Hang in thereI hope you feel better!
> I have to say that the first BionTech/Pfizer shot yesterday hit me pretty hard. I didn't get a placebo, that is for sure. It is not pleasant, but I guess it will pass.

Soreness where the shot was administered, headache, somnolence. General feeling of malaise. A bit like after a night out drinking.

I would describe it as 65% of the malaise you would have with a cold. Minus respiratory symptoms. Today is better though. Colds really mess up my mood.

Glad you feeling better today. Now which we had a scientific person on here that could explain in baby steps how the mrna and the viral vector vaccines work. I can't make heads or tales out of how the really work? Can you? Phillipa

Not really. They are pretty strong though. I don't know of any other vaccine that elicited such a strong reaction.

I would advise not to make plans for the next day.

I have to wonder of course no scientific knowledge since a piece of the virus is inserted could it give you a tiny case of Covid and then the vaccine other parts go to working killing it hence the reactions. I came up with this theory last night? Thoughts? Philipa

It contains the genes of the spike protein. The Virus uses it to attach to our cells. So the spike protein itsself can't give you Covid, because the body of the Virus is missing. The reaction is just an immune reaction. That is what I have been told

If the body has antibodies against the spike protein, the virus can't attach itsself to cells. Something like that.

It's so vague that no one I talk to seems to be able to figure out how it works? Phillipa

I must say, I am not feeling good and it is day 4 after the Pfizer vaccine.

I just wanted to say I am fine and the issues were caused by something else.

I got the Pfizer vaccine today. I had expected the second dose of the Astra-Zeneca.

So you had one dose of Astra Zeneca & one dose of Pfizer then? So the doses are being mixed then? You in Europe? Phillipa

The second shot was pretty uneventful. Much less symptoms than after the first. Now this delta-variant garbage is around. Sometimes I wonder if we will ever get back to normal. And maybe this really came from a lab. It is so contagious... None of the other viruses around are THAT contagious.

I think it did from what hearing on the news. Yes the Delta is now it the States also and cases in the Carolinas where I reside. Hence the need to get even teens and younger children vaccinated. As a parent though would you vaccinate your child with an unproven vaccine. That is strong medicine for a child.

But I think they have gathered enough data at this point. I would definitely feel ok having my children vaccinated.

Hi Noa, so you do feel there is enough data gathered for children to be vaccinated. Can you explain to me and others how this spike protein works? It really does go about my head. I know SLS did in one post. But once it gets to the spike being changed or altered with Covid I am totally lost. Evidently the T cells are the ones we should be most concerned with them responding? But am lost. Can you help out? Being an RN years ago didn't need to really know or understand chemistry. Thanks Phillipa

I got Pfizer, 2 doses, so did my husband and 2 of our grandkids. I had sore arm after 1st for a day, nothing after second. Grandkids similar, sore arms for short while. They were mixing vaccines for some middle age groups here in Canada for while due to supply shortages & other issues, a few family members had AstraZeneca followed by Moderna. Mild flu-like symptoms for a day or 2. Some people got a Pfizer/Moderna mix based on current supply at time they were eligible for vaccination.
For those who discussed autoimmune diseases earlier in the thread - I have an autoimmune disease - Lupus. My Rheumatologist who is Chief of Rheumatology at a Major University Teaching hospital told me to "definitely" get the vaccine. It did "not" flare my Lupus. Three close friends with other rheumatic type autoimmune diseases were fine also.
I don't believe in a conspiracy that would involve secret collusion between the Governments and Health Authorities in all 195 countries in the world plus the very vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of Scientific Researchers and estimated 10+ million Doctors throughout the world.
The vaccines are working. Canada now has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world and our COVID cases have been dropping dramatically - EXCEPT in the unvaccinated where they're increasing and who now make up the vast majority of cases (with Delta) and make up almost 100% of current ICU admissions.

I'm so glad you replied as since this thread was started back in June. It shows how we had not even two full months of reduction in cases. And now that vaccinations have been out for a while. I agree that when the World is all involved in this virus that it is real. Here in the Carolinas cases with Delta are rising very quickly. Since the vaccination rate is so low here now surprising that cases are rising and yes it started with the unvaccinated. Now it seems breakthrough cases are getting just as bad. My Granddaughter turns 12 in a week and her Mother is getting her vaccinated with Pfizer in Florida. So what do you feel is going to stop this pandemic? Phillipa
