Covid-19 vaccine may have unpleasant side effects. That will mean it's working.

Pfizer is expected to seek federal permission to release its Covid-19 vaccine by the end of November, a move that holds promise for quelling the pandemic but also sets up a tight time frame to make sure consumers understand what it will mean to get the shots.

The vaccine, and likely most others, will require two doses to work, injections that must be given weeks apart, company protocols show. Scientists anticipate that the shots will cause enervating flu-like side effects — including sore arms, muscle aches and fever — that could last days and temporarily sideline some people from work or school. And even if a vaccine proves 90 percent effective, the rate Pfizer touted for its product, 1 in 10 recipients would still be vulnerable. That means, at least in the short term, as population-level immunity grows, people can't stop social distancing and throw away their masks.

It knocks you down for a couple of days, and you have to get it twice.

And nobody says how long it lasts.

If reasonably permanent, they might get some mass vaccination. If 6 months, no way.

And there's a bunch of people that want to make it REQUIRED.

When I got the cholera vaccine in the Navy, circa 1979 it knocked me down for 3 days. Fever, chills and body aches.

I am not getting but I am thinking about getting the MMR. People can have a similar reaction.

Aww darn, more people getting paid to stay home. It is mandatory for healthcare workers in many organizations. Forced healthcare. #Mengele lives.

Sounds like the Shingrix vaccination. Got knocked in the dirt for a day or so.

Sign me up. I’m tired of all this Covid nonsense. It’s been hell on my family since March. My two kids have been unemployed since the beginning since their employers went out of business during the first lockdown, my wife and I got quarantined for two weeks at one point because we were exposed, my firm had to shut down because of an outbreak, and we’ve spent 3 months in lockdown (2 months starting March, and then another month in August). I go to sleep stressed, wake up after only a few hours of sleep and the go through the day exhausted.

So it will be WORSE than Covid-19 infection for the vast majority of people who never even know they had it.

How convenient.....

And we’re supposed to assume that the side effects mean the vaccine is working instead of damaging healthy people and leaving them susceptible to something even more nefarious?

Also, another unfortunate side effect, is that everyone who takes it, ends up looking like Faustus Fauci.

I believe that this vaccine tied is into Gen 6 with transhumanism agenda and also the nephlim Harry the Body Reid a couple months ago stated he wants UFO’S declassified the defense department has stated that UFO’S are not of human origin.
I wouldn’t recommend anyone getting this vaccine or anything vaccine related

Pfizer says “hopefully lasts over a year”.

So, an annual booster that knocks you down?

Does it protect against all current variants of the virus?

Dude.

Shingles took me out for 8 weeks. And it’s still not completely gone. The most miserable experience of my life.

I encourage everyone to get the Shingrix vax.

Just had a physical and my internist said Shingrix does that for 5-10% of those who get it. It’s a sore arm for just about everyone, but really knocks you down for 1-2 days for that percentage. She recommended doing it when you could plan on perhaps being out of it for a couple days.

I had a very sore arm along with fever and chills for a couple of days with the first Shingrix shot. The second shot didn’t bother me as much. The side effects were less severe. (just sore arm).
