Anti-vaxxers + covid + All that fun jazz + side effects
CChuuni
You can get side effects from the vaccine. They are more likely the stronger your immune system because it is literally designed to amp your immune system into war vs. virus so TO CLARIFY
CChuuni
In a normal flu vaccine, you are more likely to experience illness if your immune system is weak because it uses some of the virus so the whole immune system gets used to it -- the new covid vaccine from moderna and pfizer do not do this. They jump straight to telling your immune system what to make to protect yourself and isolate infected cells
CChuuni
So it's like ww2. Instead of doing a trial run with pretends insurrectionists, this vaccine just gives the blueprints and says "you make THIS now" which
CChuuni
Works faster/HARDER if your immune system is very robust and used to doing its own thing just fine.
CChuuni
That said. As much as I appreciate the clowning on fakers....
CChuuni
Side effects are NOT "the shakes."
On my current meds I can sometimes feel like it's earthquake pills (that coyote and roadrunner short!!!) because ->
CChuuni
My med is specifically to counter paralysis!!!

For those (like me and moosey) who cannot take the vaccine (this one anyway) our antibodies are deregulated and attack at "random" (allergies) but also: specifically the nervous system which causes paralysis.

Related to Parkinson's, YES. So when Michael J. Fox is shaky on camera, that is not from the Parkinson's that's actually from the meds that allow him to move at all.
CChuuni
you will not get fucking shakey or tremors from the vaccine

It's just fucking insulting. At least complain of the REAL side effects. I'm not going to lie and say there are none
CChuuni
My great uncle had none but I've said this a thousand times him + mom + grandma's lineage specifically has a weird genetic immunity to cfs -- anyway
CChuuni
Cousin (not of their line, also a cop) had intense migraine (he's never had a migraine before!) Nausea, vomiting (he never vomits either lol, never catches the flu etc.) Muscle pain and cramps, fatigue, etc.
CChuuni
It lasted a whole 18-24 hours
CChuuni
I promise you

One/two days (spread out for each dose) is VASTLY better than that becoming your daily normal and then some.
CChuuni
Like I told his mom/my aunt + Kyle: yeah, you get to be me for a day or two. I'm not relishing your pain but if you think that's bad, be grateful it prevents it from becoming permanent.
CChuuni
So 1) get the vaccine 2) be forewarned it might sting the next day (by which I mean, enjoy being CC for a day -- at WORST) 3) So in advance if you live alone-ish
CChuuni
Set up liquids, vitimin C easy to stomach consumable of your choice, couch/bed for REST, phone/hand video game / music of your choice / remote control and light tv programming or book on tape.
CChuuni
If you can, try to get the vaccine before a day off from work just in case.
CChuuni
In general I've heard the elderly are def. Tolerating the vaccine better
CChuuni
Just as covid is more lethal for them BECAUSE their immune systems have a longer database of "been through this before" -- ditto healthcare workers (greater exposure to large variety etc)
CChuuni
And I repeat: at worst let's say you get full on partially paralyzed -- which is rare but yes, AND all the rest
CChuuni
You'll be me for a day (LOL) be me for a day (or two) and I promise you'll escape being me for 17+ years
CChuuni
Also
CChuuni
2nd dose I've heard is usually worse. Good luck. Slap liars.
CrypticGirl
Huh. I wonder when I'll get mine...?
CChuuni
Fingers crossed!!!
