Lisa Williams, a flight attendant for a major airline, didn’t want to take the vaccine against COVID-19. But, against her conscience, she rolled up her sleeve in tears on Sept. 2 in order to keep her job and feed her three boys. …The day that she received the vaccine, Williams began having severe headaches and muscle spasms that would wake her from sleep. She said she went to bed and stayed there for four days in an “almost coma-like state.” …“I felt as if an elephant was sitting on my chest,” she said, pausing between sentences to breathe properly. “My lungs to this day will not fill all the way up. “My eyes were swollen almost shut, and I had nausea, fatigue, and a lot of coughing.” …Before taking the vaccine, Williams, 51, said she only took hormone supplements for post-menopausal symptoms. “Other than vitamins and the stuff to regulate my hormones, I didn’t take any medications,” she said. “I went to the gym and worked out—I was healthy.”
