> My coworker got it and a few months later his right arm has gone completely numb. No loss of strength or movement, just pins and needles.
Very similar for me, with a few more complications. Since about a month after the second shot, my right arm has very frequent pins and needles sensations, but very little loss of strength.
I’m 53 years old, and got fully vaccinated with Pfizer. No immediate issues other than soreness in the arm for a couple of days. About 2 months later, I was admitted to the hospital for five days with pneumonia, although I suspect it was triggered by clotting. At the hospital, they noticed that my liver enzyme (bilirubin) levels pretty high, and they asked if I was a heavy drinker (I’m not). It took about a month for my lungs to clear up fully.
I’d never been seriously ill before. I’m extremely opposed to getting the booster shot. My wife and I know a couple of old women who had a stroke and a heart attack a couple of days after getting the booster, and a couple of old men who had fatal heart attacks a few weeks after getting the second shot.
I tried to talk my 15 year old daughter out of getting the vaccine, but in the end she took it... not because she was afraid of covid-19, but because being unvaccinated was too restrictive to here personal freedoms. I pray that she doesn’t regret it in the future.
I don’t blame you for not wanting the booster after all that. Yikes. Sad about the older people you know who died from it. So far my FIL’s memory care has not pushed the shots. He has vascular dementia, and I am concerned any blood clots would lead to a stroke. The facility has about half vaxxed and half unvaxxed residents and staff.
