More than two years after his stroke, Reimer is legally blind, suffers from seizures and impaired bowel function, and is unable to live alone.
(LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian family is filing a lawsuit against AstraZeneca two years after their formerly healthy son suffered a post-COVID jab stroke.
On March 16, Marina and Perry Reimer from Steinbach, Manitoba filed a Statement of Claim with the Manitoba Court of King’s Bench, alleging that their now 23-year-old son, Jackson Troy Reimer, suffered a hemorrhagic stroke in March 2021 after receiving AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 shot. The claim revealed that Reimer remains an invalid, dependent on his parents’ care.
“For Jackson, the AstraZeneca vaccine and/or Covishield was not the best vaccine,” the claim reads, adding that “other vaccines were both safer and more effective.”
The Reimer family has also filed against Vail Resorts, Verity Pharmaceuticals Inc., the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, and the Attorney General of Canada, stating that each of the defendants failed to inform Reimer of the risks involved with the AstraZeneca shot, thereby depriving him of his right to informed consent.
Reimer’s family said that their son had been “in excellent health” prior to the jab. Only six days after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID shot, he began experiencing headaches, vision loss, and dizziness. He was admitted to the Vancouver General Hospital where a CT scan revealed he was suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke.

According to the claim documents, Reimer required two platelet infusions followed by a craniotomy to stop his brain bleeding. Now, more than two years after his stroke, he is legally blind, suffers from seizures and impaired bowel function, and is unable to live alone. The 23-year-old also suffers from memory loss and mental impairment, including obsessive-compulsive disorders – all of which Reimer’s parents attribute to his reception of the Astra Zeneca shot.
“The plaintiffs claim that the stroke, the craniotomy and all symptoms arising from them were caused as a result of Jackson having been administered the AstraZeneca vaccine or Covishield,” the court document reads.
Reimer was forced to take the AstraZeneca shot after Whistler Blackcomb ski resort in British Columbia – owned by Vail Resorts – issued an email to him and other employees, telling them to get vaccinated as soon as possible and recommending that they receive the AstraZeneca shot.
That same day, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement claiming that the shots put out by AstraZeneca were “safe and effective.” He urged Canadians to get jabbed as quickly as possible, even though various countries had already banned the company’s jabs for their suspected link to blood clots.
