Apparently The FDA just made J&J toss 60 million doses because they were made in a "troubled plant".

As someone who’s already fully vaccinated I’ve been seeing more news lately that’s been pointing out dangers and risks of taking the vaccines. I only have one friend who’s pretty vaccine hesitant (him and his kids have every vaccine except covid so far), and he sends me article after article with reaction and death reports. I hope I don’t sound ignorant when I say I really don’t know what to believe/trust anymore, and now seeing people push getting the vaccine gives me the same uneasy feeling as people who are against it. Just my two cents. I support getting the vaccine but I guess I can understand people who are hesitant in terms of science and long term effects (to an extent). Can a pal break it down for me and put my mind at ease?

For every article they send you about reactions to the vaccine you should send him a few thousand seperate reports of somebody dying from covid

Nice!

good on you Frank.

since i'm figuring the university campuses where i will be teaching this fall will be mandating vaccination, i'm figuring it's finally about time for me to get the first Moderna myself...

edit: by the way, for the people in here who have read my few comments as being anti-vaccination, or whatever, they have not been. i've put off getting them to make my own informed decisions and because i'm still yet to do shit like eat in restaurants and go to parties...

How long do y’all think it will be until society (at least in the US/NA where covid has raged for over a year) reaches a level of “covid acceptance” where we are no longer counting every single infection, but only focusing on cases which resulted in serious illness/death? My wife and I are both fully vaccinated, and we attended a live show last week. She has some sniffles and a light cough and we are planning on taking a trip next week but we’re in a weird place where we wonder if we’re carrying covid and displaying light to no symptoms. At what point do we say fuck it/not get tested for covid and press on with life? I know it depends on who you ask because everyone still has a big opinion on it, but I think it’s an interesting discussion we should have at some point

[Billy Bitchcakes]

not now at least that's for sure, go get tested

[myfeetarekillingme]

Yeah definitely the plan to still get tested and call off any travels in the event of a positive test. Just getting exhausted trying to take this much care when half of the eligible population in this country is fucking refusing to even get vaccinated. It fills me with spite, honestly

I'm not seeing many reports on lymph node reactions to the vaccine, so here's my story.

In 2015 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, had all my treatment and got the all clear by late 2016.

A few weeks ago I felt a lump just above my collarbone on the left side of my neck. It felt so similar to the time I first felt the thyroid cancer, but this time it had a dull ache.

I had multiple examinations that very same day due to my history and I was booked in for scans and a biopsy a few days later. Turns out this grape sized lump was one of my lymph nodes reacting to the vaccine, and the oncologists have seen this pop up quite a bit recently especially amongst patients that have gone through thyroid and breast cancer as the nodes are swelling in the neck, armpit and breast areas.

Just thought it was worth mentioning in case anyone has found any lumps within a few weeks of receiving their dose.

Obviously this kind of thing is worth getting checked out regardless!

Again, without knowing their medical history, without having gone to medical school, we cannot draw conclusions based on a Instagram post. You’re better off not believing anything you see online.

The number of vaccine adverse reactions seems to be incredibly low compared to how many have been vaccinated, but it's difficult to see stuff like this.
 

from her post:

March 18th, 2021 is the day that I made a decision that flipped my entire world upside down.

I’ve been EXTREMELY quiet about this decision and the adverse effects that it has caused me simply because I didn’t want to scare anyone out of making their own decision on receiving the vax..

With all this being said, I made the decision to get my vax before I left Las Vegas to move back to my home state of North Carolina because I wanted to play it safe and make sure those around me weren’t in harms way. I also do have underlying autoimmune issues which I have openly talked about for a while now.

I’m not ashamed of why I received the vax because I know my heart was in a good place and my intentions were pure..and yet here I am struggling with adverse side effects from this life changing decision.

Doctors have been pretty lost on what exactly is going on..running multiple tests, medical imaging and neurological exams coming back with no answers..

Here’s just a glimpse of what I’ve been dealing with-

Symptoms that come and go:
Dystonia
Difficulty walking and weakness within the legs
Dull aching & sharp shooting pains within the legs
Vertigo
Heart palpitations
Lack of sensation throughout the body
Cold sensation in the legs
Pain behind the eyes
Tremor in right hand

Symptoms that are 24/7:
Short term memory loss
Trouble forming sentences
Feeling out of body
Depth perception is off
Visual Changes
Severe brain fog

I am not sharing this post to scare anyone out of making their own decision, however I do believe that people must know exactly what the risks are. These stories shouldn’t be so hidden on social media platforms or the news and I’m done being so quiet about this..

If there is anyone out there that is experiencing something similar don’t be afraid to let your voice be heard. Please share!!! I can use all the insight and help I can get right now..

Lol this is 100% fake news for clout and attention.

If not, well...she's fine now.

Get vaccinated folks.

The dead giveaway for me that she is a hoax is her referring to "getting the vax" and "the vax did this to me". She would probably use the whole word if she had actually been vaccinated and if this was the possible cause of her "ailment".

This, if you're so committed to balanced research.

Also funny how she doesn't mention which vaccine she got (unless I missed it). It's a pretty important detail.

