Healthy Minnesota mom suffered life-altering stroke after Pfizer vax

Their love story traces back to their teenage years.

“It was 1993. I was a manager at Pizza Hut. Jen shortly after got a job as a waitress and we kind of met that way,” Andy Nitz said. “The first thing that caught my eye right away, she was a beautiful girl. She was very outgoing and fun to be with.”

The relationship blossomed into a more than 20-year marriage and raising a son in central Minnesota.

Jen Nitz was a regular runner who didn’t drink or smoke. She took living a healthy lifestyle seriously alongside her husband.

“We love the outdoors and projects. We love working on stuff up north, hiking, and biking and time on the water. We’re outside as much as possible,” Andy said.

It’s what makes Jen Nitz’s story so heartbreaking. She’s now in a wheelchair and struggles to talk.
