All Things Coronavirus (Part 2)

My mom had minor reactions to both doses, nothing big. My dad had his second shot on Friday and he was visibly unwell on our family Zoom yesterday. He was finally able to move his arm though. The worst started about 4 hours after he got home, then Saturday was terrible. He said it was like a fast moving case of the flu.

I asked as I thought I had a bit of an unusual reaction to the first one and not much to the second

 

Nobody seems to know

 

Have also spoke to quite a few people and came to the conclusion there is no discernable pattern. The nurse for example was down for a week, her Mother no issues.

 

  I think either is possible, but more common with the second. Some of the people I talked to who already had Covid had a worse reaction to the first vaccine, but that kind of makes sense since the first one would then be acting like the "booster", and the second one may not be causing as strong of a response.

 

  It's probably important to watch for anything unusual after either shot. Even after a week or two have passed, things like muscle pain, joint stiffness or numbness that develop could still be related to the vaccine.

The old folks are now fully vaccinated. No effects whatsoever... I guess they must have an immune system like a tank or something. Hubby goes for round two soon.

My mother is 86.  She, also, had no side effects from either injection.

My theory is there are a lot of people walking around that never knew they had COVID, get the vaccine, and BAM... the body goes "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME AGAIN?!"

That was what the SO said to me, and I know someone who got it, and I had nothing like that.

 

I am pretty sure I did not have it but no way of being certain.

Has anyone had elevated blood pressure or a more rapid heart rate?  These have apparently been reported in millions.

So the WHO came out with a report that even they say is garbage.  How much US money does this organization get?

Wow, and hurrah.

Against the COVID Clingers

by Matthew Boose - April 1, 2021

 

[...] With all signs indicating that things are improving, there is no justification for carrying on this way.  After all the country has suffered, it is a slap in the face.  Americans have lived in stultifying confinement for a year now.  Persistence in this social experiment is not merely irrational, but anti-social and hostile to life.  [...]

I seem to remember the elite leaders saying we need to shut down a week or two to relieve the stress on the medical institutions.  Ask for an inch and take a mile.

Pre registering for 'normal people' started yesterday for MD. Of course this county is not participating (no idea why because we have some of the highest infection rate) so I took a look around what was available. Closest site is 3hrs away. Are you kidding me? Meanwhile my parents could just go to their doctor and get it within a few minutes. >_<

 

Also got word that some mobile clinics in the inner city were giving the poor folk the J&J vaccine. You know, why are they giving them the shot that works but is less effective, when if they could get out of the city and into the county Moderna is offered? Meanwhile this kind of nonsense is going on https://www.axios.com/emergent-biosolutions-johnson-and-johnson-vaccine-dfd781a8-d007-4354-910a-e30d5007839b.html

Check with local non-franchise pharmacies if you have any around you.  Many of them have waiting lists for leftover vaccine at the end of the day.  Also check vaccinespotter.org, YMMV, but I was able to use that site to find a Rite-Aide not too far away.

 

Good Luck!

  Who is still being locked down? There are currently 43 states with almost no restrictions in place at all except wearing masks. The other 7 have some restrictions on capacity or advisories on travel.
