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.

Thanks PJ

Hubby's still blahhh. As sick as he was all weekend I didn't expect it to go right away. Low energy, poor apitite. Got him some Pedialyte this morning, and instant breakfast drinks.

Just between us, he is starting to get on my nerves. 😂

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.

Ugh, hubby is his usually sick with the vaccine. I was up, on and off all night. Covering him with blankets, uncovering him.

He just had a physical, and I totally forgot to have him ask the doctor about his fever issues. It's just so normal for us, we forget this isn't everyones normal.

Hubby got his today, will see how it goes. He doesn't do great with any vaccine, because of is undiagnosed whatever, since his time in the service, (possible malaria). He also doesn't do well will viruses, so we will see. He hasn't had one since the booster.

I'm guessing it's going to be a quite weekend.

I don't think my non vaccinated older brother, will ever be the same health wise after covid 2 years ago.

Which is a good point FF had that stress causes cancer and I think the extreme stress we all experienced my have also increased cancer

I know a lot of people that said the first vaccine gave them shingles, was it the vaccine or the stress we were experiencing. My guess on the shingles, was the stress

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.

Watched a documentary on plastics the other day, and how we have become a disposable society.

It made me sick to watch. Business cutting up pallets of luggage, so people will by newer better .

Who knows, why or what is causing the uptick, some say it's them being brought up on processed foods, some say the vaccine, ect....

It's sad , that's all I know.

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.

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.

Eileen, that is actually why the vaccine shouldnt be judged.

My Dad died after a server cold at the very beginning,of the pandemic , after brother brought home a cold from Italy. Had a cold which lead to TIAs

It's a roll of the dice these days, and we all should educate are selves and do what is best for us

I am feeling much better today! 🤗

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.
