Covid vaccine side effects, wished I had stayed with the previous pharma which had mild side effects.

Had my annual Covid vaccine shot the previous Monday. Usually I stay with Pfizer but the pharmacy was out of that brand, so I figured the vaccines are all the same.

Nope, after the fact, not all the same. Oh how I wished I would have stayed with Pfizer as the side effect was only 24 hours of being so very tired. This time, with the other Pharma, I was tired for almost a week.. had trouble sleeping for 5 days... wasn't hungry... stomach wasn't a happy camper... and I was snarling at hubby. Hubby's side effects lasted 3 days.

So, if you plan to get a Covid vaccine, stay with the brand you have previously used, if the side effects were mild or no effects at all. And note if a love one you are caring for try to get the same brand.

Jwellsy, that is not regarded as a legitimate journal, nor are the editorial board members experts in the field. Also, the only vaccines where viral shedding is possible are live attenuated vaccines. COVID vaccines are not live attenuated vaccines.
You and others are free to believe whatever you want, but that doesn't make it fact. RFK is not a medical expert, so I really have no interest in his opinion on vaccines, nor the politicized opinions of Congress. He is against the polio vaccine. I got that in elementary school in the 1960s when we lined up to get the oral vaccine on a sugar cube. Parents were greatly relieved by the arrival of that vaccine. Thank God, because many people suffered and polio was a great scare. I have full use of all my limbs unlike many of those who contracted the disease before the vaccines were created.
Siiiggghhh,,,, I feel like we are going back to the dark ages. Opinion media and social media, and the Wild West of the internet where anyone can say whatever falsehood they want with no repercussions have destroyed this country and our democracy. We no longer have one. How I long for the days when real journalism still reigned. It truly was the " watchdog of democracy".
COVID vaccines were not brand new technology. Research leading to the vaccines was at least a decade or more in development in response to SARS and other viral threats. I hope this current attitude about vaccines doesn't prevent the development and use of vaccines for when the next pandemic rolls around.
As far as mass censorship uncovered by Congress- you mean the same governmental body who has been throttling research, cutting funding, trying to silence and going after scientists who are studying and publishing research on climate change so they can keep the oil money flowing. I would laugh at the irony and hypocrisy if the repercussions from that weren't so dire. As it is, I weep for future generations.

I would love to see a published double blind placebo study that proves mRNA shots are safe & effective. The couple that I've read that make those kinds of claims all kept reducing the study cohort to cull out every person that got sick.

Recent Capital Hill hearings confirmed there was mass censorship the first several years. Finally, scientific papers are slowly being allowed to be published.

RFK Jr's book, the Real Anthony Fauci has 8 single spaced pages of references, many of which are peer reviewed published papers.

Dr. Peter Breggin's book Covid19 & the Global Predators cites over 1100 references.

An interesting peer reviewed study was published last week on vax shedding influencing unvaxed menstrual cycles.

Ah yes indeed, follow the money.
Who financed the gain-of-function research?
Who owns the over 3000 covid related patents?
Who bragged on MSNBC about their 20:1 return on covid investments?
How did hospitals survive financially?

I just had pfizer covid vax and flu vax 4 days ago. I think this is my 5th covid. The first 3 were Moderna. Covid in the right arm flu in the left. Left breast got very sore and left elbow yesterday so that was on the flu vax side. Covid side didn't bother me except short term spot soreness. A little post nasal drip and stuffiness. Much better today. Still have pneumonia vax and shingles vaxes to go to get where doc wants me to be on vaccinations. I am late 60s.
I have not ever had covid to my knowledge despite my husband and inlaws all getting it last Christmas. I was the only one who didn't and I tested repeatedly because I really thought I would get it. All vaxxed and no one had severe case- more like a cold. Inlaws are 94 and 88 so was concerned for them especially but they fared well.
Last year I had not gotten the flu vax yet and got really sick with influenza type A in early mid November. Took tamiflu but still felt like I was going into pneumonia. Worked very hard at keeping stuff coughed out of bottom of left lung by using inverted positions and recommended cough positions plus drank a lot of liquid. Don't want that again! Put me out of commission for over 2 weeks, kept a pretty good fever for a week.
Everyone has to decide for themselves. We don't know the effects of a lot of things we do- microplastics in food and drink and cosmetics, pfas in everything and that is killing cattle in west Texas, food additives, inhaling cleaning chemicals, flame retardants on everything, pfas in teflon, chemicals in drinking water not to mention the air. I am really more concerned about some of those things personally but everyone has their own concerns.
There may be some correlation to blood clots with vaccines and certainly covid as I am reading about. Of course there is probably some correlation to being more sedentary and blood clots, too, which a lot of us were during early covid shutdowns. Time will tell on the vaccines, we just have to do the best we can with the information we have.
Also, that House report is of no interest to me whatsoever. I have no interest in what a bunch of politicians opinions are on the subject. Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency have become so polarized politically that they have ceased to function rationally or with any respect or empathy. Way too much money is at play in politics especially since Citizens United supreme court decision. If you want to know why something happens follow the money. I trust nothing that is said anymore plus these people are not experts in the fields of science or medicine.
I am much more interested in the data and facts from respected medical doctors and scientists who spend their lives and countless hours searching for answers. Any papers published in peer reviewed journals must be exactly that. Reviewed by their peers before acceptance for publication. Competing labs will try to replicate or disprove results which provides more information and support to findings or more questions to be answered. You can't just publish anything. It goes through rigorous review. More funding is needed for scientific research. Tax cuts have resulted in a loss of funding for basic scientific research which will affect Americans' health.

