SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

For those still unaware about how bad things in India have been and the extent of underreporting in India . This is just one state in India

I'm getting dose one of the moderna jab next week.
Haven't heard of anyone getting that one

It's almost identical to Pfizer.

I got a very sore arm the following day and 2 days later a small rash. A little bit of tiredness but I still managed to play football the day after. I've been told dose 2 will be a different story.

Both mRNA vaccines report a slightly higher incidence of side effects after the second shot but not neccesarily more severe.

For what it is worth my son had Pfizer and got very minor symptoms both times.

Minor side effects are actually a very good sign that your body is mounting an immune response.

What about Satan having a party inside your body after the 2nd one? Is that not a good sign too!
 
it'll be worth it just to be vaccinated.

Ill have to go up to my brothers then and show him I am still alive

I am going to Navan for it, my wife got hers in Blanch. Hate that place, but all ran very well I hear
 
Why are Ireland not reporting deaths anymore?

Seems they just stopped reporting on fatalities.

Is it the hack?

My wife is now in isolation following one of her colleagues testing positive , exactly a day after losing her fight with her bosses to continue to work from home! They were masked up and largely social distancing for the one day they were together and she (and I ) have had negative lateral flow tests so hopefully we’ll be ok. We’ve both also had one jab so there’s some protection there too at least. My work as opposed to hers are overly cautious and they’ve sent me home too and I’m not to return until we both have a negative PCR.

I know two other people that also got told to isolate today so that shows how prevalent it is again in the UK. Stay safe people.

This is what I hate about companies, reactive rather than proactive. Its already too late to start sending people home, its been in the work place and spread in the work place. Utter cnuts

Yep! They got people back in, then one was positive so six more had to be sent home to isolate due to desk local , then they apparently sent an email round saying “this is a stark reminder to keep to social distancing and hand hygiene!!” Erm no, it’s a reminder that you’ve shat the bed because working from home was going fine for my partner and her team.
If I end up getting Covid from these idiots I’m
In two minds to take an infected dump in an envelope and post it through the Md’s letterbox.

I would have no problem contacting them if I was in your shoes.

Just had my second AZ jab. I've read the side effects are less common the second time around.

Can anyone who's had it confirm this?
Click to expand...
I read that 99% of the blood clot cases from AZ were from the first dose, so essentially the risk is 7.92 per million to get a blood clot from dose one and 0.08 per million (or one in 12.5 million) from dose 2 given a total risk of 8/1000000

I'd truly have to be unlucky!

30 hours on and zero side effects so far.

Thanks for the info

As for the other side effects like fever and fatigue they should be worse following a second dose since the immune response is stronger from a booster shot.
 
Had my first jab, Pfizer, and I threw up all in my face mask at the vaccination centre. Felt really unwell and thought I was going to collapse but I felt much better after being sick.Weirdly there were two other people there who had that jab who had bad reactions too; one of the guys had to be laid on the floor. Just hope he's alright and I hope I'm alright now.

Did they advise you not to get the second jab?
 
aaaaaand a second person at my partners work has tested positive. Fingers crossed for us, guys!

No not at all, just call 111 if I have any problems. They did keep an eye on me for half an hour after but the whole experience felt a bit odd what with two other people feeling bad too. They told me that people react differently but having my eye sight go really blurry before I was sick was scary as hell. Thought I was going to blackout.

Feel fine now although the football incident didn't exactly help.

Do you react similarly to having blood tests taken, seeing blood or anything like that? Sounds like a vasovagal reaction which is harmless (unless you faint, fall over and hit your head)

I feared that would be me, as I have done that in the past following painkiller jabs at the dentist, but it was absolutely fine. The people there did say that lots of people just have that reaction to an injection of any kind.

How are you doing now?

No, although I was sick in pretty much the exact same way twenty years ago as a kid when having a meningitis jab. I told this to the people doing my jab and they were fine with it.

Feeling fine now thanks, apart from a dull ache in my arm which sounds very common. I just found the experience weird that two other people had bad reactions as well as me. Felt a bit surreal seeing a big healthy-looking guy laid on the floor after having his jab. He seemed to be a bit better as I was leaving though so I'm sure he's ok.

Which industry?

I thought firms were becoming a bit more open-minded.

Silly idea. Why waste a holiday when you can just phone in sick? I'm going to make sure the day after falls on a work day!

My second falls on a Thursday. My boss is definitely going to think I’m taking the piss if I take a Friday off sick, but I know everyone else has been doing it.

What's so special about a Friday? Especially nowadays, it's not like you'll be suspected of going out clubbing!

I guess it’s just the day that most people would take off sick if they wanted a longer weekend. I wouldn’t unless I was actually sick anyway.

You don’t seriously expect us to watch a three hour video?

I dropped in after 15 minutes to get a feel for it and the bald bloke on the right was talking absolute nonsense (“all other vaccines stay in your shoulder, this is the only vaccine ever made that produces antigens which move around your body”) and lost the will to stick with them any longer.

EDIT: Little bit of digging reveals they’re touting snake oil like ivermectin and other unproven covid treatments and hence have a blatant anti-vax agenda. Best filed under “ignore”.

You can get a gist of it from the timestamps in the description and yeah it seems about as batshit as you'd expect.

I think all of these anecdotal points of evidence are due to a whole planet getting an injection at once, and lots of people witnessing each other at mass vaccination centres.

People get woozy after needles all the time, it’s just in a more private setting. If everyone gave blood, or took a flu shot, or A.N.Other vaccine we’d see similar results.

(The side effects, less so of course)
 
Is it true that Vallance said in the press conference yesterday that even some double-vaccinated people will still die from Covid?
