Second Pfizer tomorrow. Nothing much more to add. But I’m damn stoked about it.
Covid shot... Experience
- Thread starter TortElvisII
- Start date
You don't have to request it. They will be sure you get it. In addition, no one will give two ***** if you hold your nose, cover your ears, cry or hold your breath until you turn purple. Just walk in, be polite to the nice people helping you, get your shot and leave without being a drama queen.
They changed the cycle rate because of it, but should've and DID in fact know that the paper upon which they based the testing protocol was fatally flawed to begin with.
The protocol paper wasn't peer-reviewed before it was adopted. When the paper was peer reviewed, the results were given to all of the major organizations and they completely ignored it.
I can't find the direct link to the paper and the review, but it's out there. Here is a third-hand article that may contain links to the rest.
Best cycle rate for 100% true positives is 17. Above 17 it drops dramatically. At a cycle rate of 33 the false positivity rate is 80%. Beyond 34 the false positivity rate approaches 100%.
WHO AND CDC recommended 35-40 cycles and didn't retract that until January 20th.
Done posting for the night. Have a good night, y'all and hope you and yours stay healthy.

Of course I will be polite to the nice people helping me. I won't be a drama queen when I get my shot, but I will absolutely will be one on this message board and I won't say I'm sorry. I still fail to understand why I should take some ******** vaccine over some ******** disease that I have a ZERO chance of catching in a million years, let alone having symptoms if I somehow did catch it. I further fail to comprehend these ridiculous and unconstitutional restrictions. This Corona thing is the silliest thing I've ever heard of.
Spot on. I think science has proven this hoax isn't the least bit contagious.
I knew a 46 year old, 5'10", maybe 180, no underlying health conditions, that died. It affected people so differently. For some, this was incredible how bad it affected them. I know a guy that had multiple heart attacks, 6'1", 260 and is about 70, he thought he had the sniffles.

Wed 7:30 AM Got the shot.
Wed 2:30 PM- Felt really tire and a mildly sore arm.
Thursday- Perfectly Fine.
Friday- Pure exhaustion and struggled to get up.
Saturday- Felt Fine but ran a 100.9 temp. Took tylenol and it went back down.
Sunday- Felt Fine but ran a 100.3 temp. Took tylenol and it went back down.
Monday- Felt fine but ran a 100.6 temp. Took tylenol and it went back down.
Tuesday- Felt perfectly fine, went to Asheville for a few days.
Second Shot- No follow up symptoms whatsoever.
I half wonder if I just didn't contract Covid after the first shot by being out and about. They say symptoms are generally in the first 24 hours. Mine were, then I had Thursday where I felt fine. about 60 hours later is when I began to feel bad and experiencing Covid symptoms. They lasted about 4 days and then I was fine. I never bothered going to get tested. I tested 3 times back in the fall/winter hoping I'd get it so I could get 2 weeks paid time off without using any of my leave. No luck though.

In WSJ today:
"Thousands of people recently streamed into an arena in Lexington, Ky., to receive Covid-19 vaccines, but it wasn’t a hospital or health company managing the event. It was Kroger Co. KR 1.59% , the biggest U.S. supermarket chain.
The Cincinnati-based company, which put up signage around the arena, has administered about 28,250 doses at the mass-vaccination site since February. Kroger hopes to boost its health business through its pandemic efforts. It aims to deliver millions of vaccinations to people nationwide and create more repeat customers for its pharmacies and supermarket offerings."
Was this Rupp or Kroger Field? Id' guess latter given the name.

I would rather listen to AC/DC Who Made Who.
Getting my second shot next Thursday. I’ll report what happens. My cousin is a doctor and recommended start taking Tylenol, Advil, or Motrin after the shot to get a jump on possible side effects like fever, aches, chills, etc.

