Why you can expect more severe vaccine side effects if you're younger or a woman
Business Insider ^ | Apr 2021 | Aria Bendix

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.

Call it what you want:inhibitor or vaccine. The Freepvaxxers are very critical but nobody can deny there is so much we don’t know about the virus strains and our natural response and man-made shots.It seems the side effects are problematic to say the least but the Freepvaxxers will scold anyone who raises the question.

SO sorry for your loss.

A liberal friend of mine wants documentation that is not from a conservative source which indicates people have died from the vaccines. I doubt she’ll find an article written from a left-leaning publication.

Don’t be forced via peer pressure into getting an emergency use vaccine if it is not an emergency. Decide for yourself whether or not to get it based on your benefit/risk analysis. And remember, that risk/benefit analysis can change in the future based on new information. And don’t let anyone try extortion tactics on you either.

I really believe my reaction to a vaccine was due to an inflammatory cascade. Not one damn Dr ordered any inflammatory markers to try to figure out what the heck is going on.

Have had quite a few other tests though in trying to figure out other issues.

I will just say once again...no Dr will commit as to whether I should take the COVID vaccine before surgery.

I’m a 74 year old male and I rarely catch whatever is going around.
But I caught the virus and recovered with only minor symptoms.
I took the moderna vaccine both times and I got hammered both times.

I guarantee no side effects if you do not take it.

I don’t really know because we are in two different states and kept in touch through Facebook. It was her son who made the announcement on her page, writing ‘We have no more information to share at this time’.

My friend was 70 years old or just about, overweight with congestive heart and diabetes. She never should’ve gotten that vaccine. She was a democrat, and all their websites are pushing it I’m sure. I really do think it would be best not to get the shot with lung issues.

This, from a friend of mine who is not getting the vaccine, “I have listened to several doctors talk about what sounds like what happened to your friend .... they have some kind of name for it with the word “ priming “ in the term ... it does something to your body so that next time your body comes in contact with the virus you get it REAL BAD - like , kill you bad”.

“It’s a toss up!”

It surely is a toss up, with minimal predictability!

Are people with open cases allowed to take the vaccine?
I did some calculations...with 7 million open cases, you’d have to add up the new cases over the last 70+ days to get to 7 million. (That was almost 3 weeks ago...since then new cases are 75k/day or so, so it’s more than 70 days now.)

That’s also with none of those 7 million either dying or recovering...otherwise you’d have to go back more days.

With real vaccines you can’t take the vaccine if you’ve got the illness. Was your first case closed before you were allowed to take the vaccine?

The vaccines, for people who already had COVID-19, are expected to cause more issues, because you have antibodies to the disease.

It is called “Antibody Dependent Enhancement” or ADE. In the feline testing of the 2003 SARS vaccine, the cats were all successfully vaccinated and had no issues. They were then re-exposed to the wild virus and 100% of the cats died.

Men are the hardest hit when it comes to the virus.

But the vaccines are being experienced more adversely by women.

While this may be of interest, as a woke individual, I am trying to fit this into a framework of racial oppression and the effort is not going very well...

I expect ZERO side effects from any COVID vaccine because I WILL NEVER GET ONE! Neither should you.

————-
The vaxxers will never admit they have been had, played by fear. Most are sheep, not thinkers.....I spent the last year and months changing nothing, working, going to church, vacations, visiting, living life....time is uncovering the sinister Covid / vaccine hoax, 200 deaths now ( nothing), it’s OVER, burnt out but “ they” still keep pushing poison.

"Testosterone tends to be an immune-suppressive hormone,..."

Not in men. That's incorrect.
