According to the convicted fraudster, she was given the Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine in April 2013.
According to the lawsuit, "Ms. Sorokin made numerous requests for a booster shot." "She never received any response."
Her lawyers stated that she tested positive for Covid mid-January. She experienced "a fever, persistent, cough, nausea and migraines" as a result.
According to civil action, even after being released from quarantine on Jan. 29, she "continued to experience lingering symptoms including fatigue, coughing and brain fog,"
ACLU attorneys stated that Sorokin is currently at the Orange County Correctional Facility, Goshen, New York. She "has many medical conditions that make it vulnerable to serious illness and death," including chronic kidney infection, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety.

The CDC recommends that boosters be given to all eligible inmates.

She was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison, before she was freed in February of last year and then taken to federal custody to be deported.
