Coronavirus vaccine trial participants report day-long exhaustion, fever and headaches — but say it’s worth it

Luke Hutchison woke up in the middle of the night with chills and a fever after taking the Covid-19 booster shot in Moderna’s vaccine trial. Another coronavirus vaccine trial participant, testing Pfizer’s candidate, similarly woke up with chills, shaking so hard he cracked a tooth after taking the second dose.

High fever, body aches, bad headaches and exhaustion are just some of the symptoms five participants in two of the leading coronavirus vaccine trials say they felt after receiving the shots.

In interviews, all five participants — three in Moderna’s study and two in Pfizer’s late-stage trials — said they think the discomfort is worth it to protect themselves against the coronavirus. Four of them asked not to be identified, but CNBC reviewed documentation that verified their participation in the trials.

While the symptoms were uncomfortable, and at times intense, they often went away after a day, sometimes sooner, according to three participants in the Moderna trial and one in Pfizer’s as well as a person close to another participant in Moderna’s trial.

So it is just like a bad hangover.

“shaking so hard he cracked a tooth”

Ridiculous. No way.

[a fool in paradise]

>>said they think the discomfort is worth it to protect themselves against the coronavirus.

Sounds like they GOT CV19

[Restless]

So, they basically had the same symptoms they would have had if they’d caught it naturally?

"...shaking so hard he cracked a tooth after taking the second dose."

So, how are these side effects different or better than the symptoms of COVID-19?? I think I'll take the chance of maybe getting it and having a 99.993% chance of recovery.

[Mr. Rabbit]

So, like a lot of people get with the flu shot?

There are serious distribution issues with the Pfizer vaccine relating to cold storage. I know everyone is excited but a vaccine that can’t be easily distributed through pharmacies, has sometimes severe side effects, and requires 2 boosters is not going to quickly end things.

3) We really do need more long term data—7 days just isn’t enough. This Pfizer vaccine is also a 2-dose vaccine requiring the booster later on too, because many vaccines need that second dose to be effective for more long term. This is why we do trials and **WAIT** for more data.

4) Pfizer’s vaccine also needs deep freezing and cold chain in transport/storage. Meanwhile J&J’s pending vaccine is a single dose one and doesn’t need freezing, only standard refrigeration, which would be huge if also successful.

) And cold chain is risky — any failure to keep the vials

frozen for just a few minutes would mean the vaccine won’t be as effective. And sometimes you wouldn’t know if there was a temporary freezing chain failure unless sensitive detectors.

Is this another cure that’s worse than the disease?

Doesn’t matter. All that matters is that the Med Establishment/Pharma keep the vaccine rice bowl full.

I wonder what’s happened to the trial victims who suffered paralysis of some sort.
I’ll see if I can find out.

When my aunt had the swine flu vaccine she collapsed the same night..it depends on the person, some can get a really bad reaction to a vaccine, some have nothing

[wildcard_redneck]

Side effects of the vaccine are common, and include: headache, nausea, vomiting, death, dizziness, vaginal ejaculations, dysentery, cardiac arrhythmia, mild heart explosions, varicose veins, darkened stool, darkened soul, lycanthropy, trucanthropy, more vomiting, arteriosclerosis, hemorrhoids, diabeetus, virginity, mild discomfort, vampirism, gender impermanence, spontaneous dental hydroplosion, sugar high, even more vomiting, brown, your mom, mild rash, and embracing communism.

No, it isn’t, because some headaches and fevers are not worse than hundreds of thousands of deaths. That’s why President Trump spent billions of dollars and several months orchestrating the Operation Warp Speed program. It’s also why he negotiated with the manufacturers to get them to produce doses while the vaccines were still in phase 3 trials.

President Trump recognized the necessity for a vaccine for this illness. The rest of us should too.

I had the shingles vaccine.
That kicked my butt for a day .
But way better than getting the disease .

....High fever, body aches, bad headaches and exhaustion are just some of the symptoms five participants in two of the leading coronavirus vaccine trials say they felt after receiving the shots.....

Normal! (Flu and pneumonia vaccines can do the same thing.) But the results are worth it!!!!

[mrsmith]

More important problems with this vaccine is that it has to be kept at -70C (about -94 F) so it is very difficult to disperse.
Another is that it requires 2 administrations, two shots about a month apart.

Still, for those at high risk it’s good news.
Also good news because the way it works is similar to the way other vaccines in development work: it attacks the spike protein.

Still have my doubts about mRNA developed vaccines, but this is a good sign they’ll be OK (I hope).

[Col Frank Slade]

Cuomo is going to send all vaccine recipients into nursing homes.

[Sacajaweau]

And they still don’t know how long it is good for...or do they?

[NicoDon]

You would be crazy to let anyone inject you with this potential poison before its been tested by about a million people.

[cgbg]

Yup—the vaccine is going to be an intelligence test.

Who wants to play the coronavirus game?

If you take the vaccine, you lose!
