Topic: COVID vaccine - Who has received - provide details and side effects

[Stev-o]

Here more people that want a shot than getting it. Looong queue.

In Texas, you can now just walk in a drug store and get the shot.  Simple, no reason not too.

 Same here in Michigan. Wally World was doing them also at one time on a walk in basis. Wish I would have waited to get mine so I could get a free beer or some other bribe they are doing now

Some whom had the virus are choosing to not get the vaccine. Others simply do not want the vaccine. Problem with so many now running around maskless there are some in that group whom are being a---oles to those whom are still wearing a mask. You cannot go to a hospital or doctor's office without a mask...
Most businesses are relying on people to be adults about wearing a mask. Unfortunately, that proves to be a challenge for many to act like an adult...

I didn't really see his post as being political, just pointing out all the contradictions surrounding the issue.  Those contradictions are apparent to anyone paying attention and should be able to be discussed.   Fauci is snack in the middle of all that.  He is not supposed to be a politician, he is supposed to be a doctor.  If my doctor flip-flopped as much as Fauci has I wouldn't have much confidence in her.  This thread has some somewhat derogatory comments (selfishness, not acting like adults, etc) about people who have questions about the official narrative but those seem to get a pass but could be considered more objectionable than the meme he posted.

First day after my 2nd Pfizer shot. Woke up feeling all crunchy and achy, just the normal stuff. Kinda feel like I spent too much time in the sun. Last night my gf and daughter had low grade fevers. I was just tired, like too tired to function tired.

What do we really know about what these vaccines are doing to your body?  About long term effects? Isn't it OK to ask those questions?  Not intending to grind on anyone, but I always prefer balanced conversations.

Has the fda officially approved it, or it still considered an experimental drug? Sorry, I haven’t been keeping track.

 A friend did two weeks in intensive care with it, yet his wife hasn't had time to get a vaccine. Her brother in law also has long term lung damage. They have grandkids they watch several times a week. I just don't get it.

I have not seen any real negative side effects posted here. Very positive, informative and promising.

Unfortunately this has been happening the whole time, even prior to the vaccine. And of course it's still happening.

There are several reasons for vaccine hesitancy or refusal, including conspiracy theories, distrust of science, believing that if you have had Covid you don't need the shot, etc. A large enough percentage in the US believe these, and it will likely prevent herd immunity, unfortunately.

Medical science is virtually unanimous in its recommendations. There have been some funny reports of chiropractors saying things like women will become infertile if they stand next to someone who has had the vaccine. Chiropractors are not, of course, M.D.s.

John Hopkins, one of the world's best hospitals, published this in an effort to reassure people:

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/covid19-vaccine-hesitancy-12-things-you-need-to-know

If one does not believe in science, however, one will not believe in what Johns Hopkins has to say.

Getting back to the subject, however, it does address side effects, the question of whether people who have had Covid should get the jab (they should), and the idea that you can get Covid from receiving the vaccine (you can't).

There might even be more reasons.

Seems arbitrary & made up. Cite please.

Here’s what I’ve jokingly said to people about the vaccine.
One of 3 things is going to happen:
1. Everything is completely fine, life goes on
2. Something happens to me and I get some class action settlement or funding bill money from the screw up and I buy some dumb stuff to enjoy myself.
3. I drop dead and then it doesn’t matter or effect me anymore

I will say I do understand people’s concerns that it isn’t FDA approved and doesn’t have long term studies. Like that’s a very valid reason to be hesitant. I still don’t feel it was a rush job and the timeline most of these manufacturers followed, they started research and began working on vaccines very early on. The tech used for the MRNA vaccines have been experimented with for like 20+ years. COVID-19 is a specific kind of coronavirus. Science already knows about these kinds of viruses. For example SARS is another version. It’s not like these companies and researches started from scratch. The used pre-existing tech and things they already knew about put it all together.
I also understand the hesitation or not wanting to bother for the people who have already had it.
That being said, If you’re reason is you think the reason is you think the government is putting a tracker inside you, I can assure you, you’re not that important. No one cares where you spend your Tuesday afternoons. Put your tin foil hat back on

I have just got my 2nd shot!
Waiting 15 minutes then back home.

They have no T-shirts.
I would like to have one with text like:
"I survived 2 shots of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine! "
A visual emoji too.

[74cb750]

Got both shots with no side effects. No pain anywhere, but then again I'm a real stud, so that could explain it.

[PeWe]

Side effects will proove that you got the real thing!
Hopefully the minor ones..

[PeWe]

I feel some pain in arm where it got the injection. Like  a fist hitted it. It came earlier this time.
I'll see tomorrow.

[simon#42]

had my second dose of oxford astrazeneca on friday , no side effects at all so far

I do have a T-shirt which basically says 'I Got The Vaccine' with a beating heart on it.

Don't know for sure if it is related yet, but I am having elevated blood pressure issues since taking the J&J vaccine.
Most of my life and including the day I got the J&J vaccine, approx 3 months ago, my blood pressure: 120/60
Having to check it twice a day now and it is averaging 160/90.
Not gonna be a very happy camper if it turns out to be vaccine related.
Obviously too late to undo now. Blood pressure medication is not bringing it down so far.
IMHO, the "FACTUAL HARD SCIENCE" on this is all over the map. IMHO, mask are a "PROVEN??" joke.
In the news this morning: "Revising the overinflated Covid-19 numbers"
My experience and my opinion. Not an invitation for a bunch of liberal flap back.
We'll see. Only TIME will ultimately tell.

My blood pressure was not elevated but my heart rate was for about a week after both Pfiezer shots. I have a pacemaker due to slow heart rate. I wear a smartwatch with heart rate monitor. If I am sitting down my heart rate is normally 60bpm, the lowest my pacer will allow. After the shots I was sitting at 80-90 bpm for a week each. Kind of alarming because I wasn't expecting that but all is well now.

I had covid pretty hard last winter and I never want to go thru that again. My coworker got covid a week after me and was in the ICU for weeks and lost half his foot due to blood clots.
