I think people here know that I’m a doctor.
I just completed the second shot of the two dose Pfizer vaccine. I felt virtually nothing after the first shot and nothing after the second shot given about 15 hours ago.
The injection consists of only 0.3 ml. Contrast that with the flu vaccine that is 0.5 ml.
The first shot helps your body recognize the virus, and the second revs up your immune system.
As you know, 99% of those infected with the virus recover fully. On the other hand there is a small percentage that recover but not fully. We call these people “long haulers.”
You might want to read up about them as many are formally very healthy even athletic.
Don’t be afraid of this shot. I recommend that you take it when it becomes available.
No offense, but didn’t Fauci say it only masked the symptoms? It doesn’t stop you from having it and spreading it?
Early Vaccines Will Prevent Symptoms, Not Virus

Does the Pfizer vaccine contain the MCR-5 factor?
FWIW, I know and know of docs who are not recommending any of the vaccines to their under 70 patients. Even high risk under 70s. And it isn’t about availability.
Stopped taking these type of virus shots ever since I got the chronic form of GB 21 years ago after first flu shot. . Still have it. No Friggin Thanks.
Ps. I don’t get flu symptoms anymore. My immune system is always on overdrive.

Thx for the informative report Nikos; really appreciate your contributions to the forum!!!
Careful, romanesq. Covid exposure blunts not only sense of smell, but sense of humor.
Twice has no credibility. Ignore e tks the illness like any other vaccine
How much testing is done for all demographic groups?
You take yourself too seriously. I’m not taking any shot but you can.
UPMC is not requiring their staff to get it. I read early that a hospital in TX was going to pay their staff $500 to get it.
That's because the shot steals your soul and now you have no soul. Cats and dogs will hiss and growl at you now.
Just kidding. Glad you are okay.
what? I don’t understand what you wrote?
No, thank you.
Wow. little keyboard. Fauci has no credibility. It prevents the illness like any vaccine
The only shot I will get is in a glass.
Long live free choice!
No! I don’t care about your medical learning. I have the internet and it told me the truth. Covid is a hoax and the vaccine is an illuminati conspiracy to change our DNA. Do some research before posting next time.
Not asking you to take it. But the hysteria is over the top
LOL. I’ll try harder next time.
A twelfth doctor who attends our church occasionally told me of the pressures physicians face to follow CDC, NIH directions.
I am going to copy your links and make a third run to the same physicians.
I am considering approaching them as a journalist preparing a publication. Since we actually do have a publication.
