Experts are warning that over-the-counter pain relievers such as Aspirin, Tylenol or ibuprofen could dull the effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines.
As the US continues to roll out vaccines from both Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna to the general public, recipients have reported minor side-effects like temporary pain that have driven some to take preventative over-the-counter painkillers before inoculation.
But several experts who spoke with ABC News Wednesday warn that this practice may hinder the body’s ability to form the antibodies that protect against COVID-19.

A decent percentage of the population is on low-dose aspirin, right?
The only effective vaccine against the next pandemic is to deprive every member of the CCP of oxygen. And while it might not do anything to stop the current virus, it would certainly make me feel better.
Has anybody had enough of this covid BS? Covid-19 is a scratch on the *ss of pandemics, plagues and pestilence.
Small pox... 300 million in the 20th century alone.
Black Plague... 25 million, or 33% of Europe’s population at the time.
Spanish Flu... 50 to 100 million people, or roughly 3% of the worlds population in 1919.
Covid-19... 2 million... or 0.03% of the worlds population today.
What utter BS. I guess they want maximum pain from their scam?
“Experts” say...
You’re comparing past pandemics start to finish with one that’s in progress. With an Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) of 0.65%, it’s no smallpox, but it’s no joke either. If we allowed it to run wild without inoculating people with vaccines, we could expect a ballpark of 41 million deaths worldwide.
Or we give people a shot and they have a sore arm for a couple days and 41 million don’t die. Easy choice.
For me, it is an easy choice.
I will not take the vaccine, period.
Completely your choice to make and I support your right to make your own decisions about what’s best for your own health and wellbeing, even if those decisions may differ from my own.
I suppose it’s a good thing if it dulls the vaccine’s rising symptom of death.
41 million out of 7.8 billion is peanuts... If this were a virus as serious as the Spanish Flu over a billion would be dead by now. The Spanish flu occurred when the main mode of transportation was by boat. That’s why only 3% of the worlds population of 1.8 billion died.
We have airlines that travel to destinations in a matter of hours. Travel by trains and cars, etc. and we have only lost 0.03% of our population. This virus doesn’t kill young and healthy people... Out of 19,000 dead in Canada... 3 of them are under 19 years old... This virus is complete nonsense and it has proven that if an actual ‘deadly’ virus ever does occur, our leaders and medical professionals are too incompetent and unprepared to deal with a ‘real’ plague.
I think it’s worth considering for a moment that you’re suggesting that the unnecessary, preventable deaths of 41,000,000 human beings is “peanuts”.
Human life is precious. If we have the means to preserve life, we have the responsibility to do so. Coldly standing by witnessing the unnecessary, preventable deaths of 41 million human beings would be morally and ethically repugnant.
Covid is gaining 1-2 mutations per month. Who really knows what it will do next? It clearly has the ability to kill already as well as the ability to shut down a global economy.
Diseases are a lot like demons. You don't make deals with them. You don't allow them to run around unchecked. You don't willingly abide their presence. When you do these things, bad things are gonna happen.
Where did you get 41 million? Please don’t say IHME or Neil Ferguson.
The vaccines are not proven to prevent people spreading the disease. It supposedly helps ramp down the symptoms.
This would help anyone over 70, where the IFR is dangerous.
The vaccines should be directed to the elderly, but only about 4% of the trials went to this age group. So GOOD LUCK.

F the vaccine. I’m 65, pretty healthy, take no medications except that 81mg aspirin and vitamins and I would never take it.
You mean, like what our government did by banning the use of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin as a therapy for this virus?
Current world population is 7,739,643,920 people. IFR for COVID-19 is 0.65%. Latest rough estimate for the R0 for the new variants is ~5.2. The herd immunity threshold (point at which Rt reduces below 1 and cases begin an inexorable decline) is 1-1/R0 or 81%. 81% of 7,739,643,920 is about 6.3 billion eventually infected. 0.65% of that is about 41 million deaths. There's a little rounding in there, so give or take ~250,000.
"The vaccines are not proven to prevent people spreading the disease."
It hasn't been tested, but if they don't help stop the spread of the disease, these would be the first vaccines to have that feature. The typical situation with a vaccinated person is that their body eliminates the pathogen so rapidly that it's unable to reproduce to the point of becoming transmissible.
"The vaccines should be directed to the elderly"
It's not only the elderly who are impacted, and the states have proven completely ineffective at distributing the vaccines efficiently even after they eventually came up with a plan for who should get them first. 22 million vaccine doses sitting in a freezer aren't doing anyone any good. If they can't be put into the hands (arms) of seniors, get them into somebody so we see a drop in transmission. If the disease isn't circulating in the population, it won't matter where grandma was in the line of people getting vaccinated.

I’m praying they aren’t referring to Jack Black.
