Because I am old and had comorbidities, I got the 2X Pfizer jab in March of 2021.

Nothing happened to me. I got sick after the first one, which I was told meant I had probably already had Covid, but the second one no issues.

No issues for me except I then, months later, got Covid (tested Pos) not once but three times!

So I can say the jab didn’t do its job for me.

However, I suffer no heart or other ailments due to it, for which I am grateful.

I know I wasn’t the only person here on Free Republic to get the jabs early on. So my question for anyone here who did so, how has it fared for you?

I was economically coerced into getting the shots. No more of that sh!t is going into me.

I had three jabs, two early on. Because of medical issues I already had, I received a liver transplant in May of 2021. I had one jab after that. I did test positive for Covid once last year, but with no symptoms.
My immune system is my biggest enemy, but I can do anything I want, no problems except age-related arthritis. All the meds I take make me feel like a walking drug store sometimes, lol.

I do have some skin issues as well, but they are probably related to all the other stuff I have going on. Gonna see a dermatologist next month.

No more jabs for me.

I also got 2 jabs early on - Moderna both times. I was a fairly healthy 76 year old in 2021 and had no reason to go to the doc. I did have a fever, aches, after each jab but was told that was normal.

2022, my right leg, ankle, foot swelled so off to the doc I went. They cannot find any blood clots using ultrasound (twice) but my blood pressure was through the roof.

I believe there is a correlation, none of my 4 docs have even remotely suggested that I have a booster. I won't even get a flu shot this year as I just don't trust any vaccines at this point.

Probably got the 2 jabs around June 2021. Thankfully no bad side effects. Wife did not get jabs. Both got Covid about a year later with exact same symptoms and length.

Likely means you experience a shift from immunoglobulin-3 to immunoglobulin-4 production. IG-3 is what you want to clear viruses, IG-4 is for long term issues like parasites, or allergies. It doesn’t offer a robust immune response that you would desire to clear a virus.

Here’s a better explanation: https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-wrong-antibody-monday-december

The entire link I provided is fascinating, but here is the heart of the matter:

“ The body doesn’t normally use the IgG4 antibody to tackle viruses. That antibody usually handles proteins from allergens like shellfish, bee venom, pollen, and peanuts.

In terms of neutralizing capability, IgG3 is up to FIFTY TIMES more effective at neutralizing virus proteins than is IgG4. If IgG3 is a well-armed SWAT team, then IgG4 is Mall Cop.

Here’s the critical first paragraph from the December study:

High levels of neutralizing SARS-CoV-2-antibodies are an important component of vaccine-induced immunity. Shortly after the initial two mRNA vaccine doses, the IgG response mainly consists of the pro-inflammatory subclasses IgG1 and IgG3. Here, we report that several months after the second vaccination, SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies were increasingly composed of non-inflammatory IgG4, which were further boosted by a third mRNA vaccination and/or SARS-CoV-2 variant breakthrough infections. IgG4 antibodies among all spike-specific IgG antibodies rose on average from 0.04% shortly after the second vaccination to 19.27% late after the third vaccination… Importantly, this class switch was associated with a reduced capacity of the spike-specific antibodies [IgG1 and IgG3] to mediate antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and complement deposition.

In study subjects with breakthrough infections, it was even worse: On average, subjects who had a breakthrough infection after their booster shots showed 42.45% IgG4 — almost half. Remember — IgG4 is not even seen in the normal immune response to covid in unjabbed people.

Critically, all the vaccinated subjects’ IgG3 levels fell to ZERO (0%) after their third jab in the study”

Someone I know who has Factor 5 Lyden genetic defect (single gene, not double) was sick with his first mRNA shot and VERY sick with his second mRNA shot. I tried to warn people in charge that extra supervision should be provided for people getting these shots if they had Sickle Cell Trait or Anemia, or Factor 5 Lyden gene(s). My communication was ignored.

My wife got debilitating vertigo. It tailed off quickly (a week) but she still can “feel” it from time to time. She hasn’t caught Covid.

I didn’t take the vaxes. I haven’t had Covid either.
