherapy conducted on February 11, his immunity dropped, leading to sepsis, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, and jaundice, eventually resulting in an unconscious state.

The petitioner said, "My husband’s side effects are so severe that most of the organs in his body are damaged. The Epstein-Barr virus level is usually zero in normal people, but my husband’s has increased to 143,000, and there is no guarantee he will recover from the ICU," adding, "The attending professor said this case is so rare that there are no papers or textbook treatments."

She continued, "Even though the hospital bills are subject to a 5% special calculation exception for cancer, there are many non-insured costs or perhaps because he is in the ICU, the expenses amount to hundreds of thousands of won per week."

She added, "All the medical staff, including the professor, are sincerely taking care of him, but the current situation is desperate," and "Even now, he is writhing in pain in the ICU, and thinking about my husband who is tied up tightly all over his body, unconscious and undergoing dialysis, brings me to tears."

Finally, she pleaded, "Those who have not experienced this pain would not understand it. Please, find a way to save my husband."
