Some people, even younger healthy people, have a bad reaction to the vaccine but get over it. The reactions seem to be a mix of sore arm, joint pains, headache, fatigue and high temperature. They don't all get all the symptoms, some only feeling mild discomfort in their arm. I suppose that an elderly person suffering a severe reaction wouldn't overcome it so easily. That's one of the worries I have. If my sister has a bad reaction I won't know how to cope with it. She lives alone. What if the reaction starts in the middle of the night? The more I read about this, the more I worry. She's thinking she'll get a quick jab and be off to the shops the following week.
Anecdotal side effect evidence from Nurse Clare posted on barnhardt.biz. The last paragraph about Merck working on a drug to mitigatevaccine induced immune system over -reaction (.potentially causing death) is amazing. Dearest Ann, Now that the COVID vaccines have been in use for nearly 6 weeks, I thought I would check in & let you know what I’ve seen and heard. As you & your readers know, the only two vaccines for COVID on the market (Pfizer & Moderna) utilize the new mRNA technology. Both “jabs” are being administered only under Emergency Use Authorization, not full FDA approval. One can make the argument that these shots are truly experimental. Zero long term studies have been conducted; therefore, no healthcare provider can tell you these are safe because we just don’t know. There’s lots of speculation, though, about effects on fertility as well as the potential for ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement). I cannot speak definitively about those things but what I can report is the side effects I’ve already seen. Your readers have probably read media reports about the Miami OB/GYN who bled to death after his platelet count dropped precipitously following his first Pfizer vaccine dose. I can report that my colleagues across the country have seen similar scenarios (not necessarily ending in death). Numerous professional acquaintances have reported reduced platelet counts & enlarged spleens secondary to this vaccine, most likely related to a preservative, PEG (polyethylene glycol) present in both the Moderna and Pfizer shots. I predict we will see more of these sorts of reactions as the number of vaccinations increases (as well as anaphylaxis). The people I personally work with have reported the following: profuse diarrhea, vertigo, facial numbness, facial nerve pain, arm pain, reduced mobility in the arm, extreme fatigue bordering on exhaustion, muscle aches, fever (some as high as 102 & 103 degrees), hives at the injection site (curiously this seems to be a delayed reaction occurring 8 days post-vaccination). I have one coworker whose vomiting was so severe she required hospitalization with IV fluid administration. Another colleague developed atrial fibrillation, and this is not the only incident of that that I have heard of. Several colleagues throughout the U.S have reported cardiac arrhythmias after the vaccine. A family member who is an RN in another city told me 75% of the people she knows who received the Moderna vaccine were very sick the next day and most of them could not work. Of course, these are anecdotal reports but keep in mind these vaccines have only been in use for 6 weeks so anecdotal reports are all we have. The VAERS website (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) is also a source of information your readers can use. It, too, is anecdotal because it’s a self-reporting tool for patients as well as healthcare providers to report adverse events following vaccine administration. I’ve seen social media trolls trying to discourage people from visiting the VAERS website because it’s a self-reporting website. But remember, it is maintained by both the CDC and FDA to track adverse vaccine-related events. Read thru it and decide for yourself. Thus far, VAERS shows 181 deaths following COVID vaccination and nearly 8,000 occurrences of side effects severe enough to limit one’s activities of daily living. Vaccine recipients (many of whom are healthcare providers themselves) are being told these side effects are “good” and show “that the immune system is working in response to the shot”. Can we please have some logic? I’ve learned in life that if something defies common sense, almost without exception its rubbish. Vomiting is not good…it’s a defense mechanism, the body’s way of rejecting something. Vomiting in response to this vaccine should not be chalked up to “good” and a positive sign. What stunning buffoonery on the part of those believing this lie! I’m sad to see how far we’ve fallen; the gaslighting of anyone who dares question this narrative is very real. I don’t want to speculate or put out wild conspiracy theories, but yesterday I received an email from my employer that went out to all patient care providers in our health system. The email detailed an entire set of guidelines and protocols that have been developed to rapidly identify, triage, and treat people who may be suffering an allergic reaction to either of the COVID vaccines. If reactions are as rare as we are being told, then why is this necessary? If the allergic reactions are typical of other medication allergic reactions, why does a different set of standards exist? All things to make you wonder Regarding the ADE I mentioned earlier – the antibody dependent enhancement; Many scientists (almost all have been silenced & deplatformed) speculate that this vaccine will cause an enhanced response to the virus, meaning the antibodies produced will respond in a life-threatening manner when one is exposed to the virus in the wild. I have no idea if that will actually happen, but it has played out in all animal studies involving coronavirus vaccines so it is reasonable to fear such a thing in human vaccine recipients. I pray that it never comes to fruition because the consequences will be like the worst medical sci-fi horror one can imagine. Curiously, though, I read an article earlier this week that Merck has abandoned its attempts at producing a vaccine for COVID and instead will focus on “research into therapeutic drugs labeled as MK-7110 and MK-4482. The drugs aim to protect patients from the damage of an overactive immune response to the virus.” Really??? Is Merck playing 4D chess with its competitors who might be the cause of such hyper-immune responses, or is this a ploy to benefit Big Pharma on all sides, meaning one sells you the vaccine and the other one sells you the antidote? I don’t know and one can only speculate but it sure seems interesting. I myself am avoiding this vaccine & I advise others to do the same. Sadly, several of my family members have chosen otherwise. Please pray for them and be assured of my prayers for you. Yours in Christ, Nurse Claire
Also dolours she will be able to transmit the disease so if you are helping her take precautions to protect yourself from transmission.
