Are you going to.....

So far the symptoms from the shot sound worse than the actual flu/virus that our family dealt with recently. YMMV

 

[MNVikingsGuy]

For many years I have dutifully gotten a flu shot that made me feel like crap for 24-36 hours for an illness that would have just been an inconvenience for me, because each year my doc reminds me it’s not for me, it’s for my elderly mother and the other seniors in our community- if I don’t get it, I can’t pass it on. I will get this one too for the same reason.

Lol, sure hope it lasts more than 4 hours.

In my case, 15 minutes of 'fame' is plenty......

Ahhh, I was talking about the vaccine but giddy up cowboy.

It seems that there have been less adverse reactions from the Moderna vaccine.

 

[Daren Todd]

Wife got the vaccine today. She had a small reaction to the Moderna vaccine. Upset tummy and uncontrollable belching for about an hour. Figures she probably had a small allergy to an ingredient in it.

It was a surprisingly small amount of the vaccine (1/2tps) that you receive.

 

[SidecarFlip]

71,000 vaccinated her (both injections) as of yesterday and no adverse reactions.

I heard that a nurse up in Alaska got her shot and it is a good thing she was at work because she was rushed to the ER after going into anaphylactic shock so maybe it aint all rainbows and sunshine

I have been reading about several allergic reactions to the vaccine too. There is some speculation that one ingredient called ethylene glycol is the culprit.

Yup that's healthy No wonder people are having reactions.

Ethylene Glycol | NIOSH | CDC

Ethylene glycol (HOCH₂CH₂OH) is a colorless, syrupy liquid. It can harm the eyes, skin, kidneys, and respiratory system. Ethylene glycol can cause death if swallowed. Workers may be harmed from exposure to ethylene glycol. The level of exposure depends upon the dose, duration, and work being done.

PEG poly ethylene glycol. Look at your shampoo and toothpaste labels. They are a common ingredient.

But you don't eat it.

They are recommending that if you have the kind of severe allergies that require you to carry an epi pen, e.g. for bee stings, that you not take the Moderna or Pfizer vaccination. They both use polyethylene glycol compounds as carriers for the active component. The Astra Zeneca vaccine is different, and so wouldn’t have that allergic profile. All vaccines have that potential. Ever been asked if you are allergic to eggs before getting a shot? Same problem. Not the active ingredient but what it is suspended in or grown in.

The Astra Zeneca vaccine uses aborted baby cells. That is a real choice, right?

Eggs is the reason why my wife can't take the flu vaccine.

so, is there a statute of limitations on doing the wrong thing?

maybe we should start calling you stinky.

As I posted earlier, I will wait and see what my doctor recommends because of the anaphylactic reaction I have had in the past to injection. I hope that I get the green light. I have kept up on all my recommended vaccines and I'm a proponent of vaccines because they have proven very beneficial to society as a whole.

I do not like that employers get to dictate health decisions. I think those decisions should be left to the individual and his/her medical professional.

I fully understand the mistrust in the government and their involvement. The Tuskegee Study is one that comes to mind that brings distrust to the government.

Yet, as another poster pointed out, by this summer there is a good chance that things will becoming to an end and returning to normal. Historically, pandemics on average last 18-24 months. This summer we will be hitting the 18 month mark so there is a good chance if we do nothing, we will be seeing the pandemic coming to an end anyway.
