Public health officials and drugmakers must be transparent about the side effects people may experience after getting their first shot of a coronavirus vaccine, doctors urged during a meeting Monday with CDC advisors as states prepare to distribute doses as early as next month.
Dr. Sandra Fryhofer of the American Medical Association noted that both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines require two doses at varying intervals. As a practicing physician, she said she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of the potentially unpleasant side effects they may experience after the first shot.
“We really need to make patients aware that this is not going to be a walk in the park,” Fryhofer said during a virtual meeting with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, an outside group of medical experts that advise the CDC. She is also a liaison to the committee. “They are going to know they had a vaccine. They are probably not going to feel wonderful. But they’ve got to come back for that second dose.”

I’ve had shingles, and it is worse. I had the shingles shots and they didn’t bother me at all. Maybe a sore arm, but I don’t even remember, so it couldn’t have been that bad.
We’re going to die from a fake virus, die from the “cure” or die from the economic lock down and government over reach. God Bless America.
I had a localized red, hot reaction for about 3 days to each of the vaccine. That was all, no pain or swelling. My husband was reluctant to get it based on how my arm looked but the doctor recommended it and.....he had NO reaction to either shot. LOL!
I’d recommend the vaccine shots over having shingles every day and twice on Sunday.
Well, as Thomas Sowell says, “There are no solutions, only trade-offs.”
For elderly people and those with health conditions, they may think it is better to take the vaccine than get COVID.
It’s too bad Herman Cain didn’t get the chance.
To each their own.
I WILL NOT be taking any vaccine until my scientist friend down in San Diego, who is actually working on COVID vaccines, says that she will vaccinate both her 6 year old son and herself. As of now, she says she will not be taking this vaccine that has been rushed for a disease that will have little to no effect on her or her son. She does not trust the vaccine and how quick it has been pushed out there. Neither do her co workers. Thats good enough for me!
hilarious!
just saw something today where it’s possible..or probable..dont know which..that you can have covid after this shot and still spread it.
“Claiming the vaccine testing has been “rushed” or that it hasn’t followed the science or the normal protocols is a DEMOCRAT talking point used to discredit President Trump and his Operation Warp Speed program. Basically straight from the mouths of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.”
Not a talking point at all. Im getting that correct information directly from the horses mouth. Someone who has been working with potential vaccines since day one. These vaccines have not gone through the incredible number of trials they usually go through. Its being pushed through in months instead of the years it usually takes. If thats cool with you then hey, more power to you.
The bad news: the vaccine give you really bad symptoms.
I won’t be taking this shot until others have been the guinea pigs for at least a year.
I don’t care who pushed for it or against them, or who made it, this happened too fast.
No more 1976.
You’ve NEVER had a vaccine?
I doubt that.
I got injection one of the AstraZeneca vaccine (enrolled as trial subject) one week ago. Much like flu shot I was achy for a day and had a fever that went to 100 then went away. Nothing after one day.
If most people react lake me there will be folks forgoing injection two. There will also be a big market in forged vaccine passports, if Big Brother goes that way,
Agreed.
"Let me be clear: I trust vaccines, I trust scientists, but I don’t trust Donald Trump. At this moment, the American people can’t either. Scientific breakthroughs don’t care about calendars any more than the virus does. They certainly don’t adhere to election cycles. And their timing, their approval and distribution, should never, ever be distorted by political considerations." - Joe Biden
"Why is it moving so fast? Two reasons: money and ego. The first drug company that has the vaccine, that is big money. You didn't need Trump to tell the vaccine companies you should develop a vaccine. He had nothing to do with it. Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, they all know this is billions of dollars, whoever gets to the market first. So it's in their economic interest to push this fast. President, it's ego. On the way out the door he wants to be able to say, I solved COVID because I discovered a vaccine. Nah, it's all BS. He didn't do anything. It's the drug companies and nobody is going to trust him saying it's a safe vaccine." - Governor Cuomo

Sorry, what's the difference again? Just sounds like a bunch of anti-Trump liberal talking points to me. I can't tell the difference. I've got President Trump touting these miracle advances on the one hand, and all these quotes telling me he's a liar who can't be trusted.
I'll take President Trump's word over all of yours. And what's more, I can just look at the study results being published and know that President Trump is telling me the truth and the rest of you are lying.
The virus causes no symptoms for 40% of people. Another 40% will have mild symptoms that resolve on their own. 20% will require medical intervention. 5% will be hospitalized. 3% will be admitted to the ICU. 0.65% will die.
In a nation of 330 million people, that means 40 million people who need some medical assistance and 10 million people in bad enough shape that they’re in the hospital.
The vaccine will give you body aches and fever for a day. Quit spreading fear and misinformation.
I had the shingles vaccine. Other than slight soreness in my arm, not problem. Having known people who had shingles, I am sure that it was worth it.
If you were born prior to 1980, you almost certainly had smallpox vaccine. Are you sure you never had polio vaccine? I get the flu shot every year. I know it’s not perfect, but I’ve gotten ill with the flu a couple of times, and really, really hate it.
Oh hell of course I had those vaccines. I was referring to flu vaccines commonly available since around the early 60’s I was born in 1942 and so in addition to polio I was vaccinated when I went into the military. I received so many shots I couldn’t begin to tell you what they were for.
Do not listen to them.