The House covid pandemic subcommittee has released it's final report.

Maybe we need some perspective. 1 week of being uncomfortable vs months in the hospital. 1 week of being uncomfortable vs years of medications to combat the long-term/Lifetime of after affects of Covid infection. 1 week of being uncomfortable vs weeks of being on a ventilator and not knowing if you'll survive. 1 week of being uncomfortable vs death.

Back when I had breast cancer, my surgeon said she was seeing an uptick due to "stress". This was back in 2009, as cellphones were becoming more popular (85%) and users becoming more stressed, like a small child always tugging at one's skirt.


I no longer use a cellphone, only for emergencies as phone booths have disappeared completely from the planet. Wow, it was like a huge weight was lifted off me putting aside that annoying piece of technology. I've even removed myself from certain website forums where people were always bickering and fighting. Whew, that was tech overload.

I and my oncologist know AN, and it has nothing to do with plastic but with spike proteins.

lealonnie1 Nov 24, 2024
Alva, you couldn't pay me to have another covid shot. Stage 4 cancer out of the blue and the odd way it presented itself is plenty of proof for me. All 3 shots were in my left arm, and that's where the melanoma showed up, and the subsequent tumor in my armpit, that metastasized to liver and bones/spine in short order.

AlvaDeer Nov 24, 2024
I actually consider myself one, Lea. A triple negative tumor left breast near axilla after total 7 covid injections. All were given in the left arm as right arm has fewer lymph nodes due to an old cancer from 38 years ago.
Question is, and is remains to be seen, is it just likely I make cancers (as a hobby) or was there a connection? My doctor has suggest that now I keep covid shots down to one a year, like a flu shot, for the duration, and switch arms.

There are more cancers in the young now and particularly young women 20s and 30s with uptick yearly of some 3% and of colon cancer (huge raise for the young, some in 20s, almost unheard of in past). No one knows why. So far they are saying diet, fats, plastics, anything but injections.
We do know that studies are being done, but these things are oft hard TO study.

Jwellsy check out this short video about the huge rise in unexpected cancers since the vaccines were rolled out.

The last time i had my covid vaccine 2 days later I had a mini stroke developed afib and now I have a pacemaker. Before that the only meds I was on was vitamins and a prolia shot 2 x yearly

Chotzie Nov 18, 2024
I had covid and flu at same time. Awful side effects for 2 days!

Sadinroanokeva Nov 17, 2024
Ever since by first booster {after the first two vaccines were developed} I still battle razor blade mouth…sores, raw gum line, burning in mouth…My dentist says he has seen this issue in other people….I would never try a covid vaccine again..Oral mouth issues was one of the little know long lasting side effects..I lose weight every time I get a new break out! UGH..

AlvaDeer Nov 16, 2024
I am opposite in that Moderna always makes me have side effects for two to three days. Did this time, as well. And Pfizer is great for me. So go figure; we are all different. It's not a lot, honestly, to live through on a scale 1-10 I can't give it more than a 3.

jwellsy Nov 16, 2024
That site's pretty funny.
Look at their list of least biased sites.
That site obviously has their own biased agenda to suppress opposing views.

If there happens to be someone here that speaks Japanese, I'm wondering if the researchers in this video actually say what the subtitles say or did someone monkey with/ fake the subtitles.

