https://nypost.com/2020/10/06/covid-19-vaccine-trial-participants-report-aches-fevers-and-chills/ Fevers, chills, headaches and muscle pain to the point of needing to take a day off. Not looking forward to it. I get sick from a regular flu shot so this is probably going to kick my ass.
Pussy. Typical, he was a left wing killing machine the other day, now, I'm sore in my tosesies and I have a sniff sniff.
Hard to tell just yet. One of the purposes of the drug trials is to determine dosage levels. ie. To determine the lowest dose to be effective, and the highest dose that can be administered without adverse side effects. It is doubtful that at this stage either the administering physician or patient know what dosage they have received because most likely it is a double blind trial study. Some of the vaccine researchers (there are about 15-20 in progress) and covid related med researchers have found side effects in the highest doses but have also found that they get the same or similar results from lower doses so they focus on and ask for review/approval at a lower/the appropriate dose. Most of the prescription and otc meds available on the market have significant downsides above the recommended dose but still have good results or some results within the approved range. So, I think we have to wait to see what dosage level each pharm company asks for approval for in their standard-issue vaccine, and what the safety profile for that dosage is. Versus higher levels that are more problematic. me thinks. I won't digress too much, but for reflection, there is the thought that if one is worried about having a severe reaction to antibodies or antigens that are analogous to covid (ie, a vaccine) they might want to wonder how much more severe actual covid would be. So if there is a way to get some immunity from a lower dose scenario I would keep your eye open for that. Many here have said they will not keep their eye open for that and that is fine. We all do our own thinking.
Good post. I'm going to take the vaccine when it becomes available though I suspect I had Covid in January. I ended up in hospital with flu symptoms accompanied by gastric distress and a case of conjunctivitis. An older gentleman who occupied the guest house and looked after the place and some of my affairs got very sick and they found multiple lesions in his lungs. It was before any wide knowledge of Covid. He ended up on oxygen but not a respirator. Neither of us were tagged as having Covid but in that area of the country there was little knowledge of it until February and no testing. I am almost always hit hard by vaccines. When I mention it to doctors they say "impossible" and dismiss it out of hand saying I coincidentally had some other virus. To me there are no coincidences.
It honestly had not occurred to me until you just mentioned it. Yes, I suppose I could and will ask my doctor at my checkup tomorrow. I'm getting a stress test because of the heart disease on the paternal side of my family. I seem to have dodged that so far. I read in my early 40s that garlic supplements were helpful and have taken them consistently since then. Plus I don't smoke tobacco and have put in a lot of miles on my bike. I just serviced my LeMond RevMaster spinner and have gotten back on it. Its my secret weapon in the winter (or the other way around in Florida). My area and most of the state is flat so I'm going to need to find some hills somewhere eventually. I put a tightly geared cassette on my Madone for the flat stuff for the time being.
Darn. I was hoping your body's reaction to vaccines was allergy-related. I don't recall what other allergies might affect the vaccines. But I can tell you that your pink-eye didn't come from the vaccine...It came from rubbing your eye.
