there was no evidence of that happening in the clinical trial but keep us posted lol

So... we should all go nekkid now? Maybe a modesty patch, hihi.
I believe you, that's not the issue. But I don't find anything worrying about it.
Now if we were dealing with a new outbreak of the plague... THEN I'd be worried.
Corona... a seasonal flu that's here to stay and that can have more impact, like we more often have more potent flu viruses.

I heard that in the UK 20 million people had their shot.
I was shocked. That's 1/3 of the UK population.
Not sure about the nrs here.

the covid virus belongs to a large family of “corona viruses” which can cause mild to “severe “ disease . .

Covid is NOT caused by the influenza virus ., two very different viruses. Although there are some shared similarities they are separate viruses . There is no indication corona is seasonal .. it has been transmitted /prevalent during summer and winter months .

I truly wish, that I had some really messed up
side effects from the vaccine to report.
But, I don't.

The shoulder I took the first injection in;
Arthritis... Hurts all of the time anyway.

Shortness of breath: 10% lung capacity will
do that. Thank you, multiple GSW.

Heart pounding like I took too many vivarin;
Well... I do suck down caffeine, like it's
Nectar of the Gods.

Just FML.

Glad to hear you are fine, Rock!

It's what experts say, and when you look at the numbers and curves of as good as every country you see the seasonal pattern. During summer it was almost gone in many/most countries, and flared up again during fall/winter.

It is also said by experts that it is here to stay. It is in nature, and won't go away. Not weird and unusual. Most viruses -and even bacteria- that cause illnesses and/or have caused pandemics have never left the premises. They're dormant or still have occasional occurrences, like the plague.

And I didn't mean it's an influenza virus, I meant the generic meaning of 'flu' as in respiratory infection/illness that's contagious, and so far seems to follow a seasonal pattern like (in)flu(enza).

Flu is a common abbreviation for influenza . The only other time it is used is for stomach flu (gastroenteritis ). There are many respiratory viral infections that are not the flu . Even if someone presented with flu-like symptoms (which many pathogens can cause ) that does not mean they have the influenza virus .

Furthermore ,
Covid is not a generic flu infection . It is a “novel” corona virus infection snd although it gains entry via the respiratory system it targets and affects Ace2 cells which are widespread throughout the body . There may be some shared symptoms between covid and influenza but they are very different pathogens .

If you can find evidence from any expert who claims covid is a type of flu I would be keen to see that info .

Covid has shown its ability to withstand extremes of temperature (the Antarctic vs the Middle East ). Recent studies have shown it is evolving to evade antibody detection . There are real concerns if the new strains cross mutate what that will mean in terms of treatment options and mortality rates .

Got the Pfizer vaccination and I feel absolutely fine. I didn’t even feel it going in.

I have to say that I have more of a reaction to the annual flu shot

After the House passed the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill on Saturday, its fate now resides in the Senate where it could be passed in time to see checks sent as early as mid-March. The Senate is expected to take the measure this week and negotiate a final bill to pass. The House measure includes a raise of the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025, but it is unlikely it will remain in the bill after Senate deliberations. The bill is pushing to be passed before March 14, according to CBS News. The coronavirus stimulus package is expected to include $1,400 checks, a boost in weekly unemployment benefits and to boost government spending on COVID-19 testing and tracing. Those eligible for the full amount include individuals earning up to $75,000 or married couples up to $150,000. If the bill is passed by March 12, the checks could start depositing into bank accounts within a few days.


FDA authorizes at-home COVID-19 test



Here are the latest COVID-19 numbers, provided by researchers at Johns Hopkins University:

Confirmed cases: 113,873,450

Fatalities: 2,526,793

Recoveries: 64,308,465


Hundreds of tribes across the U.S. do not have legal recognition with the country, and it is now impacting their coronavirus response due to a lack of funds. Federally recognized tribes have access to federal coronavirus relief funding for state, local and tribal governments, according to The Associated Press. Tribes without recognition, such as the Chinook Nation, do not have access to those resources, which has led to the tribes lacking in resources needed to combat the pandemic within their communities. Last March, $8 billion was allocated to 574 federally recognized tribes across the U.S. to assist in pandemic response. The Chinook Nation in Washington state received some funding from a nonprofit that provided help with electricity bills and food for elderly residents. “It’s completely unfair for our neighbors to get millions of dollars, and for us to get some trickle-down, if anything,” tribal council chairman Tony A. (Naschio) Johnso said. “That’s not to say that other tribes shouldn’t be getting funding, we just need funding, too.”


Researchers now say that a person who contracts the coronavirus after receiving the vaccine may carry and shed less of the virus -- meaning any person they expose the virus to may become less sick. The researchers say their hypothesis was based on animal studies and some preliminary research that was conducted on humans, The Washington Post reported. There is still limited evidence supporting the hypothesis. Experts still recommend people who are vaccinated continue to wear masks. “Even if you’re vaccinated and you’re going out, keep masking up until we get more people vaccinated,” said Ilhem Messaoudi, director of the Center for Virus Research at the University of California at Irvine.

