What the Covid 19 vaccine side effects feels like

Yes, the nurse making the video was in tears and she took her mask off and showed everyone. It was bad. Then there were articles poopooing her experience. Who knows for sure, but I believed her. Maybe I am naive too ;)
I seen that video and it's hreatbreaking.

All I wanted to do was give that poor girl a hug and hold her.
 

My, such anger and defensiveness over a difference of opinion. My opinion and experience follow the science, nothing more, nothing less. As for personal attacks, “mainly it’s hard to look at your own faults before you try to look at others.” Hmmm.
Really? That is what you read in this? Funny but I didn't feel that way at all towards you. I felt you might be open to someone else's opinion. I don't think you've seen me angry or defensive Shalimar, I hope not. Because I have been both and I work hard at keeping those feelings, that can turn into actions (words) out of my life. I admit I do fail at times, especially just when I'm starting to think I'm perfect ;)

I hear you, my sister sent it to me and was asking what she should do about the vaccine. I was honest and said I believed the gal but that's all I could say. My sis is 10 years older than I and has osteoarthritis. I just told her what I would tell anyone, you have to decide that for yourself sis. I don't know what is good for someone else. I have a hard enough time deciding what's good for me.

That's all we can do is extend to others advice, that we deem as being the best or most right at the time.
 
Difficult for some of us not to judge. Unless they remain at home, those who prefer not to be vaccinated are at greater risk of contracting Covid, and passing it on to others. To date, I have said heartbreaking goodbyes via telephone to nine of my vets, all of whom have died. Immune systems compromised by Service injuries. There will be more. Are we not our brother’s keeper?
When someone's immune system is severely compromised, they can succumb to anything. Including a vaccine which works by stressing the immune system. As with any drug/vaccine/medical test or procedure, it's a matter of personal choice. Nothing whatsoever to do with responsibility or protecting others.
Many people who try to convince others to get a vaccine are seeking confidence in their decision to get it - Confidence in numbers.
And if people who choose the vaccine had confidence in it, it wouldn't matter to them if others didn't choose to get it, since they would be protected.
We see the same mindset in other health issues - People who choose to have colonoscopies & other medical tests often try to convince others to have them. They're looking for validation for their decision.

Hmmm, never have been one to need validation from others in order to make my decisions.

Shalimar, you are reading "Anger" into a post where no anger exists. What does exist is a difference of opinion - a difference you are not able to accept.

If that were true, you would have NO reason to convince others to get a vaccine, since you would be protected by your vaccine, along with everyone else you convinced to get a vaccine.

I like to get people's feedback on important decisions I have to make. I also pray to God to show me the way He would have me go. But it's one reason I need people in my life. I may not like what they have to say, but I want to be open to it as I know I don't know everything.

I have no issue with different opinions, only snarky remarks. Most Canadians value courtesy.

What interesting mindset you have, reading minds? Lol. Not everyone thinks as you do.

Ya got that right. NO ONE can snark like I can. Thank you for the compliment. 😊
 
Me no take. Lack of evidence showing long-term effects is bothersome. Great quick-fix for those in the trenches, but for the rest of us... hmm.
quick-fix is something I also look at. I read most vaccines take years to develop, this one, a year, less than a year I think?? More will be revealed and I'm for waiting for the "more" ;)

Yes. It takes 10-15 years to develop a vaccine:
Vaccine development is a long, complex process, often lasting 10-15 years and involving a combination of public and private involvement. The current system ...

Hmm. Lasik eye surgery is supposed to be an instant fix. Why is it that my eye doctor and his associates all wear glasses?
I've had several optometrists & a couple of eye doctors try to convince me to have Lasik. They were all very disappointed when I said, "I'd like to research it first; I have a dry eye problem & it might not be a good idea." At the time, it was $3,000.00 per eye. Could that have had something to do with their disappointment?
I found that the procedure can exacerbate a dry eye problem & also has the risk of making the eyes too sensitive to light & some people have had to wear sunglasses constantly, even indoors. When I mentioned that to one eye doctor, he said, "Oh.....don't worry; those problems are very rare, besides, we can do another surgery for your dry eyes."
I also found that as we age, more surgeries are needed to maintain good vision.
 
i have a lengthy list of medication allergies one of which is penicillin. i was fine. the most bothersome side effect was a sore arm. i was a little more tired than normal and i was a little nauseated. that was it. i will gladly keep you informed in january when i get the second dose if you girls want me to. :)

in the vaccine thread that remy posted i posted the ingredients for both if you girls are interested.
I have lots of medication allergies including penicillin, I am getting vaccinated
 
God gave me my freedom of choice, and I choose not to get a vaccine. Everyone else can do what they like, but you that are getting the vaccine best not be judging those that decide against it. No one knows how it will effect each individual, no one, and don't give me some poll or numbers to make it "only" right to have the vaccine.
I think if you don’t want to get the vaccine, then don’t get it. Someone else can have yours. But I also think that anyone who is offered the vaccine and refuses it should not receive medical treatment when they get COVID-19.

Nothing against you personally, or anyone else but getting treatment and a hospital bed for COVID-19 is not an entitlement that people who refuse the vaccine are entitled too, IMO.

Uh, well, OK. Then it would also be fair to refuse medical treatment to anyone who took the vaccine & got sick from it.
Or who took the vaccine & got Covid, anyway, like that nurse.
 
Every time you try to convince others to make the same decisions you make, you are seeking validation.
That’s not true and you know I like you @win231. Caring people who believe it is life saving to take the vaccine, and people, like me, who like you, want you to take the vaccine in order to have you around as long as possible. I would HATE, hate for you, or anyone else, to get Covid.

I am heartbroken at all the deaths. I am heartbroken that my son, my daughter, my SIL, and my great granddaughter all had COVID, and grateful that they are still alive.

I just want it to stop, I need no validation for that, I just want everyone alive and well. Please God in your mercy, make it stop.
