Florida: In a recent social media post, Florida resident Alexis Lorenze claims that vaccines for meningitis, pneumonia, and tetanus caused a reaction. While receiving treatment at UCI Medical Center in Orange, California, she and her father share updates about her medical condition online.

Alexis alleges that the vaccines triggered her symptoms and blames the hospital for it.

She was admitted to UCI Medical Center on City Drive South in Orange, California, which is Orange County's only academic health system. The centre features the area's sole Level I adult and Level II pediatric trauma centres, along with a comprehensive cancer centre and a regional burn unit.

She has gone viral on platforms like TikTok and Facebook, showing dark red marks covering her body. Alongside her father, Todd Lorenze, she documents her ongoing health struggles. Alexis regularly updates her followers with videos and posts, while her father shares information on Facebook. Together, they aim to raise awareness about her condition and the challenges she faces.

According to reports from Times Now, Alexis Lorenze claims she has a blood disorder and went to UCI Medical Center for a blood transfusion. While she stated that the transfusion was somewhat helpful, she was not fully recovered. Following this, she alleges that doctors informed her that for the transfusion to be effective, she needed to be up to date on her vaccinations. She subsequently received vaccines for meningitis, pneumonia, and tetanus, after which she began experiencing adverse reactions. Alexis has claimed that the hospital is responsible for the sudden deterioration of her condition.

In one of her videos, she mentioned that she had contacted a lawyer and is documenting her experience. The father-daughter duo has also asserted that since she began sharing updates, the hospital has moved her to a small room without a bed for her sister, who is caring for her. On Tuesday, September 17, Todd Lorenze posted on Facebook that Alexis would be transferred to a different hospital the following day.

As Alexis Lorenze continues to share her journey, her case serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities surrounding vaccine reactions.