Peggy Sue, that's interesting anecdotal story there, but the connection between the shrinking lymphoma and the moderna vaccine is, I am certain ALL medical doctors have told you, doesn't exist. As a matter of fact some oncologists are exceptionally worried about the UPTICK in cancers since covid vacs are given with such frequency. There are many more and many younger colon and breast cancer victims. Breast cancer itself is going UP by 3% to 5% estimated yearly.
My own doctor told me, since I have mastectomy on right and take all injections (11 so far) in left arm that my covid vac now should be no more than once a year booster. That after I showed up with a new triple negative breast cancer near left axilla in left breast last February.

We don't KNOW yet what long term is on this stuff. My SIL in a study now regarding his getting a huge blood clot in his lung with no predisposing factors. They are saying long covid? Maybe? No idea.
Another friend in a Long Covid study as well.
We have to be careful out here. Do what we choose making our best guesses with our own docs but so far this IS guesswork.

Right now, unless to cull the herd of very old and very ill, covid is not appreciably killing anyone. Here and likely here to stay but greatly weakening. I wish all best of luck with their own choices. I am the last to say I know anything.
But one case of anything one way or another, means not much.

PeggySue2020 Nov 14, 2024
Mil got Moderna while she had stage 4 lymphoma. Soon afterward, her cancer began to shrink. Its been three years now that it’s been gone.

Just as one can’t say the vax exacerbated their cancer, nor can one say that in her case the vax cured it.

jwellsy Nov 2, 2024
Here's an interesting recent interview about long covid. I don't know how much is true. But it gave me some things to verify from other sources.

DH and I got both yesterday. Later went grocery shopping. Didn’t have to push cans from shelf to cart with our faces nor pick up bags of milk with our teeth.

It's a Canadian thing FF, just one of those little differences between us 😉

Cwillie, oh my gosh, it's been a half a century since I heard the word "eavestroughs". I like that word so much better than "gutters" :)

cwillie Oct 29, 2024
Left arm (covid) is sore, right arm (flu) less so. Otherwise I'm fine, I just came in from cleaning my eavestroughs.

cwillie Oct 28, 2024
Just got home from getting my covid and flu shots, one in each arm. Hope I don't regret going for the twofer.

JoAnn29 Oct 28, 2024
DH and I had no problem with Moderna. No fever no soreness, We had our initial 2 shots and the booster and thats it for us. We don't do flu shots either.

lealonnie1 Oct 28, 2024
The article I linked comes from the NIH. Google is not a reliable source of information AN, of course it's going to say that the vaccine does not cause cancer. Speak to the thousands of us poor slobs WITH cancer and see what we think about Google and other media sources and "fact checkers" banning free speech 😑 As long as the powers that be are pushing FOR vaccines, the truth will be hidden. Jwellsy is entitled to ask whatever question he'd like, imo.

Jwellsy, VAERS has only reported a miniscule amount of adverse side effects, in reality. Vaccinated folks I know have also gotten the virus multiple times, except my DH and I who have never had it. My DD has had it 5x. I have seen no upside to the shots myself, fwiw. Just a lot of real issues, deaths and cancers. We were forced to get the vaccines bc the Mayo Clinic would not give dh a liver transplant unless we did. Sad but true.

I've said my peace since I doubt FFs post was intended to start a discussion about whether the covid "vaccines" are a good or bad thing. We all already know they do not protect us from the virus, that much is certain.

jwellsy Oct 27, 2024
Google is programmed to give only one side of this and many other issues.

The insurance company actuaries around the world are tracking excess mortality rates very closely. Their data varies wildly compared to what Google will say.

Anyone can go to https://howbadismybatch.com and find out how many adverse side effects have been reported to the CDC's VAERS data base from other people that received the same batch numbers. Scroll down that page for a mountain of information. The embalmer testimonies on blood clots are very interesting.

The results of MRNA animal testing is well documented.

I've had a very different experience with the people I know. 8 vaccinated people I know have developed heart issues in the past 3 years. The vast majority of the people I know that came down sick were vaccinated and they came down with it multiple times. The unvaccinated people that I know that got it, got over it in just a couple of days.

I've been in close contact with several cases. But, I use a dilute povidone iodine nasal spray (sometimes twice a day) to kill these kind of things where they collect and breed.

I have several strong religious objections to these MRNA nanoparticle shots. So for me I see no upside, only risks to taking it.

It will be 14 days since my COVID Moderna vaccine and I still have brain fog. Antihistamines have helped somewhat. Could be just a coincidence. Hope so.
