BERLIN, GERMANY – A opera singer has canceled all her appearances after a severe adverse reaction to the Pfizer COVID vaccine. Bettina Ranch got her shot several weeks ago. She had a headache and became dizzy a few days after. She was eventually hospitalized for mild facial paralysis and ataxia as a result of the vaccine.
“It is currently not possible for me to return to the stage due to a very severe adverse reaction to the vaccine. I’m incredibly sorry and I am incredibly sad about this situation,” the Berliner wrote on her Instagram and Facebook pages:
On the day Bettina was vaccinated, almost four weeks ago, she was doing “very well”. The next day, she felt “ok” and tried “to organize the day as normal”. She sang a little because the season would start with rehearsals, concerts, and performances a few days later.
Bettina got a headache and felt dizzy at the rehearsal. She also noticed changes in her voice; it sounded “weak, powerless as if blocked”. She also experienced more and more pain in her arms and legs, as well as in her joints. She had a feeling that something was wrong in her head (brain fog) due to very slow thinking, speaking, and problems with finding the right words.
Ms. Ranch was eventually diagnosed with ataxia and facial paralysis. Ranch: “because of the ataxia and facial nerve palsy, professional singing is currently impaired. I am assured by every medical doctor that my symptoms are temporary and I remain very confident that, that is the case. Patience was never my strength, but it will be now.”