Flu cases nearly nonexistent in US amid pandemic

Navy ships hit by COVID outbreaks

More and more stories of side-effects are surfacing.
Over here the shots with Astrazeneca have stopped for now as there's to many severe problems with thrombosis.

You also hear stories from people themselves. One, a friend of my friend, had a gushing nosebleed after she had the shot.

I'm glad that so far here no one had troubles from it. And I'm glad I'm not going to get it. And incredibly grateful none of my most loved ones are getting it.

hi crystal .., epistaxis is a highly unusual symptom not generally associated with vaccination . .


As for the issue with blood clots and the AstraZeneca vaccine .... investigations are under way but a link has not yet been confirmed .

Netherlands claim they have halted using the AstraZeneca vaccine as a precaution only until more information is available . ....

AstraZeneca vaccine: Europe divided over suspensions as investigation continues

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56412784


"In the UK, more than 11 million people have already received at least one dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and there has been no sign of excess deaths or blood clots occurring."

"France, Germany, Spain and Italy have said they are awaiting an investigation by the EU's regulator into reports of clots in a small number of recipients."

"Some 13 European countries have paused their use of the vaccine. Denmark was first, followed by Norway and Iceland. Germany, France, Italy, Cyprus, Spain, Latvia and Sweden are the latest to follow suit."

"Meanwhile, experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) were also meeting on Tuesday but a spokesman stressed there was "no evidence" that the reported blood clots were linked to the vaccine."

"The intense divisions over the AstraZeneca jab come as much of the continent is struggling to contain a surge in coronavirus cases."

AstraZeneca...

- My UK friend had his 1st shot yesterday and isn't feeling all too well.
Plus, he has had a bad case of tinnitus for some 24 hrs now.
That is scary as hell as tinnitus is not an ear or ear nerve issue, but a brain issue (neurons). Meaning the vaccine messes with your brain... Logical, it messes with all cells in the body.

I'm SO SO glad that I don't have that poison in my body!!

Interesting. What surge would that be exactly?

Since you promote it so much all the time and put all your faith in Big Pharma... have you had your shot yet? And which one did you choose?

as I have said before crystal I have provided information on both benefits and side effects . . The info I have provided (Unless i have stated otherwise ) has nothing to do with my personal views . You know very little about what I have faith in so I would be grateful if you would refrain from making personal assumptions about me.

As for vaccination . I do not believe people are being offered a “choice” in the brand / type of vaccine they receive . At least not at this stage . In Nz , the Pfizer vaccine is being rolled out . Border workers and port workers are receiving their first vaccine now . Frontline health workers will likely be next (sometime in the second quarter ). So , as of yet I have not been vaccinated .

A woman has reportedly given birth to a baby with antibodies after getting the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine while pregnant. If verified, it would be the first baby born with coronavirus antibodies. The mother was given the first dose of the Moderna vaccine in January when she was 36 weeks pregnant. She gave birth in south Florida to a healthy girl just three weeks later. Dr. Paul Gilbert and Dr. Chad Rudnick presented the findings in a preprint article pending peer-review, which has been accepted for publication. The paper says further research is needed to determine if infants are protected by antibodies.

Fifth vaccine gets approval in China

Tens of millions of Americans will receive their third stimulus payment on Wednesday, March 17, according to the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). The agency heads the direct deposit process for many banks and credit unions in the U.S. While this date is the settlement date that the IRS chose for the first wave of funds, a few people have already received their economic impact payments due to finance companies not waiting for the money to be cleared before depositing it into customer accounts, according to CNBC News. “While the IRS could have chosen to send the funds via Same Day [Automated Clearing House] or provided for an earlier effective date, it chose not to do so,” said a statement from a group of banks and credit unions, released Tuesday, explaining why they had been waiting for the IRS to release the funds. “It is up to the sender, in this case the IRS, to decide when it wants the money to be made available and the IRS chose March 17.”

3 feet of social distancing may be just as effective as 6, study finds

Governments around the world are facing a dilemma: continue using a vaccine that is known to save lives or suspend the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine due to reports of dangerous blood clots in a few of the recipients. While the head of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said there was “no indication” that the shot was responsible, the complication is forcing politicians to assess the health risk of pausing use of the vaccine in a time when Europe is facing challenges in inoculating its population, The Associated Press reported. Sweden is the latest in the list of nations to halt the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine, joining Spain, Germany, Italy and France while countries like Belgium, Poland, Romania and Greece insist that halting the shots would cause more harm than good. Both AstraZeneca and the World Health Organization have backed the EMA in saying there’s no evidence the vaccine carries an increased risk of blood clots. Of the more than 17 million people who have received the vaccine across the EU and Britain, there have been 37 reports of blood clots, AstraZeneca said.

Covid in Europe: Vaccine suspension hits rollout as cases rise

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56415249

"several European countries are experiencing a new surge in coronavirus infections, while a number have also suspended use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine over safety concerns."

"The European Medicines Agency is standing by its decision to approve the vaccine and has reiterated there is "no indication" the jab causes blood clots. It is investigating further and its results are due to be released on Thursday."

"Correspondents in six cities explain how Europeans are reacting to the new wave of infections and the stuttering rollout."
