A B.C. man who is one of the rare people suffering a debilitating reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine says he is now living in a bureaucratic nightmare trying to get compensation.
Jan Przeranski says that as a result of his vaccination, he suffers from severe lymphedema, a chronic, progressive condition that has caused swelling and infections in his arm.
He says he applied to the federal government’s vaccine injury compensation program, which was first administered by the private consulting firm Oxaro.
Following a raft of problems with Oxaro, the federal government took over the program in March.
Przeranksi says that despite that, he’s received virtually no financial compensation for his injuries, which have left him in financial ruin.
“The basic things I used to be able to do, groceries, prepare a meal, shaving, dressing yourself, I don’t wear shoelaces anymore, buttoning shorts and things like this, basic daily tasks is out of the question,” he told Global News.

He also said that doctors have told him that eventually the lymphedema will lead to amputation.
“Yeah, if the infections keep coming often, yeah, it will lead to it,” Przeranksi added.
He wants the Public Health Agency of Canada to give him a clear timeline of when he will receive the full maximum $284,000 he qualifies for, as well as thousands of dollars in backlogged expenses.
Global News contacted the health agency, but received no reply by deadline.
This story points to what gets lost once a rare injury is acknowledged: the patient still needs a clear path through documentation, expenses, timelines, and daily-life impact. People should not have to become case managers for their own suffering for years. The suffering due to infection is enough. What has helped me is natural spike protein detox to fight off long covid and vaccination effects.
Following the Liberal Government and believing anything they say is foolishness unleashed. Getting a Government recommended shot of a new vaccine is beyond absurd.
Thank the Liberals/ NDP for another screw over to a Canadian… now if this was an immigrant he’d get the royal treatment. This is absolutely shameful.. If we ever have a covid rumbling again smart people will rebel.
Perhaps Anne Drewa from Global Consumer Matters may be able to help
GOOD F/ G LUCK, THEY HAVE SOME MORE LIFE SAVING SHOTS READY FOR YOU !!!
We know injuries and deaths are common – and tragic. This is the greatest scandal in our modern history. When will corporate media be honest? There need be accountability.
Naturally the Moe Rons will assume that a 1 in 100,000 chance of a bad reaction is the same as a virtual certainty.
There are many victims of the vaccine in the Vancouver area. Most Dr’s are afraid to say any of it was caused by the vaccine. It is clear that many had negative reactions and there needs to be a class action lawsuit!
Doesn’t help that the people elected a gov’t that has spent 1,000 years worth of taxes in under 10.
Just because I have to ask, he says this was all caused by the vaccine but does he have a doctor that says it was probably true or did his medical issues show up at the same approximate time and he’s assuming one caused the other?
Yeah what ever. Tell that arm wasn’t his dope arm!!
Nobody will get compensated, the government will just delay in hopes they will just die waiting for a decision. That was the whole point of the genocide shot.
All the liberals will accuse him of being a vaccine denier. 🤡🙄🤡
Just another reason why the next time an actual pandemic rolls around nobody will bother getting “vaccinations” or follow any other controlling issues that governments try to enforce. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me
