Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?
Has there been any reports of iron depletion in the blood after receiving the Pfizer vaccine?

Sorry I missed the 1st part of your question. The symptoms started within days of the 2nd vaccine. They progressively get worse.
My dad is having the same issue. 2nd moderna shot April 23rd. Black stool and was in ER on 9/26 with 6.1 hemoglobin and immediately received 2 pints of blood to stabilize him. 10/13 bloodwork still at a 7.5. So glad I found this link because my dad thought I was nuts saying it was from the vaccine. My mother in law now has anemia too after her getting both doses of moderna.
I had the Moderna vaccine and had enough of a decrease in my iron that I needed an infusion. My iron levels and RBC counts went down dramatically. Up until the vaccine I was donating blood to keep my hemocrit below 50 (I get testosterone which can cause this). When I had the blood test that showed my iron levels were below normal I was completely shocked. Now, I'm 8 months after my last Moderna dose, and my RBC and hemocrit are back up. Seems too coincidental to me that this happened when I had the COVID-19 vaccine.
absolutely not. I firmly believe that my issue was caused by the vaccine. Since the symptoms started within a few days after the second vaccine.
I had my first vaccination in March 2021 and in less than one week I tested positive for Covid. While I was ill, my blood pressure dropped dramatically (bordering on dangerously low) and I could not stand up without feeling as if I would pass out. It wasn't until approximately two months later that I had my iron checked and discovered that I was suffering from low iron and low ferritin. I had just assumed that the severe drop in my BP and ongoing shortness of breath were the result of Covid but now I wonder whether all of this was actually caused by the iron depletion as a side effect of the vaccination instead. The many accounts from people who do not indicate that they had Covid seem to point to the vaccination. As mentioned, I had one shot (Moderna) followed by Covid and an infusion of monoclonal antibodies (Regeneron). I did not get my second vaccination and will not get a booster. I believe, and evidence seems to indicate, that natural antibodies are at the very least, as good as the vaccine, are longer-lasting and more effective. And all these months later I am still waiting for my iron/ferritin levels to be where they belong.
I'm sorry to hear that you were infected with Covid before the vaccine had time to take effect.
Remember that a well documented after effect of a Covid infection, even before the vaccine was available, is anemia.
As for boosters and immunity from prior infection, please continue to watch the research - more is being learned as time goes by.

Shortness of breath is a definite symptom of low iron. Did you ver confirm for sure that you had covid. I know that some people have tested positive, but subsequently tested negative. I know there are sometimes false positives. Have you had a blood test to see if you have the antibodies? It is all very baffling and it does not help that the govt is not being completely honest. Maybe 10 tears from now we will finally get the truth.
I feel the same way until I am given evidence that my problems had nothing to do with the vaccine. I do not want to go through with severe anemia, hospitalization, and needing a transfusion.
I did test positive...but did not have any additional blood work to check for antibodies. Since I also had the monoclonal antibodies, I must assume that I have antibodies either from the virus itself and/or the infusion. I continue to have shortness of breath—not severe but noticeable when I walk up the stairs, etc., and I've concluded that all are related. As mentioned above there is slow improvement in iron/ferritin blood levels but the numbers hover just above the line of demarcation between normal and below normal range. As a side note, the government seems only to be honest when it suits the circumstances and, even then, I doubt that there is ever complete honesty.
My B levels are normal. Have not checked my D levels. I asked my Pharmacist about taking iron. Told to talk to Dr first. Should be able to talk to Dr after the weekend.