*mod edit*

 I have been hesitant about it because of how new it is but I just had open heart surgery for endocarditis in February so it was better for me to get the vaccination than to get COVID. Had no side effects from shot #1.

[matty_c]

Looked like she was a spastic ahem I mean cerebral paulsy my bad

[pugmaster]

So the 2021 version of this



Which ended with her getting caught playing with her dog in a park and saying she just randomly made a full recovery.

Come on man, what you don't realize is how devastating this whole ordeal was for her personal life.  Her fiance ended up leaving her over it.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Just got my moderna #2 two days ago. So far, it's just a sore arm. I stayed hydrated, plenty of gatorade and naked juice before and after. Stay safe out there folks!

[Frank]

And for cash. Since she's got a gofundme set up now. Going to take the cash, go silent for a week or two, then come back plugging some holistic shit that she's selling saying it cured her.

[Mouth]

Amazing that she managed to do her hair and makeup for the shot while shaking like that. Never seen a seizure look so hot.

"Dominique was rushed to the hospital after 7 days of suffering severe cramping in the legs, trouble walking, numbness/coldness and lightening like sensation in the legs."

I too was rushed to a hospital after having those symptoms for seven days.

[carlosthelizard]

Got my second dose two weeks ago (Astra Zeneca / Oxford) - so I guess I am in the clear now . . .

Huge psychological relief, even though I am rarely in large crowds or indoor spaces.

No sever reactions to report (just the normal arm pain and fatigue for a couple days).

One thing I noticed a few days after both doses was a 2-4 zits pop up random places on my body that were kinda gnarly; I never have those kind of skin issues.  Reading into it I found that skin reactions due to the auto-immune response are pretty common, and can actually be much worse (hives, itching, rash of large area of body).

While I understand the hesitancy to get vaccinated, it seems the choice is becoming to either contract the virus or try out the vaccine.

My decision was made pretty easily, as my family lives on the other side of the world and I haven't seen them in a couple years.

Shalom; stay safe.

Sweden here:

Got first Pfizer five minutes ago. Sitter here waiting for the side effects to kick in and kill me... Like the ex-junkie that I am..

Oh, I'm 34, so we're kind of slow...

Edit:

Four hours later: The site feels weird. I feel kind of weird, but ok. Probably paying way too much attention to subtle changes.

Day after: Damn, my shoulder, bro... Mind feels sluggish, but ok.

uk here, got 1st pfizer last friday, im assuming you had the 10/15 minute wait after too? that shit was anxiety inducing. ended up going skating shortly after, sore arm kicked in about 4/5 hours later but aside from that felt absolutely fine.

[Billy Bitchcakes]

wait, there's one called Bioshock? That's a baddass name

[Burt Ward]

Has anyone got, or know anyone that has Pericarditis after the Pfizer vaccine? I have it, and I'm freaking that it's gonna hang around or recur. Had a scan today and get results back on Monday.

[johnes]

I just got the first vaccine a couple days ago.

Edit update a few days later:
My arm was pretty sore and all my muscles felt really sore the night of my shot and the next day. My body is always sore but the first night I was more more sore than normal.

The next day I felt like I had no power at the gym.
I was a little tired after the shot and tired the day after.
That’s all the side effect I felt from the first one.

[JANUS]

I do not wish to offer you empty reassurances, but it is my understanding that tissue inflammation from vaccines are temporary, and due to an immune response. I would expect to recover shortly, and I would not anticipate recurrence. I would not engage in strenuous physical activity until you get the results back, though. That said, I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing a negative outcome, and I hope you recover swiftly and without complication.

Thanks Janus. I've heard similar things from a couple of sources in the last few hours, so that'll go a long way to keeping me calm before I get the results. Was a bit loathe to talk to anyone about it, let alone speak about it on a message board. I really don't wanna fuel the anti vax fire that's raging atm. It's pretty common to get it from covid by the looks, and I imagine that's a lot worse.

i was told pericarditis is something that can occur and to avoid it i should keep it very chill for about 4-5 days after my shot. i hope yours goes away quickly. just don't stress your pump out too much, you did the right thing getting checked up. everything janus said was spot on. try to keep a positive outlook so as not to stress your heart out further, cut down on coffee or other heart rate uppers, avoid alcohol and none to very light physical activity like light biking or walks(just laying around isn't good either).

Did we roast that guy falling for obvious internet misinformation or are we over it

[TheLurper]

Just got my second shot. Just walked in without an appointment and was done in less than an hour.

I'm rewarding myself with a greasy but super tasty hamburger from L'Hamburger. Their burgers are amazing but, sadly, their fries are pretty bad.

So far my arm is a bit sore but I'm hoping I can dodge any significant symptoms again.

Stoked to be done with this shit. However, I worry the assholes who aren't getting vaccinated are going to drag this shit out as the delta strain spreads and their bullshit creates a risk of the virus mutating again.




Update: Didn't sleep well last night. Felt normal, but tired this morning, felt crummy for about three hours this afternoon (headache and slight body aches), went our for a beer and a movie this evening and I feel pretty normal now. Hoping to sleep soundly tonight.

First shot was a breeze and the second wasn't so bad. No major side effects. Worse than a tetanus shot for sure but overall, it was pretty easy. I was way more nervous about the second shot than I should have been.
