Man who was 'paralysed by Covid jab' comes home from hospital after 420 days

A man who claims he was left paralysed after having a Covid jab has returned home from hospital after 420 days. Anthony Shingler, a former security worker and a dad of two, said he suffered a rare side effect after his first AstraZeneca vaccine last year.

Anthony was rushed to hospital when he came down with severe aches and pins and needles in March 2021. It came just days after he received his first injection.

He was left on a ventilator for months at the Royal Stoke University Hospital before he was transferred to Haywood Hospital, also in Stoke, near his home, in November. It has been a long and painful recovery for the dad, 58, who is finally back home with his wife Nicola and their two daughters.
