A former soldier who says she suffered a debilitating heart condition as a result of the Moderna COVID vaccine has shared explosive documents in which the military ties the shots to health conditions.
Army National Guard Specialist Karoline Stancik, 24, told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo and former CBS reporter Catherine Herridge, she did not have any heart conditions prior to receiving the vaccine under the Department of Defense’s vaccine mandate in 2021.
She has since been diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, according to a US Army memo, which ties the vaccine to the syndrome.
Some 17,000 soldiers refused the shots, flouting the Biden administration’s mandate with the support of many conservatives who agreed with their concerns over the pace at which it was produced.
The military eventually reversed the rule in January 2023.
