Brittany Burnette, a 34-year-old mom of two, says her health collapsed after taking the COVID vaccine. “I’ve never felt so helpless,” she told DailyMail.com. Once a nursing home director, she received Pfizer’s shot in early 2021 to protect patients. Months later, she felt unbearable hip pain and soon needed two hip replacements.
Her nightmare didn’t end there. Over the next four years, Brittany had surgeries on both knees, both shoulders, her elbow three times, and even her foot. Doctors diagnosed her with multifocal avascular necrosis — a rare condition where bones die from lack of blood. Some specialists believe a mix of her COVID infection and vaccine triggered the damage.
The pain forced Brittany to leave her job and rely on a wheelchair. “I can’t even drive my kids to school anymore… it’s devastating,” she said. Still, she calls her husband and sons her biggest reason to keep fighting.
Her story highlights questions about post-vaccine complications and the need for more research. What do you think — should newer vaccines face tougher testing before approval?