I don't plan on taking the shot. But all of this anecdotal evidence is just that, anecdotal. Complicating this is that so many of these cases are elderly people who would naturally be at great risk of dying anyway. I doubt any unbiased studies will emerge documenting the actual risks associated with the vaccines controlled for age and existing conditions.
The doctor I heard yesterday on main stream media said that after taking the vaccine a person would still be able to transmit Covid and get sick with Covid. So why is this vaccine being pushed? I’m not taking it.
I think I actually have Covid right now, as I've been sick for the past 5 days and just completely lost my sense of smell and taste today. Luckily I seem to be over the worst of it.
PF i will pray for you at Mass this morning. But watch out for the next 5/6 days. Thats when it can get bad. Take great care. God bless.
Yes! I heard the same on a radio talk show this morning. Something is wrong with this picture. The Covid 19 vaccine will be no more effective than the flu vaccine, and even worse because of the severe reactions. They have to make an educated guess to determine what strains will be included in the flu shot every year, so if they can’t get the seasonal flu shot right, why on earth would we be confident in the Covid vaccine. They are pretending to win a war against this virus and it is not going to happen.They are already speculating that the vaccine may not be effective against the African variant. The focus needs to be on good treatment for Covid, as well as getting people to enhance their immunity with the proper supplements.
I had some reassuring news today. Spoke to a lady in her late 80's who lives in the UK and had the first dose of a vaccine a week or two ago. She suffered no reaction. She doesn't know when she will get the second dose but thinks she will have to wait a month or two. PS to Purple Flower, I'm praying that you will make a speedy recovery.
Thank you. It's been harder than I thought to not be able to taste anything. I made mint tea this morning and it tasted like plain hot water. My husband gave me coffee and it tasted like slightly sweet water. Food is just tasteless textures, which makes me sad. But what a golden opportunity to get a good start on fasting, which I've been asking God for the willpower to do. I love food too much.
I wonder, in a way if these deaths of our elderly may not be an act of kindness by Our Blessed Lord? I think of my own parents and how shocked and saddened they would be by much that we are seeing in the World but more so in the Church today. It was not their generation that turned Apostate and betrayed Our Lord, now they are safely home to their Eternal Reward. But as for us who remain here below in this Valley of Tears we face a time of terrible persecution and great trials on so many levels. Personally I am very much up for forward and always wanted to die a martyr. As to trials , bring them on , these are the high roads to sanctity. I am full of joy and anticipation. Let us roll up our sleeves, bring on the struggle. But I would not say I am typical in this. Nevertheless I can see the Hand of God in all that is going down. Certainly Satan is in the ascendant and appears to be winning everywhere. But even Lucifer is a slave of Jesus. God turns great evil into good.
a good spiritually positive attitude like yours means you are cured already. Water of a duck's back, Prayers to Our Lady anyway. Don't forget to offer it all up.
Love the way you take it in your stride. Hope you're in contact with your doctor. He/she might be able to prescribe some medicine to have on hand should you need it.
Your taste should come back slowly but surely. I know of some people who went through this. My son is still dealing with that himself.
PF, My wife, Geralyn, has yet to get her sense of taste back to normal - a symptom that our son, Danny experienced also. He was the one who first came down with covid-19, and his taste has returned to normal. Geralyn says it's tough to gauge her cooking because she often taste-tests throughout until she's happy with the finalized dish. She says with a little humor, "It's like shooting in the dark!" I'll let you know when her sense-of-smell returns. Safe in the Refuge of the Immaculate Heart!
