Covid Vaccine

[TylerBeer]

You guys are absolutely in your right not to get it, but putting out conspiracy theories and half baked assumptions about vaccines should also be mocked ruthlessly

Just wondering - what conspiracy theories?
Is it right to stay isolated from everyone for ever more - that strengthens our immune system does it?
Keep kids muzzled up from 3years old upwards for the foreseeable future - good for their (developing) immune system too? As well as their psychiatrics?
And Mike Yeadon - ex chief scientific advisor/VP at Pfizer? Good egg or FOS?

And I'm certainly not anti vax.
I'm anti this one for sure at the moment though as it's too early days IMHO and the jury is well and truly out.

no not the forseeable future - and the vaccine is a specific way to get there.     Too early? It took a year  - that's a pretty long time given it was the most important thing in the world.. Also it's not the 1940s anymore, just because a vaccine took a decade then.. we've come a ways!

newb, don't put extra work on me you KNOW you are a conspiracy nut, you should just own that and move on

I got my 2nd Pfizer shot yesterday and feel fine.

Not only that but I'm fully chipped now to 5G and have a hot line directly to Bill Gates.  :ice:

Could you get Gates to fix Windows 10?...it sucks, likely has Covid!!!😜

Ha ha, yeah, that's definitely one of the most important things we need to talk about.

I'll wait. I sit in a tube full of people from who knows where a minimum of 4 times a week. Have since the beginning of the year.
Maybe I've got it, maybe I haven't. Wife and I both had a low grade illness but no fever at all, for about a week in late February.
I'm prolly more exposed than most Americans.
We have never gotten a flu shot, and don't see a reason to start. Both shots are coin tosses on protection due to variants.

I'm scheduled for tomorrow evening to get my first dose. Been waiting until the more susceptible got theirs and now my wife says there is an over-abundant supply. She worked the vaccine clinic this weekend and only had about 50% of the scheduled openings filled.

Good to hear. No side effects for me, either. Had 2nd Pfizer shot 13 days ago.

Get my second Friday.  First went with just mild soreness in my arm.  Hopefully the second will be the same.

Just mild soreness in arm, nothing else for 1st shot. Arm was much more sore the 2nd shot, but I was fine a few days after. Nothing unbearable, was just really sore (hurt like a mother) for a little less than 24 hours. Warm shower the next morning and my arm pain magically was cut in half.

Yeah Tim, the vaccine sends us to boot camp. "left, right, left, right". Then teaches us how to blast the COVID bugs at the firing range.  :p

It certainly gave both my parents a full workout when they had their first (Oxford) - the following day my sister said they were both walking around like a couple of zombies not knowing what day it was with intense headaches, and my mother never did her hair all-day because it "hurt like hell"!

Which makes me wonder ref people in care homes who have died within a couple of days of having the jab - if they have weak hearts, perhaps their body cannot handle the "work out"?

Some get pretty sick. Some no effects at all (like myself). My niece got really sick (she's a surgeon and glad she got it). My co-worker and both parents (in their early 80's) had zero side effects. My nephew's friend got pretty sick for a while. See JFord's post (14th page).

Like the actual COVID virus, the vaccines are unpredictable.

Data is telling us they are working. Not 100% effective (no vaccine ever was or ever will be), but they are working. Older people can visit their grandkids again.

There will be stories about fully vaccinated people getting sick. Many will attempt to sensationalize it. It is nothing new. If 5% get sick despite being vaccinated, that is a huge win! Not a concern. (5% adds up to a large number of people)

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I hope your parents are doing better now...

from people i have talked to if they had covid their reaction to the shot was worse than non-covid

Get vaccinated against a virus with a 99.97 survival rate and the vaccines increases your risk of ALS. No thanks!

Great tagline...

What do you say to the people who survived but spent weeks in ICU and months recovering?

You must pat them on the back and tell they they did great by surviving

i like when they say " you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning "
well i have been struck by lightning so i'm not taking chances

This is pretty much what the ER nurse who gave me my 2nd vaccine said to me

Her exact words were "Congratulations Sir, you made it."

Keep in mind, this woman had spent the last 6 months working double shifts in a hospital
in Riverside, where they were stacking bodies in the halls because the reefer trucks in the parking lots were full.
