@Singland thx for sharing ur experience!

If you click on that first data link, it gives a lot of info from over many years and payouts.

@JerseyGal Thanks...I'll check this out. I am surprised that someone was inept enough as to give a vaccination in the wrong place.

I'd think it would be like heart operations: you want to go where they do 500 a year, not 50 (the numbers are higher for giving injections, but you understand).

The CoViD places run by healthcare systems seem to be staffed by people who are doing thousands of injections, & probably already had a bit of experience. OTOH, pharmacies like Rite-Aid did not have dedicated vaccination staff (maybe that changed with the distribution monies in the last big bill), so it may have varied widely in terms of experience vaccinating ppl.

@JerseyGal Thank you for the link. I'm still on the fence about getting the Covid vaccine. I am NOT a proponent of ANY vaccine. I'm going to wait a while to see what develops from these particular vaccines (which, I understand, are not true vaccines, but experimental drugs).

@Moon3624 this dipshit of a US government is starting to force people to take it

@undetermined no they aren’t

@jonathanhenders yeah thats what the paper work some of the government is thinking of enforcing showing u have been vaccinated.

@MrAverage1965 good for you!
Some people face side effects while others don’t. But your arm will eventually start hurting as it’s a must 😅💞 good luck

@TheSirfurryanimalWales good luck!
I hope everything goes fine 💞

@Softandsweet2 thank you, I don’t regret taking it !

@TheSirfurryanimalWales you might not feel side affects and hopefully you don’t , but sore arm is kinda a must
You will eventually feel it

@Moon3624 Barely felt Pfizer first dose, no sore arm on Pfizer 2nd dose.

@Moon3624 The Oxford vaccine is not approved for use on anyone under 18, and I don't know where "here" is.

@Northwest idk but I’m 17 and I still got it 🤷‍♀️ Here :

@Moon3624 I meant country.

@SW-User they said it’s false news and that there is no link found between deaths and the vaccination. But honestly who knows? it could be.
I believe taking it or not is a personal opinion just like the flu shot , no one should be blamed/judged for taking it and ofc vice versa

@vetguy1991 yes, my second dose is in 3 months.
The second dose from a vaccine to another differs

@Moon3624 ok

@TrippyHave you experienced the loss of tastes and/or smells? 2/4 of my close relatives (cousins) who caught it have lost them both in December, and they're still almost completely insensitive as of today.

@Elessar Experienced no other symptoms than basic horrible cold like. Hope they recover. ❤️

@Trippy Oh good, glad to hear. 🧡

I hope so too, they actually don't mind it much, as they're the super sportive, always busy always outdoors types for whom meals are more of a boring chore than any pleasurable moment; if it happened to me I'd get depressed probably, being food one of my anchors in life 😐

@pianoplayingsteve You said it was an RNA vaccine, and mRNA is more precise. IDK what MRA is.

You have spread misinformation about the vaccines in other posts, and you have yet to say why an mRNA vaccine is "a bad thing"...what are your references?

And yes, with vaccines based on this new, mRNA approach knocking it out of the ballpark at ~95% effectiveness (the std flu vaccines are only ~50% effective), then saying that they are "bad" with ZERO real references, data, etc., IS simply spreading crap, and trying to plant seeds of doubt.

If you remember last year, about April, Dr. Fauci said that a vaccine 50% effective would be good, 60% effectiveness would be great. That is the sort of effectiveness which they had hoped for, based upon the other experience.

The mRNA-based vaccines are amazing.

So please either

a) be explicit in your condemnation, saying WHY and giving REFERENCES (this means to peer-reviewed research, etc., not YT videos of nurses who have hearsay);

OR

b) stop being part of the whisper campaign.

To be more blunt, put up or shut up.

@pianoplayingsteve Never hurts to be accurate but you never give any real refs, just vague whispers.

Again, put up, or shut up.
