Covid vaccine

[Ms. Tamzarian]

Getting my initial moderna shot Disaturday anyone else got it and if so what was your side effects?

Fuck yeah congrats Fap! Just got shot 2 of Moderna today, fuck yes! Shot 1 made me drowsy and very mildly woozy but nothing more - hopefully shot 2 is similar, but we'll see! Averagely, shot 2 is the ringer as far as reactions go. Nevertheless, you should be a-okay at the very least for shot 1! Best of luck my friend, keep us updated!

[Grampa]

Got my second Moderna shot on Tuesday at 6pm. By 9 I was feeling the chills and aches. When I woke up Wednesday I was even worse, and as the day went on it only got worse. Crazy joint and muscle pains, an insane skin sensitivity, headache and fatigue. Felt very similar to when I assume I had covid last year, but without the coughing up blood aspect.
Feeling slightly better today but still called in to work because I’m nowhere near 100%.

Still not nearly as bad as the fucking month that I was sick last year and the months of coughing and shit that I dealt with afterwards. Would get the shot again, but scheduled for a Friday so I don’t miss work again.

Getting my initial moderna shot Disaturday anyone else got it and if so what was your side effects?

I got mine on 4/20... My arm is super fucking swollen. Like the size of a tennis ball bump where i got the shot... Arm hurts super bad. Also last night I had a gnarly fever... Feel a little better today but I am still feeling a little weird. I had covid last year... Apparently people who had it have a reaction to the vaccine... I heard the second dose is worse... So I'm a little worried, but in the end it will be worth it I'm sure.

Got dose 1 of Moderna a few weeks ago. Some arm pain the next day but that was it - was able to ride 30 miles on my bike no problem. The nurse told me to hydrate like crazy and I think that helped. Still nervous for how I’ll react to dose 2.

[DarthDingusMaximus]

I’ve been dodging getting vaccinated for I hate needles but I’m moving so I have to do this for right now and where I land I’ll get another shot.

[jamersonbass]

Hey Pals!  Here to share my vaccination story.

I got my first dose of Moderna the weekend before starting a new job.  I had zero symptoms with the first dose save for a sore arm. 

I actually got my second shot while quarantining.  Roommate had a positive test, so my gf and I acted as his personal bell hop for door dash and other food deliveries.  To his credit, he stayed in his room 95% of the time and would mask up when he had to go into common areas.  I got tested twice after his diagnosis.  We have a rapid testing drive thru station, and I had 2 negative tests over the last week.

I got my second dose last Friday.  Felt good enough to have a couple beers Friday night, and I was keeping in contact with my family members who all had their second dose.  My parents did completely fine with their second dose.  My brother, who had his the day before mine, warned me that around the 35th hour afterwards, he was having some sweats and chills.  The worst it got for me was that sort of feeling of achey-ness that usually makes me ask "Am I getting sick right now"?  I took my temp and was at 98.6, which is up a degree or degree in a half to my natural temp. 

Besides that, my girlfriend rolled over in her sleep on my arm and that hurt pretty good, but all in all nothing too crazy for me personally.  Set to return to work this Saturday, and I got a non rapid test at my doc yesterday, so will know either way by the end of tomorrow. 

[nonickname]

Got my 1st AZ shot yesterday (our roll out here in Canada is horrible)...went to bed with a sore arm, as expected, but today have had crazy aches in my ribcage, headache and ran a fever that I tried to nap through. My wife being the saint she is said "get up I need help with dinner" so I laboured through some stirfry. Am now back on the couch exhausted from 20 mins of effort.

But the new soy sauce was good - San J tamari.

"The school prominently advertises on its website support for “medical freedom from mandated vaccines.” - Nope. The parents signed up and paid for this. I'm at a loss.

Article also shows the head of the school has been touting vaccination misinformation. I'm sure all the kids who are in this school all have parents who have the same ideology as her. Also, not surprised this is in Florida.

even worse is that 9 out of 10 of these kids will end up living as adults with these same ideologies

Got my second Moderna shot on Sunday. Was up all night shivering and sweating and with an awful headache. Feeling okay today and skated a bit. Def better than getting COVID and/or giving it to my family.

[pugmaster]

Got my second moderna on Friday.  Slightly sore arm.  When I got the first shot, I was a little achy.

[TastyBurrito]

White House made an announcement stating, "If you're FULLY vaccinated and are outside NOT in a large group/crowded area, you can go without a mask."

I can't imagine how many people will take this as, "Even if you have Covid, you can go without a mask all the time."

[Enrico Pallazzo]

Was walking out of breakfast with a few friends on Saturday, still had our masks on, and had some drunk dude and his friends come up to us and scream "You're gonna die! Keep breathing in your own CO2 you idiots!". Very chill way to start the afternoon.

2nd dose scheduled for this weekend, hoping the recovery period is brief/mild.

[shpongle]

got my 1st pfizer last thursday.. been almost a week since and im finally kind of feeling alright again. first 2 days my arm was so sore i couldnt really even raise it up in the air. body aches and a headache and fever also for 4-5 days. i eat pretty healthy (vegan) and maybe my body isnt used to foreign invaders im not sure. kind of dont want to go through the same ordeal on the 2nd i hope the 2nd shot is easier

[TheLurper]

I almost went completely insane on some old dude today. He got in the elevator without a mask on and said, "It is ok, I've been vaccinated."


