Mandi Johnson's story: If I died from COVID, they’d post about me. They’d light a candle. They’d say I was a hero. But I didn’t die. I got injured.. by the same thing they told me would save me. And now? I’m censored. Ignored. Mocked. The same people who begged me to take it won’t even acknowledge what it did to me. I lost my health. My mobility. I lost my energy. I almost lost my mind trying to prove I wasn’t crazy- and after all, it was “all in my head” in a way- 20+brain and spinal cord lesions later. I’m not a threat to public health.. I’m the consequence of a broken system- a system that promises protection But offers silence in return.
