Received my booster Vaxx

Post new topic

Enzyte Bob

On Tuesday at the Pasig City hall I received my booster (third vaxx) and they asked me what Vaxx I wanted and I chose Pfizer.

My wife and housekeeper also chose Pfizer. My first two Vaxx's were Sinovac. The day after the housekeeper had no side effects. My wife had a heavy arm and a temperature.

I was sick for four days. My temperature was 102.5 F / 39C. I was listless & weak, had insomnia & was bed ridden for one day, My ringing ears (Tinnitus) increased several folds and I had balance problems. I'm back to normal now.

With the Sinovac I had no after effects but Pfizer really incapacitated me. Now I'm thinking what if we have to get Vaxxed every six months, I don't want to go through that Mini Covid illness again.

Having had three vaxx's, a full blown case of Covid-19 (natural immunity?), and a mini case of Covid,

I am all vaxxed out.

I really believe that there will be a yearly shot for Viruses in the fall, maybe even combining Flu and Covid, JMO< but got to keep big pharma stock prices up.

I read yesterday... They are expecting this to now be yearly flu and covid shots.  I hesitate to call the mnra shot a Vax, as the meaning does not represent the reality.  Sorry you had such a bad reaction Bob...  But if you read the vaers reports and testimonials it seams it is pretty common with the second, and also booster shots.

All 3 of my shots were Moderna and I had no reaction to them except a sore muscle at the injection sight for a day. It makes sense that it is a yearly thing like the flu shot, can't say it surprises me at all. Bob, I hope you and your family are well now, peace and love

With the first shot they gave me a strip of paracetamol. So I guess when the annual shot time comes, I'll be well prepared with lots of Chicken Soup.

Albert Bourla suggested that in January.
Given his position in life (a vet making sacks of cash out out of human vaccines) I'm less than ready to accept his take on the subject.
My opinion shouldn't be taken as a tin foil hat job, more a disinclination to believe some dude with a dog in the race.

I had a couple before I went - My ex-wife was nagging so I needed them

I can't wait for annual shots because I love chicken soup. Try it with pineapple.

My first Chinese vaccine did not a thing to me, my second Chinese vaccine made me feel a bit off for a few days - nothing to shout about.
My AZ booster knocked me into a grim hell for a week or so.

However, I'll accept the rough week if it reduces my chances of snuffing it just yet (Unless the ex-wife starts nagging again)

I guess I'm not alone on the booster. . .

Good to know you were able to get the Pfizer, but sorry it was rough - I have read that a strong reaction indicates stronger immune system response (so good!). That would be supported by other studies that suggest mixing and matching can be beneficial by stimulating additional B-cell, T-cell and antibodies.

I had a strong reaction to my second Moderna shot. Knocked me flat for a day or two. The Moderna booster didn't do as much, just a little fatigue, but it's only a half dose anyway. I wonder if you got a full dose of the Pfizer.

I also suspect there will be an annual shot, just like with flu. No way are we getting rid of this thing now with all the mutations.

I'm 62 . Have not one single vaccine and won't get one ever . Last June I had a fever and a cough  . I took tylonal for the fever and otc med for the cough .   7 days ,it was over .
Meanwhile I know people who had strokes , hospitalized and 2 died from the vaccine .AND  when " omicron" went around  a dozen people here we have contact with all got it . Me and my unvaxxed wife ..nothing .
We are set.  we have up to 45x the natural immunity and  no need for continues " boosters" 
   Fauci  in his emails ,anyone who reports any study's  not inline with our agenda must be swiftly and devestatingly attacked .     Keep your vaccine .   You already know they will try to force a new one every 6 months for a flu with a 99.98 recovery rate .and the ones who didn't recover had Four or more morbiditys .obesse ,diabetic  feable old age etc . Same as every flu since the flu has been going around .

Freedom of choice is a good thing and people willing to take the responsibility for their own choices or actions.

Now that is said and acknowledged if you were not tested for Covid, can you be sure your ailment was Covid?

You certainly know a lot of vaccinated people who had some kind of ailment or death or are you drawing that conclusion from reports on the media or hearsay?

Better not bet the house on the 45X natural immunity you believe you have. While I'm an anti vaccine person, I chose not to bet the house and received all three steps of vaccinations.

A year from now, I should be able to make an informed and intelligent decision on receiving my second booster.

I personally spoke with people who had family die after the vaccine. One a pilot whos previously healthy father died after the second shot . He himself said he suffered and stroke . I assume it was a light stoke as he was ok at the time. he said he didn't want the second one .
The other is a woman who is handling the papers of our building lot purchase . Her brother died after him taking the vaccine..  the pilot if I remember correctly said it was the sinovac . The woman I dont know which one .
    Yes we know lots of people vaxxed and they themselves told us they where home with what they assumed was omicron . Which the Philippine government was placing level 3 restrictions on until just the last few days . We had contacts with those people  weekly or much more . As it's a small island and we socialize in the same areas .   
    I didn't run to the doctor to verify what I had . It was either a seasonal flu or covid which is a strong flu . Either way they would have listed it as covid . 
   Since then our vaxxed friends got the virus going around .we did not .
I have spoke with other pinoy who haven't taking it and won't .some that I said who did get sick took it against thier will .. no vaccine no job . Even though governor quen said that's illegal etc .     And just Sunday night a woman we know told my wife she had to be hospitalized after the first vaccine and will not take another .
As for me I never even considered taking the vaccine .  And won't .
     Study's showing natural immunity is stronger and vaxxed people with weakend immunity the reason for 3  and planned 4th and every 6 months or yearly .    I sincerely hope vaxxed people dont suffer long after they have been vaxxed . Time will tell .

mahi948 I think you are a picking up on a few few instances, the high majority of people dying in the states from Delta are unvaccinated.  I hope you can avoid being exposed.

Not even slightly. People here have been reporting similar problems to mine, but most recovered faster.
Essentially we're swapping a couple of days feeling a bit grim for a massively reduced chance of serious illness.
I see it as the same as buying insurance.

Ladies and gentlemen of the forum.
If you wish to tell us how people are dying as a result of the vaccines, please link to reliable news stories or real medical sites that confirm your claims.

Facebook rubbish and extremist pretend medical sites are not proof.

Fred

Also - If I may request, please.
It's a good idea not to quote potential conspiracy claims - saves a lot of moderator effort.

Cheers :)

thanks Fred

I have personally spoken with hundreds of people who did not die or suffer extreme distress after getting vaccinated. 😊😊😊

Please stop silencing people who can personally experienced negative side effects of COVID vaccines from telling their stories or the stories of family and friends.  Why don’t you delete enzitebob post saying he’s all Vaxxed out and prove my point.

There's a big difference between stories we all know to be true because we've either experienced them personally or know a lot of people that have, and unnamed people from stories there is absolutly no record of, or no news about, but appear on conspiracy  sites.
There's absolutely nothing stopping anyone telling of mass deaths or whatever, but they have to back them up.

I agree this is not the place to post without citing a few sources.
