This shouldn't really surprise anybody, there can be side effects to the flu vaccine, shingles vaccine etc. However, it may be important for those who work to plan ahead for a possible day off, especially after the second dose, which is why I'm posting the piece and will not respond to any anti-vaxxer opinion.

I'll be getting the vaccine, both doses, and will plan accordingly. Everyone can make their own decision, at least at this point. Biden takes office, all bets are off.

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.

I'm sure the side-effects are temporary

Ahhhhh.....

The federal government and vaccines.....

Reminder:

The Death Rate from the flu is 0.01%.

The Death Rate from corona is 0.02%.

Regarding the possible side effects of a vaccine that hasn’t been tested widely over time:

Do you feel lucky?

I heard that the vaccine will make your hands bigger. along with another male appendage.

My spouse is demanding that I be vaccinated as soon as possible.

The Dem back propaganda is dirty. It will kill many thousands.

Trump needs to be defeated , defiled and completely uprooted. Nothing he did was goo. ( heavy sarc.)

The CDC and FDA are WORONG ( srac.)

“I’ll be getting the vaccine, both doses, and will plan accordingly. Everyone can make their own decision, at least at this point. Biden takes office, all bets are off.”

It’s already started - airlines, and soon cruise ships simply won’t permit un-vaccinated passengers. I guess people can complain to Biden (assuming he takes office), but we all know how far that will get them.

I got the flu vaccine, and I had my first dose of the shingles vaccine this year. Unpleasant for a day, runny nose and headache, but not a big deal. If that’s what we’re talking about for the Wuhan virus vaccine, I don’t see what there is to discuss - who cares?

I am not an anti vaxxer although I won’t be getting the shots. I have never had a vaccine shot and I have never contracted a flu. Of course I have probably jinxed my self but that remains to be seen.

That said since when does any medication offered not have attending warnings or possible unwanted effects?

The Democrats/Leftists must maintain a high level of fear until after the election is decided. Warnings about the dangers of the vaccines, mandated masking which produces a constant visual reminder of just how sick America is -- how we are all only one cough or one sneeze away from certain death, and two-yard distancing to maintain an elevated level of distrust and fear among people are just part of the Democrat/Left's overall strategy of fear, anger and depression especially during this normally joyous (and religious) time of the year.

What vile, cruel creatures Democrats/Leftists are.

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.

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!

The good news: there's a vaccine for that virus that is asymptomatic in almost everyone!

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.

Hopefully it is nothing like the side-effects of the polio vaccines.

There’s a reason they cut back on those as soon as they could. It killed, and paralyzed people - just at a much lower rate than polio.

Not getting vaccine. Never do. I keep my immune system healthy, have for the last 40 years.

As for “side effects,” the one time I got a flu shot, I got a horrible case of flu. Since then, I’ve never had flu—and that was decades ago.

My friend works as a caregiver and she’s a total believer in shots. She has to be, her clients already have compromised health. My daughter was a smoker, had a horrible case of pneumonia, on ventilator in hospital for a week a few years ago. She has to be very careful. Fortunately, she works at home and her husband does the shopping.

so I think shots are up to the individual. My doctor understands my point of view, says I’m incredibly healthy, will live to be 100.

That is assuming the vaccine ever gets widely distributed in the US. The incoming Biden advisers are really scary and want to give it to the world first and to younger populations rather than older ones because it saves more person years: https://nypost.com/2020/11/23/vaccine-plans-are-professional-and-good-to-go-unless-team-biden-screws-it-up/?utm_source=maropost&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nypdaily&utm_content=20201124&tpcc=morning_report&mpweb=755-9181721-711682868

I immediately wonder if the strong reaction in some is the same group that is in the (arguable) .01% that would have been hospitalized from the virus?

Interesting if true.

I’ve taken every vaccine I could have gotten over time. Have to say this mRNA technology is a bit concerning.
