What's causing rare allergic reactions to Pfizer's vaccine

"Every medication contains chemical or biological ingredients. So what? Providing such a list accomplishes absolutely nothing except boosting fears in those who are already illogically fearful."

Providing a list is essential, people need to know if there might be an ingredient they are allergic to.

Scientists can and do make mistakes, they are human not Gods.

There is nothing wrong with questioning this vaccine as it was rushed. Yes it seems safe right now unless you have a severe allergy to one of its ingredients, and remember the second dose hasn't been administered yet, so until that happens we really have no clear idea if its safety.

"fears in those who are already illogically fearful."

Who are you to decide who is, or isn't illogical?
That's just your opinion, others have their opinions.

Others may feel you have an illogical need to push others to agree with you.

Liberty, LOL! And who would just casually take a substance that they already know they are allergic to anyway?

That's like the canned phone messages you get when you call your doctor, before someone actually comes on the line: "If this is a medical emergency, call 911." Like you didn't know that?

Becky, who am I? Well, for starters, I am a person on this forum with the perfect right to call something illogical if I see it that way. Example: A forum member with a lifelong phobia about taking an aspirin (they once heard a story, etc.) tells us that it's a true fact, concealed by the evil scientists who work for Bayer, that some people have been known to grow two heads from the use of aspirin. If we think that's illogical, that's just our opinion on the subject. The people in the "two-head" camp have an equal right to their opinions. And who am I to argue with them?
 

"Contraindications from other meds, etc. could also be a driver."

Valid point, Liberty. And that is part of their testing process. Their volunteers are vetted for all kinds of things, including the use of other meds.

Antifreeze

There is no antifreeze in vaccines. A single component of antifreeze – polyethylene glycol – is used to inactivate the flu virus in one brand of that vaccine; it is also used in the purification of certain vaccines. This chemical is also widely and safely used in personal care products, such as skin creams and toothpaste.

As a person who has reacted to PEG, that stuff is toxic! Yes it is used in lots of products; hence, I read labels and avoid those products. PEG intolerance/allergy is serious business. It is a cousin to ethylene glycol, close enough for me; the CO/CO2 comparison is not good enough to justify it as okay. As a nurse (I work with lots of patients w/GI issues), I see lots of patients who drink PEG daily to stay regular; eventually, their bowels just shut down and they get obstructed. I advise them to eat raw celery daily (or in a smoothie with apples - all organic) which will do the trick while arming the system with nutrients. Celery is excellent for blood pressure as well.

Great post. 👍

As with most things, the dose makes the poison. Pure drinking water can be deadly if over consumed.

Therefore, injecting poison is fine - because drinking pure water is fine! 🤪
Even if the poison kills you, it builds up your immunity, so you won't die from imaginary things! 🤔

No, none of that makes any sense to me.
What strange twisted thinking some people insist on doing to try and convince themselves.
 
The severity of an allergic reaction depends on an individual's sensitivity to an ingredient; not how toxic it is.
Years ago, an optometrist suggested I try contact lenses. They were OK - for a week. Then I woke up one morning with both eyes dark red - like watermelon. I rushed to an eye doctor in a panic. He explained that "Thimerosal" is a preservative in the cleaning & wetting solution & it "May" cause a reaction in some people, but it's unlikely because it is present in such tiny concentrations.
Since I never heard of Thimerosal, I looked it up. It's Mercury. It is cheap. And toxic. For years, dentists used silver fillings - containing Mercury. And they knew how harmful it was - especially in the mouth, where fillings degrade over time & leak Mercury into the bloodstream.

"Thimerosal is a mercury-containing organic compound (an organomercurial). Since the 1930s, it has been widely used as a preservative in a number of biological and drug products, including many vaccines, to help prevent potentially life threatening contamination with harmful microbes."
And allergic reactions to Mercury are not rare - as my first doctor said they were.

Another eye doctor I saw said "Many people are more sensitive to certain ingredients, so their reaction can be much more serious."

So.....if you want to hear me laugh at you, criticize my decision to avoid any vaccine or drug I consider unnecessary or unsafe.
 
Ethylene Glycol is used in many different types of paints, fuels and other petroleum based matters. I remember from back in chemistry class, we used it as an additive with other chemicals during experiments. Just can’t recall which ones.
