Vaccine List

[ronkeen]

I had the Pfizer. Side effects were clearly evident and lasted 5 days.

Headaches - felt like a too tight crash helmet (3 occasions)
Lightheadedness / Dizziness (1 occasion, after 2 days)
Visual migraine (4 occasions in 5 days - I haven't had 4 of them in the last 2 years).

Sore arm wasn't a side effect, but expected.

I'd have it again (Pfizer), in the blink of an eye.

Is the government paying you to experiment on you. Oh wait yes.

it seems that the places where they can store the vaccine at -70 degrees like hospitals they are giving pfizer vaccine
and everyone else is getting oxford astrazeneca.

Do me a favour, please? Read the Science - it has been rigorously tested. If you don't believe in it, spend a day in your local Primary Care hospital.

If you think that it is some government conspiracy, then I have no words. Who is benefiting from the pandemic?

Did you report the side effects? There's the yellow card system that anyone can use to report medicine side effects. It's well worth doing as it all helps towards building up information about how people react.

Yellow Card Scheme - MHRA

No, GPs are doing it too. One of our local ones is dishing it out. A friend got given her pfizer jab by a dentist.

I did have a look at the that, but when I asked my GP practice the GP didn't offer any counsel.

Fill a yellow card in yourself. You have sufficient education if you can write on here.

While GPs and other healthcare staff are suppose to do it they don't have the time.

Is it not the case that some "flu like" symptoms after the jab are simply indicative of a strong immune response? i.e. actually a good sign that something is happening to your immune system post-jab, and entirely to be expected. I wouldn't have thought the medics would be that interested in side-effects like these, moreso in things like an unexpected allergic reaction.

They are after what data they can get. It is useful to know how common these are.

Yes, my mum was a school nurse in the past and gave hundreds of vaccines. Most of the symptoms you get when you have an infection (viral or microbe) are actually caused by the immune response. Inflammation itself is caused by immune response. The raising of temperature makes you feel crap, but it is to slow down replication of the infective invaders as they are mostly 'tuned' to normal body temperature. Sometimes though it goes out of control as in the severe covid cases, the immune response causes irreparable inflammation in the lungs and that is what does for you.

Even with the SA variant the vaccine gives your immune system a head start so it can defeat the virus without resorting to a Cytokine storm, hence preventing severe illness.
