Our immune systems tend to deteriorate as we age, so older people's bodies don't work as hard to defend them against foreign invaders — including the protein introduced to the body via a vaccine. As a result, side effects are often milder and less numerous among the elderly than among younger adults.
Women tend to have stronger reactions to many vaccines, including those for polio, influenza, measles, and mumps — so it's no surprise that they have more side effects after their coronavirus shots, too. Cherian said this likely has to do with estrogen levels.
"Testosterone tends to be an immune-suppressive hormone, and estrogen tends to be an immune stimulant," he said.

A prior article I just posted from MedPage also explains the many protective benefits of estrogen, but also its contribution to raising blood clot risk...
Hormonal therapy is being looked as a possible treatment for Covid:
Researchers from Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles are exploring another route: injecting male patients with progesterone. Sara Ghandehari, MD, the principal investigator of the California-based trial, said that the use of progesterone targets various immune cells to "dampen this inflammatory cascade." - Amanda D'Ambrosio, MedPage
One thing you can always count on is women and/or minorities being hardest hit
Women and men are totally interchangeable though
If you’re a liberal, you believe there are no biological differences between men and women.
But there are. And this article is in regard to the vaccines not the virus.
Men are the hardest hit when it comes to the virus.
But the vaccines are being experienced more adversely by women.
Sexist hormones!! (I never dreamed I would ever type such a thing).
Where’s the ACLU?
Good friend of mine since jr hs had vaccine on march 19, died yesterday; I think it was the vaccine. She was not dying of anything;

Because God is an old white man.
Easy solution for the ladies. Just identify as a man before getting the vaccine. The vaccine will go, “Congrats on the transition!” and leave you free of side effects. Then two weeks later say something about it all about fluid and go back to being a woman. That’s science according to the Left.
I have only been talking about thymic involution and immunosenscence for the past year.
The women in our family did better with shot #1 and shot #2.
Re more minor side effects to getting hammered, the guys were the weaker sex re the vaccinations.
Yet, Friends and family (men) with fairly severe other health problems had minimal if any problems with either #1 or #2 shots. The healthy guys had more reactions.
One guy with severe cardiac problems and with 3 cardiac stents and lung problems was accompanied by his grand daughter, a licensed EMT and in her final year of RN school. She accompanied him in case she was needed.
No problem, he did very well.
In summary, vaccine side effects are not very predictable based on health histories before the vaccine shots.
So, in spite of close to 200 hundred million people being vaccinated, there is zero reliability re predicting how people will respond to their vaccine shots.
I got the Covid Arm reaction with the Pfizer vaccine. Most of the time it happens with the Moderna vaccine.
How did she die? My wife has lung issues and is scheduled to have her first shot on April 16. She doesn’t have the scepticism I do about the media and government. At this point I’m not going to try to convince her not to, but pray if the vaccines are really dangerous that proof will come out before her first shot. As for me, I’m passing and taking a lot of crap from family and friends.
Did she talk to her doctor first?
Thank you - it’s always the case
The spin never stops
Yup
Always

Will anyone be shocked in 5 or 10 years if data comes out showing lower long-term fertility among young women who got the vaccine?
Another site shut down.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
My wife works with a lot of women in their twenties. Almost all of them are getting the jab, even ones that had Covid prior. Most have had fairly significant side effects.
Total tragedy if they end up with fertility issues too.
They already said vac affects fertility.