I know I'm going to be called a whiny ***** and all that but I do have one complaint. Since I'm going to have to show compliance (which I know I will) why couldn't they make the vaccine cards wallet size?
The virus itself isn't bullsht, but it is way less than a 1% chance of getting it, and dying from it. If you DO get it, I hope your immune system handles it better than a few I've known who did. The restrictions on being able to treat with HCQ have been removed in KY, so that's good news, but docs are still reluctant to prescribe it in spite of the reversal by the med industry as to its effectiveness.
The "vaccines" are a different story. 1900 dead just in the US from the vaccines. Over 30,000 vaccine adverse reaction events in the first month of the shots alone. It can't be mistaken for medicine, and even the inserts don't claim that the shots guarantee any protection from the virus. Death listed as a possible side effect.
People have to want to know for them to hear any of this, though.
Not my favorite by them, but I'm right there with you.
I got some cardstock from the office and reduced it to make it wallet size. I I00% agree because when I tried to put in my wallet it was way too big.

Got my first Pfizer yesterday, Friday. Wife isn’t eligible yet, but she gets up today, Saturday, sick and just got tested and is Positive.
Not sure what to expect as they quiz you with several ??? about if you have symptoms, have Covid, or been exposed.
Any ideas if this is big problem? I feel fine btw.

My arm didn't hurt either but I felt bad about 12 hours and it didn't start until 24 hours after the shot.
This was completely opposite of the 1st shot and with milder symptoms.
I got my first dose of Moderna Friday. I've felt really rough, just really tired and a dull headache. Went to be bed at 700 Friday night and slept till 615 Saturday morning. Felt rough Saturday, but not what I'd call sick. So far this morning, it seems to be better. Sure as hell beats getting put on a ventilator.
Covid-19 truly is like a box of chocolates. My SIL has MS. Her husband was infected by his coworker and tested positive. She never tested positive and he never had more than a mild cold.
The lady who lived across the street from us went from fine to sick to dead in a span of less than 2 weeks.
Another neighbor spent over 3 months in the hospital and circled the drain multiple times before recovering. He'd been out of the hospital about 2 weeks when I finally saw him. He looked like he'd been in a concentration camp.
All told, through work contacts, friends and family, I've known probably close to 100 people who tested positive. Most were fine, with no or very mild symptoms. Others had a tough go of it. Not hospitalized, but put on their *** for 2-3 weeks by it. Seventeen were hospitalized and 11 of those didn't make it. The ages for them ranged from 53 - 94.
Shedding is something some of the docs at the hospital were talking about recently. They're concerned about that relative to these shots. Your body begins making cells with the spike protein after the (Pfizer and Mdrna) shots... they docs were saying "isn't that just a coronavirus?" None of them had an answer so they talked about something else
Sorry, but what are you talking about for size? The paperboard card I got - which has two stickers printed with the lots of the Moderna vaccine I received & which doesn't have my name - is about 2" x 4".
I know two folks who had the virus & got pretty sick that also got both shots a few weeks after their illness went away.
I want it to be the size of a credit card so it fits in a wallet.
Heck, mine was too big as well. I had my wife just put mine in her purse with hers. We both got our vaccine at the same time.
Yes, she got the Pfizer. Her husband also got the Pfizer last week since he was past his window with his last positive test in md December. That really gave us a scare when he got it, what with him having COPD and Barbra having MS. Fourteen members of my wife's family scattered through Tennessee and North Carolina had it. None of them had more than mild symptoms though.
Son in-law got his 1st Moderna shot yesterday. Daughter said he's laid around all day today. So, nothing unusual for him...
Had the first Pfizer shot on Mar 11. Then, found out three days later I had been exposed to COVID around the 10th or 11th. Sure enough, tested positive on the 15th, and was laid up for about a week or so with mild symptoms....moderate fatigue and a day or low grade fevering. I thought I had a reaction to the first shot, but as it turns out, it was probably the COVID symptoms. Trying to find out from my doctor if he thinks I should proceed with the 2nd dose on Apr 1, but not much in the way of a response yet.
Day after the second Pfizer a couple days ago had me feeling vaguely like I do when I’m JUST coming down with the flu. Without the “well son of an ******* I’m getting the flu” anxiety. A little Florida poolside hot tub therapy and a good night’s sleep and all was well.
Ya got me. Same card design I have. Memory is terrible.