I'm glad the rest of you guys are getting your vaccines. I can't wait to get mine. Good luck pushing through those side effects.

[EdLawndale]

I had my first Pfizer shot a couple weeks ago. Sore arm. A little fatigue. Nothing worse.

Hoping for a similar outcome when I get my second shot next week.

Good luck, all.

[JANUS]

I’m still out here like “man...Trudeau is fuckin’ up!”

Then I remember:

[Coastal Fever]

Yeah I’m definitely happy to be in Canada throughout all this, but getting stimulus checks and timely vaccines would’ve been nice too.  My partner works with the elderly and I work in hospitals and other high traffic areas, but because we’re under 55 we have to wait at least another month or two for our first dose.

That’s it, I’m rigging up a bio-reactor in the garage. BRB.

[NorthShore]

Do you guys think weed would help with side effects from the 2nd shot? Or would it bring on some paranoid state where you think the vaccine is killing your body?

Maybe I'll just stick to chicken soup or pho...

[layzieyez]

I wouldn't do anything mind/mood altering with the vaccinations. With all the variations in reactivity, it's best to be sharp and on the lookout for whatever is outside the norms.

For example, both my wife and daughter had tender lymph nodes on the armpit area the side that was vaccinated a few days out as the only side effect they experienced. Luckily, wife had the presence of mind to research and discover it is quite common.

[Idk]

I smoked a ton of weed the next day after my J&J shot. But I always smoke when I have a fever or headache since it helps make it go away. That’s just me.

[TheBoognish]

Canadian here, they vaccinated 60 or so people with AstraZeneca at my job yesterday, about 20 of ‘em are out sick, apparently the side effects are terrible.

Waitin’ on the Pfizer one to be available for people in my age group.

Thanks for your comment, will probably lay off the weed for a few days then. Glad your family was otherwise okay.

I took a shot of vodka after my first dose of Pfizer and went to bed at 9, felt okay since... just a little muscle pain in the arm.

This thread is crazy man.  Either you guys are way more brave than I am or you just question shit way less ...  as of right now, you are all still in the clinical trial phase of a new technology (that has never in the past received approval for human use), long term effects are still unknown and you can still potentially get and spread even after getting vaccinated.  They're still even recommending all of the same precautions as if you didn't have it for the most part.  So lessening symptoms in your own body (maybe although some people get worse symptoms when they come across it in the wild) and virtue signaling are the only things you have to show for getting it?  I respect everyone's right to choose what's right for them, but I'll be waiting until studies conclude before I do anything and I can't see how anyone can shit on someone for not getting it yet.  Sorry if my critical thinking and being cautious of experimental drugs knocks me down a peg on here pals.  Open to any constructive criticism with valid proof to back up anything I may have wrong here as I'm always open to learning.

You may still get and spread the virus.  You may need boosters in the future.  You still won't be going back to normal as the following on the cdc website points out.

"Although COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting sick, scientists are still learning how well vaccines prevent you from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to others, even if you do not have symptoms. Early data show the vaccines do help keep people with no symptoms from spreading COVID-19, but we are learning more as more people get vaccinated.

We’re also still learning how long COVID-19 vaccines protect people.

For these reasons, people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 should keep taking precautions in public places, until we know more, like wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others, avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces, and washing your hands often."

Hopefully I'm just way too cautious and you all will be healthy and happy and have no side effects!

I took the vaccine because I trust modern medicine and the scientists who developed the vaccines more than any crackpot internet conspiracy theorist (not labeling you as such, just making a point). Vaccines are an amazing scientific achievement by humanity and have saved millions of lives. You get vaccinated at an early age for several diseases that used to take countless lives and don’t have to worry about dying from small pox or getting paralyzed from polio, and no one questions that. You can take a flu shot each year (which mind you, is much less effective than the current Covid vaccines are at preventing infection but no vaccine is 100% effective at preventing infection) Yes it’s true that these vaccines for Covid are brand new but they were developed on the back of many years of prior research (https://historyofvaccines.blog/2021/01/03/the-history-of-the-mrna-vaccines/) and thus far have had extremely negligible negative effects on the millions of people who’ve taken them and have undoubtedly already saved many lives. I took my second jab of the Pfizer shot two weeks ago and after some expected/typical side effects of fever, fatigue, and chills that lasted two days I feel 100% fine and my anxiety about the future has turned to hope for us actually getting out of this mess and being able to safely return to some of the activities we love (live music for me!). Moreover, it’s very unlikely that a pharmaceutical giant such as Pfizer would risk their entire business by putting out a vaccine that is dangerous to its recipients. The scientists behind these vaccines know what they’re doing, and if you don’t trust vaccines then you may as well ahead and stop trusting every other technology that modern science has afforded us.

No vaccine manufacturers can be held liable (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/300aa-22), so even if there were catastrophic results, they wouldn't face any repercussions whatsoever.  Which is another reason to be weary.  And while mrna vaccines have been attempted in the past, they were never approved for human use to my knowledge, until this emergency order allowed it.  And everything I stated is backed up by the sources of the trusted experts that follow the science.  Nothing I posted is conspiracy theory what so ever.  That being said, I've researched all of those as well, but kept this to facts only and my reasons for hesitancy.

And fwiw, here's this https://www.dmlawfirm.com/crimes-of-covid-vaccine-maker-pfizer-well-documented/  Pretty sure they aren't too concerned.
