Kristi Simmonds and two other medical professionals appeared on The Highwire (skip to 12:41), speaking about their vax injuries. The three women were able to get the vax very early on in the pandemic because they worked in healthcare. Unfortunately I didn’t see them speak before I decided to get the vax.
My friend Angelia has put up a video on Facebook about what Kristi did and explains why she should get her recognition.

Most of you know Kristi Simmonds, and if you don’t, let me tell you a little about the incredible woman she is.
Five years ago, Kristi made the decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccine with the hope of protecting her family, her patients, and those around her. Within days, she experienced a severe allergic reaction that quickly turned into a devastating medical journey. What began as swelling and difficulty breathing soon progressed into uncontrollable muscle movements, body convulsions, and excruciating pain.
Over the past five years, Kristi has fought harder than most of us could ever imagine. Through countless doctor visits, hospital stays, setbacks, and unimaginable suffering, she has continued to show incredible strength, courage, and faith. If you know Kristi, you know she has never stopped fighting.
Throughout this entire journey, her husband, Nigel Simmonds, has been by her side every single day. He became Kristi’s full-time caregiver, dedicating his life to ensuring she received the love, care, and support she needed. Because of his commitment to caring for Kristi, Nigel has been unable to work, making this journey not only emotionally devastating but financially difficult as well.
Sadly, after five long years, Kristi’s body has begun to shut down. She has now been placed on hospice and has been told she has only days left. As her family focuses on spending every precious moment together, we want to help ease the financial burden they are facing so Nigel can focus on being with Kristi and honoring her wishes without the added stress of financial worries.
If you are able, please consider donating. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward supporting Nigel and their family during this heartbreaking time. If you’re unable to donate, we completely understand—please help by sharing this fundraiser and keeping Kristi, Nigel, and their loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you to everyone who has followed Kristi’s journey over the past five years and has continued to surround her family with love, encouragement, and support. Your kindness means more than words can express.
