“My husband is suffering from the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. I feel like going through hell every day. I’m taking care of my two 26-month-old twins and my husband is sick” – Lee Tae Geun’s wife said. Lee Tae Geun reportedly received the 3rd dose of vaccine on December 16, 2021 and had symptoms of headache, vomiting and dizziness 3 hours later.
He went to the hospital for blood tests, X-rays and CT scans of his brain, the results showed that he had a sub meningeal hemorrhage. Normally, external trauma will cause subarachnoid hemorrhage, but Lee Tae Geun did not experience trauma, so doctors could not give specific treatment methods.
