Ágnes Györkösy is taking legal action against the Hungarian government, claiming her two sons, aged 17 and 20, became incurably ill as a result of mandatory vaccinations.
Despite not being opposed to vaccinations, Györkösy believes that her children's health issues were triggered by their inoculations. She recalls that after her firstborn received the MMR
vaccine at 15 months old, concerning symptoms such as tremors, compulsive movements typical of those on the autism spectrum, and self-inflicted biting till bleeding of his hands and feet, appeared within two days. She sought various treatments and therapies for her son, but his condition did not improve. Over the years, despite her efforts to argue that the
vaccine caused her son's illness, her concerns were disregarded by authorities.
The health of her second son, Dominik, also deteriorated following his vaccinations. "After Csabi's case, we were prepared for the possibility that the vaccinations could cause trouble for Dominik too," Györkösy explained. She tried to argue that pre-existing antibodies in his system could result in adverse reactions post-vaccination, but her concerns were ignored. "A doctor showed up at our door with two police officers and vaccinated my little boy, despite my attempts to prevent it," she recounted.
After receiving the
vaccine, her son's body reportedly turned red, swelled up, and then he stopped breathing. He spent three months on life support in the intensive care unit following the incident. His mother continued to take him for developmental therapies, which allowed him to eventually stand on his own. However, his condition has recently deteriorated.
"There were times I had to resuscitate him five times a month because he would simply stop breathing," the mother shared.
Györkösy is demanding 120 million forints (approximately USD 390,000) in compensation from the state, though the actual cost of full restitution, taking into account the treatments her children have received and will need in the future, could be significantly higher.
