A prominent Australian DJ claims five doctors have told him 'privately' his serious health problems were caused by an adverse reaction to two doses of Moderna - but couldn't say so publicly or they would be deregistered. 

However, Australia's medical regulator has denied it discourages doctors from recording their medical opinions on the effects of Covid vaccines - after being approached by Daily Mail Australia about Tyson Illingworth's claims. 

The DJ, who goes by the name tyDi, went through a lengthy rehab after waking up partially paralysed just weeks after he was administered his first Moderna shot on October 1 last year.

Mr Illingworth claimed five doctors suggested a correlation between his Moderna vaccinations and his paralysis but they refused to go on the record out of fear of backlash or deregistration from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra). 

'I went from doctor to doctor to have them tell to me in private I would like to tell you what is happening to you, but I would be deregistered,' Tyson told Daily Mail Australia.

About 1.8million doses of Moderna vaccine have been administered in Australia up to January 2, 2022.

The most frequently reported side-effects from the jab include injection-site reactions (such as a sore arm) and more general symptoms, like a headache, muscle pain, fever and chills. 

Myocarditis and pericarditis, swelling of the heart, is a 'known but incredibly rare side-effect' from mRNA vaccines - Pfizer and Moderna - according to the TGA. 

The side effects are usually temporary, with most people getting better within a few days. 

Neuropathy is not one of the recognised side effects of Moderna, where the most serious long-term complications have been associated with heart inflammation. 

But Mr Illingworth claims that within weeks of receiving his first Moderna jab, he began to experience debilitating neurological pain, had red marks break out on his side and saw a deterioration in his motor skills. 

One morning he woke up to discover he couldn't his legs or hands - which was 'terrifying for someone who uses their hands for a job'. 

'I couldn't even write my name down,' he said.

A study in the UK observed 26 patients who experienced neuropathic symptoms within three weeks of vaccination but due to methodology limitations, it could not conclude the vaccine was the cause. 

However, Mr Illingworth also admitted he used nitrous oxide, also known as 'nangs' or laughing gas, when he was younger.

Heavy use of nitrous oxide, otherwise known as laughing gas, can cause neurological damage and peripheral neuropathy, which is damage to the nerves affecting movement and sensation. 

'That was a long, long time ago and no more extensive than you would get at the dentist if you got your wisdom teeth out,' he said. 

Since first telling his story to news.com.au, Mr Illingworth said 'countless' people had been in touch to offer similar stories of suffering severe neurological pain.
