Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

[05fordgt]

A yearly booster mandate would be annoying. I don't mind the flu shot because for me it has no side effects. The covid shots give me terrible side effects and I can't sit out of work for 2 weeks to recover, I have to continue to work through horrible side effects for weeks.

If you have no side effects to the vaccine, a yearly booster sounds great! Most people I know haven't had the side effects that I have experienced.

May I ask, what side effects did you have that lasted 2 weeks? I only ask as I've had all 3 doses (2 plus booster) and will get a 4th as soon as my 6-month window opens (and my transplant team says it's okay) and since I don't have an immune system (due to my immunosuppressant medication) I had no side effects except a sore arm after the booster and a slight foggy feeling for like an hour. Then I was good the rest of the day.

I have ZERO concern with having to get a booster yearly. No different than a flu shot (for me at least). Whatever helps to not catch this.

Itching and hives all over.

The resistance to taking a free booster once a year doesn't make sense to me.

I mean, my vax card is fully filled out but is it really all that hard to understand?

like, I don't wanna. who WANTS to? is it fun? wouldn't you rather it not be necessary?

of course, it is entirely necessary at this time...but who desires that forever?

anyway that being typed it's weird that loss of smell and taste isn't spoken of as the minor brain damage it really sounds like.

This.

Its not “resistance” but exactly that^^. Do you wanna? No not really and not cause anti vax blah blah, but its like your yearly doctor visit. Do you really wanna go? No. Do you go cause its what you gotta do? Yeah.

I think it’s normal to not be excited about getting endlessly vaccinated. The whole thing is exhausting. So is living in a semi state of emergency all the time. Not saying it hasn’t been necessary or the right thing to do, just that it’s difficult.

Looking forward to being able to get my toddler vaccinated so I can stop worrying so much and try to live a more normal life.

Small update from Denmark, Omicron 2.0 is everywhere, but in intensive care, so almost all restrictions are gone.

Me, cardiologist just gave my heart A+ and the Long Covid clinic is passing me on to physio next. Overall, I'm in a good place.

Maybe I'm in the minority about having to do it yearly as I'm so used to all my other doctors visits to my specialists that handle my Crohn's and my transplant post op. I've been dealing with my issues for 2/3s of my life (I'm 45) so the possibility of a yearly shot is nothing new and frankly second nature to me. If this is what I need to do to stay safe, do be it.

Itching and hives all over.

Sounds like an allergic rxn to something in the vaccine

 

[krider31]

Any chance they allow us to go home and quarantine again like we did in March 2020?

Did you pretreat with Benadryl before your second dose?

No

 

[biggie62]

That total lockdown thing ain’t happening again unless the virus mutates and has like 3x-5x the mortality rate than was during the spring 2020 peak. People don’t realize that governments and the supply chain would just fall apart.

Everybody looks at me funny when I tell them I'm worried about long covid...am I'm the one who's tripping off this?? Srs

“Y’all know he got caught with a variant”

 

[WASHED KING]

Famb I read this the first time that thought it was jibberish

Then I read it again and it finally clicked

Well played

COVID always slides...every...single....time.

I have not tried taking Benadryl. I have gotten the Moderna vaccine for the first 3 doses. I'll give Pfizer a shot next time and see how it goes.

I’d discuss with your provider pretreating with Benadryl, it may save you a lot of pain and suffering even if you switch it up to pfizer

 

[gregory house]

You should probably talk to a doctor about it before you get another shot (if a 4th shot is recommended)

It sounds like a mild allergic reaction, but it’s better to be safe

 

[whywesteppin]

yearly flu vaccine is already mandated at work for many people. they set up a tent or whatever for a few days. it's not bad at all.

most have very mild and short-lived side effects from the covid vaccine. lower dosage on boosters and I imagine those will be even more mild.

I imagine we'll get yearly boosters for a couple more years. hard to predict what happens after that.

[boris]

This is why I’ll take those boosters.

Having loss of taste for over a week is long enough for me, can’t imagine having symptoms that last months.
