janice6 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Wife got her first shot a week ago. I was disappointed when the Nurse was telling her about all the muscle pain she would have and potential other "effects". In the Navy I was told that for shots that ached awful afterwards, do work and use that arm as much as possible and it would make the reaction go away very quickly. They were right! She then asked me if I had mine too. I told her I lived with my wife and she was a year older than me, so the choices for Immunization was going by age and I didn't qualify yet even if we lived together. I bet "Dr." Jill Biden figured out how that would work.......... So, I haven't had one yet and my wife is fretting till I get one. I will, but only for her. Maybe she thinks I will have a severe reaction............ I donno if my life insurance is enough to tempt her. But I will only do it for her! ADDED: Wife had no immediate reaction.

Maccabeus Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm too young and non-essential. I know at least a couple dozen who've had 1 or both shots. No problems for any of them. I will probably get it. I may be able to qualify early when they open it for teachers since I help out at my church's preschool. Even just getting one shot will have you at 92% after two weeks of immunity building according to the data John Campbell reported on his YT channel yesterday. Data out of Israel says the same. These may have been rushed, but millions of doses have already been given and the data coming in says they are effective and safe (in the short term, at least, since that's all we can know). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a headache in the p.m. and was a little achy but by the next day felt fine. I wonder how Jack would have responded to chinavirus. Assuming full health of course. His videos would be epic. https://youtube.com/user/gioajack Edited February 24, 2021 by MO Fugga 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 i have not as of yet, i Probably will get it. my feeling is that there are a ton of people who are waiting to get it here who are way more likely to actually Die from the China Plague then i am. the plan was to shoot up those with comorbidities and the Elderly and those with Immunity Issues First, i`m sticking to that plan. unless the .Gov mandates it, then i will not be getting it on Principal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bodies are wonderfully made, and remember the real ass-beatings better, as well. In addition to building immunoglobulin antibodies, we also have cells that remember what attacked us in the past. So even if the antibodies start to fade over time, the grandpa cells tell the grandkid cells about the time they got their asses beat. Magnificent answer!

Dric902 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The doc says we turned a corner last night. The blood clots are gone, my O2 levels are back so the oxygen tent can go. lots of “hitches” in my breathing, but I’m breathing 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinD Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Both Wife and I had both shots. 1st shot no effects afterwards, 2nd shot both of us had dull headache and felt "airheaded" for lack of a better definition! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm part of the "grumpy old retired guys who refuse to take the (gummint provided) vaccines" control group. So far it has about a 98% survival rate. BTW, I was listening to NPR as I drove to the dump this morning. I listen to them just to see what the Dims are propagandizing. They were reporting on a new vaccine and said it has "significantly fewer" "COVID related deaths". I had to wonder if, when we're trying to spread fear about the ChinaVirus we include every death from cancer, heart disease, etc. if someone has the virus, then when we're evaluating a new vaccine all we have to do is consider such cases as not directly attributable to the virus, and voila, we have an effective vaccine! Or, as my esteemed colleague Professor Peter Waylen once commented, "The answers we get are often dependent upon the questions we ask." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfost11 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 My wife is a nurse practitioner and she's had both of the Moderna shots. She said she had a mild headache after the first. She was already scheduled off the day after her 2nd one. She got up at 8 am to put one of the kids on the bus, then was on the couch with no energy to get off of it until 11:30 that night. She was also slightly swollen and sore from the side of her neck to the shoulder she received the injection in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, think 2% of grumpy old retired guys who contract the ChinaVirus. That's a lot smaller (and more exclusive) pool of candidates.

Historian Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 My parents are in their early to mid 80s got their second today. I feel a bit better about them. Lost an aunt and a cousin to this nightmare. Working in emergency services....it's be ugly. Locally we've not lost an officer. But it's been close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted February 24, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2021 I made the mistake of falling asleep on the shoulder where I got the injection. It woke me up a couple of hours later and it wasn't happy with me. My shoulder hurt like hell. It took a couple of hours to get back to sleep. So, even if you don't have much (or any) injection site pain, I'd be careful about sleeping on that shoulder, the night of the injection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheygriz Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 hate to sound unkind, but I have ZERO sympathy for anyone who gets the virus after refusing the vaccine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
