Key points

1. John Grant, 74, married 51 years with 40 years in construction and active in youth ministry, says he had been seriously ill only twice before vaccination.
2. He explains he chose to get vaccinated to honor government authority and to continue working with young people, receiving the shots with his wife.
3. Within about two weeks he developed a nosebleed, petechiae on his legs, and bleeding gums, and a blood test showed his platelets had dropped to four.
4. He says his platelets fell to zero and he was diagnosed with ITP, bleeding from multiple orifices with blood blisters, spending 12 days in hospital.
5. He describes a second episode months later with shortness of breath and chest pain, diagnosed as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli that scarred his lungs.
6. He says the injuries left him with reduced lung capacity and type 2 diabetes, forcing him to sell his rural acreage and rental properties and move into town.
7. He frames his testimony around his Christian faith, saying he has forgiven decision-makers and urging that hope and accountability come from standing before God.
