I had very mild side effects from my second Pfizer dose. I was prepared for the worst after what people told me, but I only had a slight headache and some fatigue.

Nuge had symptoms for the last 10 days before he finally got tested; he could have been shedding virus for days before that. I wonder how many people he infected? No wonder we can't get control of this virus. :nonono:

Maybe he thought the viruses he already had from giving it to road sloots would eat Covid up?

About 21 hours removed from my 2nd Moderna dose. Had a headache earlier, took some Tylenol. Going to try and work our later if I still feel OK this afternoon. 

Yesterday I was 8 days post 2nd Pfizer - suddenly was lethargic and spike in the brain headache.

I fell asleep around 9pm on the couch (which I never do, that's the wife's position in our house)

She let me sleep because it looked good to her. Woke at 2am and could not get back to sleep. Headache faded late morning. Lethargy is gone. Don't feel post-sick wiped out at all.

Could possibly be an allergy thing, but never been tired like that from allergies.

This was my first dose, so no side affects so far. So I'm not one of the weirdos that get them on the first dose lol. 

My arm is sore as hell again. Same as after the 1st...maybe worse.

Yes sir! Easy set up too! The hospital texted me and all I had to do was text back #1 to look at appointment dates and then pick one of them and that's it. It's only down the road from me so I'm glad it kind of was a mess earlier and didn't have to go through a bunch of nonsense.

I had stronger symptoms after my first than I did my second. 

Seems to a correlation between blood type and severity of covid symptoms. My wife works with covid patients and has noted this. I've read a bit about. One of my best friends actually got covid at the same time she got the vaccine. She was covid positive when she got her first dose and just didn't know it. Covid for her was like the flu and she felt better in about a week. She's always been a heavy smoker, so I was really worried about her. She's fine now.

A colleague of mine who I am friends with, is a younger guy, non smoker, not overweight, no pre-existing conditions. Covid is kicking his arse. He was in the hospital but now home and on oxygen. I see him on zoom meetings and he does not look good. Grey and gaunt. Sometimes has to type in zoom meetings instead of talking. On oxygen constantly. They already told him, he going to be a "long haul" covid patient. He's had it a month now.

The problem with the vaccines are they may not be very effective. People coming in contact with the virus are still getting it, most of the vaccinated have not come in contact with it

https://www.statnews.com/2021/04/20/no-myth-catching-covid-19-after-being-vaccinated/

The problem with the virus is that it kills people and probably infects 20% of unvaccinated people it comes in contact with. The vaccinated people aren’t staying home and avoiding all public spaces, trust me on this, so they (we) have been exposed.  Also the people who still get it after vaccination aren’t getting very sick, In fact, there are ZERO reported hospitalizations of vaccinated people that had contracted it.

Vaccination offers at least some level of protection even if you don’t believe it’s 100%.  It’s better than nothing. 

plus, we can control the Mars rover with our minds now thanks to that chip.  

And also, I call dibs on the new vanity plate for my car.....5G4LIFE

That represents just 0.007% of the 84 million Americans with full protection against the virus

Sounds better than expected actually. 

5,800 people out of 84 million.

I  believe the people catching it AFTER the vaccine get a much less severe cases

 

Latest figures I could find

Yes but a very small % of those 84 million have come in contact with the virus so we don't know how effective it is yet

Right, out of the 84 Million completely vaccinated (at the time of that article), which is 0.007%.  That's not in any way "not very effective".  That's extremely effective.  When your brooding turns into lying, it's time to reassess.

I'm still covid free, before and after the vaccine, so I feel good about it.

What do you not understand? if you do not come in contact with the virus you can not get it, I guess you can't understand that. It is not out of 84 million, if you are vaccinated and do not come in contact with  the virus it is impossible to know how effective it is for you

The virus is still going around, pretty heavily in a lot of states.  So, I can guarantee you a lot of those people are coming in contact with people who have it.  And judging from my own experience, I've been eating in restaurants and generally being more casual about everything since getting my second vaccine, so I'm far more likely to come into contact with it than I was before.

Point is, you clearly have an agenda (which seems to be just general negativity no matter the situation) and all evidence right now shows that getting the vaccine is a significant advantage in both preventing you from contracting the virus and preventing the symptoms from becoming more serious.  So maybe lay off the negative sheet when you have no evidence and we need everyone to get vaccinated.

Yes i am sure many of the vaccinated have come in contact with the virus, I never said they didn't nor did I say the vaccine was in ineffective, so I am not the one with the agenda. I stated a fact that saying 6000 out of 84 million is misleading, you may not like that fact because of your agendabut it is a fact.

 

There are very good reasons to be negative at this point

And your position assumes that every person will eventually come into contact with the virus. Newsflash -- most people won't. Therefore, looking at it over the 84 million is fine. You can argue that once masking/social distancing goes away, the percentage of people coming into contact with infected people will go up...except, many more people will be vaccinated and there will be fewer sick people. 

Shockingly, you are dishonestly twisting the data to fit your Debbie Downer troll personality.

No it does not. Also that 6000 is low which even the CDC admits and these people can spread it to others who refuse the vaccine which will be in the millions, there are good reasons to be negative.

Damn that sucks. I hope he gets better. Suprisingly working for a grocery chain we haven't had to many severe cases like that. I've had co-workers who have lost family members but, no one actually working in the stores got anything to serious
