This happened to a woman in the town near where I live in rural Ireland.
She told me her story.
"I was working in the garden, cutting away branches from a bush when suddenly my shears slipped and made a deep cut
in my left hand. After rinsing the wound with water, I realised it was quite the gash so I decided to go to the local doctor's office, just in case. Right away he suggested the tetanus vaccination since I didn't remember when I last had one and the branch could have the bacteria on them, or the shears as they weren't the newest. Of course I agreed, as I always thought they knew best and wouldn't give me anything if it wasn't absolutely necessary.'
She must have read my mind when she looked at my face, because she started laughing and continued:
"I know exactly what you're thinking and you are right. I wish I would have never gotten this stupid shot."

Symptoms similar to tetanus came up the same day, but not taken seriously

Rachel (not her real name) told me that that evening, a couple of hours after she came home from the doctor's office, she didn't feel so well all of a sudden. She felt like a fever was coming up and her head and neck started hurting. The pain ran down to her shoulder.
She decided to go to bed as she thought the vaccine might have caused some response and it might help her to get back to herself.
What she recalls next was that she woke up with her husband standing above her while she was in bed. A little bit confused after seeing his troubled face, she asked him what was going on.
He told her that she had gotten up to go to the toilet, told him she wasn't feeling well at all and wanted to take her temperature. She got up from the bed and collapsed. He told her that she's been completely out for about five minutes.
This confused Rachel even more because she didn't recall any of it. She then went on to take her temperature, which was quite high but not high enough to really worry too much.
She didn't feel the need to take any painkillers as she was quite tired and went back to sleep.

The next morning she woke up to a shock. She couldn't move her head and when she tried it hurt immensely. Rachel told me that she cried out in pain and her husband came running to see what happened. She told him that she felt like her whole neck was cramped up and pain was going down to the shoulder, her arm felt like it was made of rubber and she had no strength or control over it. Her head was throbbing with pain.
Husband quite worried, helped her to get dressed and drove her to the doctor's office.
After telling the doctor (this time it was the other doctor's wife, who's also a doctor) her story from the night before and the morning, she also added she thought it could have something to do with the vaccine - the doctor started to laugh and said:
"There is no way this was the vaccine, you can't get those symptoms from the vaccine because they're not made with live bacteria." The health professional who'd just laughed at her, then continued to say she probably contracted some kind of flu.

After hearing all this I let Rachel read the following:
From ' Assault on the Species' by Patrick Rattigan:
Persons wishing to contract tetanus, or to endow their offspring with it, should first collect samples from the soil, dustbins, sewers etc. This should then be sent for analysis to determine the presence of tetanus spores. When the confirmed spores are returned, a deep gash should be made in the arm into which the spores should be placed, the skin pinched to trap the spores and the arm bandaged to exclude the air. Persons not immune to tetanus should then contract the disease.
As the above practice is widespread, it is understandable why every child and every hospital case involving broken skin needs to be jabbed routinely with a vaccine whose side effects include seizures, high fever, Guillane-Barre Syndrome, fatal anaphylactic shock, neurological damage, abscess, inner ear damage, myelin damage etc.

She looked at me after reading this and said: Yes, this makes so much sense. Never in my life have I heard of anyone who's ever had tetanus. The symptoms that I had were nothing like any flu I've ever had or seen in others.
You don't just pass out from the flu and don't recall anything that happened before that. Also the cramps she'd experienced and the throbbing head was something she'd never felt before in her life. She told me that for a moment she thought she was going to die. Besides this, it was the beginning of the summer, so not exactly flu season and no one in the area even mentioned flu to her or anyone who had it. So how on earth would Rachel get the flu, if no one else did? She would have at least passed it on to someone around her? But no one in her family (all five of them) came down with the flu.
She felt being ridiculed by the doctor and not taken seriously at all. it felt like she was hiding something.
Rachel concluded: "I will never in my life get a tetanus shot again, nor give it to my children."
Not long after, she changed to another doctor in the village.
Rachel was quite positive that it was the vaccine that caused this. After reading the side effects she found that unconsciousness and fever, as well as what she had experienced with her arm, neck and shoulder are all mentioned in the insert.

So why would this doctor not even take the time to investigate further?
It's not like every day she has patients that fall unconscious from the flu?
Why was she told it was a flu, when no one else had the flu?
Both Rachel and I were asking these questions and more.
When hearing a story like this, one has to think about the who's and the why's.

On another note: this is the same doctors office where they have a huge TV screen in the waiting room with nothing but commercials. Something they're most likely getting paid for. Another thing that struck me, in the few times I was in there, was that every 20 seconds or so, the commercial would be interrupted with bright red flashing letters that read:
Get your flu shot now!
It almost made me sick just reading that.
I used to use the same family doctor couple too, until a few things happened that made me change to another.
This other doctor, and every doctor before that were hippy like characters in '70's clothes or corduroy pants with corduroy blazers, driving an older car.
One look at this doctors couple and you'll notice quite something else.
Both husband and wife appear in the office dressed up to the tee.
They both wear expensive suits and the Mrs. tick tocks her way through the office on very high heels.
When they leave after a full days work, to drive the full mile to their home with indoor swimming pool, she gets into her brand new BMW SUV and he climbs aboard his 2017 Range Rover.
Not the average family doctors couple.
And even though there is nothing wrong with wearing nice clothes and drive a nice car when you can afford it, I can't but think of my old family doctor in Holland who used to come into the office in his jeans and drive a beaten down car older than mine.
I remember his words: "Hopefully next year I'll be able to buy a car that actually runs", he'd chuckle and say: "Once I've paid off my student loans."
The man was older than me and his office was never empty, they even had a waiting list. So how on earth can these people afford these things on just their income, at such a young age (mid 30's) unless they have other incomes besides what their patients bring to the table?
It sure makes me wonder....
