A Virginia man who got Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine developed a severe rash that spread over his entire body

Richard Terrell's skin turned red and swelled up after he got J&J's COVID-19 vaccine.
His doctors say they believe it was directly caused by the vaccine.
But they said the reaction was "extremely rare" and encouraged people to still get the vaccine.

A 74-year-old Virginia man developed a severe rash that spread across his entire body after getting the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine on March 6, WRIC's Talya Cunningham reported.

Richard Terrell of Goochland, Virginia, told the news station that he started experiencing the symptoms about four days after the getting the single-shot vaccine.

"I began to feel a little discomfort in my armpit and then a few days later I began to get an itchy rash, and then after that I began to swell and my skin turned red," Terrell told WRIC.

The rash proceeded to spread over his entire body, causing his legs and arms to swell and his skin to peel off, he said.

Insider has contacted Johnson & Johnson for comment.


"It was stinging, burning, and itching," Terrell told WRIC. "Whenever I bent my arms or legs, like the inside of my knee, it was very painful where the skin was swollen and was rubbing against itself."


According to WRIC, the rash first prompted Terrell to visit a dermatologist, who told Terrell to immediately go to the emergency room.

Terrell went on to spend five days at VCU Medical Center, where the rash was treated and doctors biopsied the rash to see what caused it, WRIC reported.

His doctors say the vaccine is still safe
One of Terrell's dermatology doctors at the hospital, Dr. Fnu Nutan, told WRIC that they determined the vaccine had caused an "extremely rare" reaction. Nutan said the doctors had ruled out the possibility of other viral infections, COVID-19 itself, and kidney and liver issues.

Nutan said she believed there's something about Terrell's genetic makeup that made him react this way to the vaccine, according to WRIC.

Nutan told WRIC that Terrell's experience shouldn't stop others from getting the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which the US Food and Drug Administration has said is safe and effective.

There haven't been similar reports of severe reactions to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which was authorized for use in the US at the end of February.

It has in fact been reported that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine may be the superior vaccine of those given the OK in the US so far, since it requires only one shot, is proved to work against some of the new variants, and appears to have milder side effects compared with the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.

This and my daughter told me about a doctor in the building where her dental practice is, has died just 4 days after getting his first vaccine shot.
His organs shut down and there was no way doctors could stop it.
He was a very healthy 34 year old man, that had just gotten married about 8 months before.
I will never get that shot...
I'd rather take my chances with my not ever getting COVID and if getting Covid- my surviving it.-Tyr

I was going to start a thread and saw this post from you!

A report just came out that 100 people in Washington all got infected with the virus even after getting the shot. I know that all of the reactions in total around the nation are at an extreme minimum in comparison to those without issue, but it's still concerning to me.

Over 100 fully vaccinated people contract COVID-19 in Washington state, officials say

Over 100 people in Washington state have tested positive for COVID-19 more than two weeks after becoming fully vaccinated against the disease, officials said.

The Washington State Department of Health is investigating reports of the so-called breakthrough cases, which it said are expected with any vaccine.

Out of the 1.2 million people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in Washington, epidemiologists have reported evidence of 102 breakthrough cases in 18 counties since Feb. 1, representing less than 0.01% of all fully vaccinated individuals in the northwestern U.S. state. Most cases were patients who experienced only mild symptoms, if any, according to a press release from the Washington State Department of Health.

However, at least eight people with breakthrough cases have been hospitalized. The Washington State Department of Health is also investigating two potential breakthrough cases where the individuals died. Both patients were over 80 years old and suffered from underlying health issues.

The Washington State Department of Health said further investigation will help identify patterns among the breakthrough cases, such as if a variant of the novel coronavirus may have caused the infection.

@jimnyc do you know which vaccine(s)? I didn’t see in the article.

@jimnyc do you know which vaccine(s)? I didn’t see in the article.

I just checked multiple sources and none say specifics. One did mention that they were after their second shot, Fwiw....

Here appears to be the source from the Washington DOH:

In other news... Millions did not get COVID after vaccination.

Those that have taken the vaccine are the second stage test population.
the 1st stage pop was tested for lest than few months. No other drug/vaccine has been run through so quick.
IMO the level of trust for these drugs is unwarranted.
We have a few months of test and the word of the drug maker$.
If that enough for others fine, but lets not pretend that it's crazy to doubt the safety... especially compared to the risk of dying from Covid1984.

The hype about the high death rate is just that --ffing hype. The authorities are listing Covid-19 as the cause when the primary causes are old age and other maladies.
Now suddenly when more light has been shone on that false narrative- the same authorities start screaming about new mutant strains and how much worse those "new strains" are! but have not yet given --more made up numbers on that new scam.

Fear, that is the game being played.
And they know that it works.... --Tyr

IMO the level of denial is unwarranted. There's anecdotal evidence and there's the reality of the testing they did and the lack of people dying. I'm still just utterly confused about people on the right being anti-vaccine when it's practically the only thing trump got right last year. But to each their own and we'll see how things work out. If you don't want it don't want it don't get it, life will move forward.
