Corona vaccine

Anybody took it? Personally I got the first dose.

The wife and I got our 2nd dose of the pfizer vaccine last week. Thankfully we had no ill effects.

Right on. Glad you guys made it through as well.

The only thing bad about it was the jab believe it or not. The tech said they ran out of the smaller needles and they were using 22's. I told her it felt like a nail going it.

By all accounts the Pfizer one is supposed to be pretty good isn't it.

From what I've read I believe so. Our 19yr old had covid about a a month ago and he still lives at home with us. I'm very surprised we didn't catch it from him. Maybe we were asymptomatic?

I got the Moderna vaccine. The second day I felt nausea but that could have also been from anything else, food/hot weather.

Glad to see were slowly moving on from this chapter. 80% of the UK population has now had at least one jab so pretty much everyone around me has had it.

Is that the version they are generally giving in the UK mate? A lot of people I know had this side on the second day.

I was hoping for the AstraZeneca or Pfizer as they have shown to be effective against the new strand. But when I got to the front of queue they told me it was going to be Moderna. They did say it was same as Pfizer and is also made by Pfizer.

I think they are using Moderna more in the UK now as I heard it’s cheaper to transport and can be stored longer in a fridge.
Next day I was feverish and my stomach felt like I’ve had a bad takeout, but since then I have been fine.

I got my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine the other day. Delighted.
No bothers.
Roll on shot 2, a good summer and us all covered before winter comes back around

Saint gannett's picture

I had the Astra-Zeneca, both doses, first one had nothing in side effects, second gave me a dry Uvula (punching bag at back of throat) and then I had my first ever 'test-flu' symptom with a horrible swelling at my glute injection points, to the point I missed a week at the gym for nearly crippling irritation. I have never had PIP before (unless hitting a nerve) so maybe the vaccine? The 350 blend has a warning of PIP, so hard to say, but it was bad and the swelling went a patch about 2" x 4". Not nice. I most worried because I always have really high RBC on cycle and vaccine is said to have a bit of clotting, not a nice combo in my opinion. I skipped my AAS for 2x weeks, just in case.

No I haven’t , and probably won’t. I try to keep my philosophy simple tho...I don’t want anyone forcing me to get it...but in return, I wouldn’t ever try to stop someone from getting it. To each their own. But I’m still human and have my biases. I live in an area where I can easily have zero contact with people around the house. No “neighborhood “ to speak of. I have family members that have gotten vaccinated, vote different than I do, and have a different belief system. We don’t have to agree in order to love each other and still engage in conversations. Takes maturity from both parties and it sure as hell didn’t happen overnight lol

I don't disagree with your right to choose.

That said...

Takes maturity from both parties

Funny how that dialog crept into your rational, I can understand, I'm healthy, I'm young, I'm isolated, I'm fearful...
But now you have to ask yourself, "am I angry?", "righteously indignant?" If you are you then have to ask yourself are you letting your emotions get the best of you.

When I was a kid if I reached to change the TV channel (yes kids, pre remote control) my younger brother would tell me to change the channel. I would get incensed because it gave the appearance that my younger brother was telling me, the elder, that to do. So, I'd sit down and not change the channel and we'd watch whatever crap came on next. I sure showed him!

Working with the Test and Trace program, I get 8-hours a day of experience with people who are the most ill and their contacts. We aren't really allowed to discuss the program, but overall, I would say, be very afraid of those around you and be certain that many out there are not caring about fellow citizens at all, travelling everywhere like nothing is present and then amazed they have the virus; and not worried in the least of the dozens they had contact with. COVID is very real and I daily experience the people affected by it. I isolate too, and if I cannot make the gym by 5:00 am, I just workout at home. I also do almost all my shopping online because of the experience I have from communications.

As usual, a good analogy

I have been fully vaccinated (Pfizer) for 2 months now. I received both doses without a hitch.

Big Tone36's picture

Shit was a breeze, a little tenderness at injection site. Second shot, i woke up next day after injection with the chills for about 30 mins. I was good once i got moving around, brain little foggy but all was good. I got Moderna. Have no worries, i hear people i know who had covid and then got vaccine had covid like symptoms for 2-3 days after second shot.

Izzy75's picture

I had my two shots from Pfizer. The first one was like nothing. But the second one kicked my ass good. The symptoms lasted only 24hrs, but it was bad. Vomiting, diarrhea, cold sweats, headache... still I went to work like that and I work inside a freezer, so you guys can imagine what a "good" day it was. It's been more than a month by now and I feel pretty darn good, no lingering side effects or nothing.

Wow, after my second shot all I started to experience was communications coming from a ship parked on the other side of Jupiter. Nothing as severe as what you experienced.

-They keep repeating 42 for some reason.

I was also receiving communications, but it was from Uranus... I couldn't understand a word it was saying. ;)

Lmao. I had an ass kicking from the second shot as well. But feeling good now and finally after 6 weeks even my blood oxygen level is almost back to normal levels.

vhman's picture

I’ve had both for almost 2 months. Pfizer. Only side I had was a sore arm after the first.
I hope everyone jumps on this train and we can move on from this nightmare. Best of luck.

Respectfully I haven't yet, but I know it'll probably get to a point were I'll feel better about it. I've had several friends and family that has recieved it and it's been mixed Rollercoaster of health and opinions. My plan is to hold out until more time has passed and I feel it's more credible, positive, and successful. Just too new and quick of a vaccine for me, imo.

Greg's picture

I'm went with the Dos Equis vaccine.

0newheelup's picture

Yes, that's what's makes u the most interesting man on eroids! Lol

Pale's picture

Keep it civil, no crazy conspiracy theories either.

I had the Moderna shot. First one was a breeze, then 8 days later I came down with the UK variant, it kicked my ass. Then I was told by the local health authorities to go ahead and get my second shot at 14 days after my fever broke. Well the day after the second shot I felt just like Covid all over again. Fever, head ache, my cough got way worse (it still wasn’t completely gone yet) but then next day I was ok except my cough still sucked for a bit again.

So what I tell people is this. You risk having 1 bad day with the vaccine. You risk having your life upended for two weeks if you are lucky with Covid. So choose wisely.

Just check out how many patents the cdc, or cdc members, have on vaccines.
Science, business or both?

I know a handful of people who got pretty ill after having this jab, it always seems to come on the 2/3 day after. One of them had to be taken to Hospital in an ambulance the fever was that bad and the others all had to take time off work and they are real workhorses so it wasn't a put on. I was up for getting it but after hearing all this I'm not so keen now Lol

Bud I am totally with you on it being the right thing to do, absolutely. I have never been part of the whole conspiracy theory shite of the government wants to keep us all locked up indoors and are making it all up. It just freaks me out a bit knowing that stuff is in me doing god knows what and there seems a 50/50 chance of feeling like death for a day or 2 - But then the alternative of getting Corona Virus and not being able to breath is way worse.

May as well start a thread on politics and religion as well. Really not the place for this

Gigel's picture

Yeah, could be a bit on the edge but I think as opposite to religion and politics, we don't have much hard feelings to defend or trash the vaccine

Halsey's picture

I agree some, it can get out of control pretty quick.
