Poll of the Day > Got my second COVID shot yesterday and HOLY FUCK

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah...this one SUCKKKKKKKS. It hasn't even been 24 hours yet and I'm getting my ass kicked.

Fever, chills, nausea, muscle aches, probably the worst migraine I've ever had(I suffer from them frequently). Dry mouth, upset stomach, difficulty with motor functions, the whole nine.

This is hands down the worst I've felt in my adult life. I'm so glad that I never had COVID because what the fuck!?

Also sorry, I didn't know who to tag to let them know, just bump it?

now you have the 5g

I do feel like I'm radiating some sort of energy.

That just might be my lifeforce leaving my body.

---

Wait I thought they didnt inject you with the virus? Just a protein? What the hell

---

Ah, the lovely feel of foreign genetic material and the resulting protein production. Totally safe.

Guys, just to let you know I had the Russian Covid19 vaccination yesterday and can tell you there are absolutely no negative sideffski efectovski secundariosvki !

Going to have to mark this topic for moderation. Fear mongering and spreading lies about the vaccine will not be tolerated on this site. Enjoy your ban.

Hey, Spiderman got sick after that spider bite and look what happened to him the next morning.

---

Ah great. The chills are back. This is fun.

---

Exaggerated reactions (not you, your immune system), while not common, aren't unheard of. This is your immune system preparing for war. Give your body the rest it needs.

It's an mRNA vaccine.

---

nothing like hyperbole to make everyone nice and calm about the vaccine, ok?

---

Yeah my wife told me that the nurses that have gotten their second dose have really been knocked on their ass by it

This. Also has it been long enough for the second shot? Did you get your first one a month ago TC?

The protein initiates an immune response. Meaning you feel sick but aren't infected with anything

---

IIRC, the protean isn't just any protean, but genetic instructions that your own cells take on to reproduce parts of the virus; specifically, those knobed stalks you see in the pictures. Since they lack the genetic code for the actual infectious element of the virus, those knobs remain inert and harmless, but are still enough to alert your immune system, which will then be ready to deal with any actual coronaviruses that make their way inside you.

---

Inert or not, your body thinking you're infected can be enough to kill you. Just saying.

---

Most side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine are mild and should not last longer than a week, such as:

• a sore arm where the needle went in
• feeling tired
• a headache
• feeling achy
• feeling or being sick

You can take painkillers, such as paracetamol, if you need to.

Seems like you'll be fine. Do you have reactions to jabs normally?

---

I had Covid back in mid December and that sounds way worse than what I dealt with. Sorry you're having that kind of reaction.

---

Oh, I 100% think people should still get this shot. It just fucking sucks.

My co-worker, who is 67 was completely fine after both her doses. (In fact, I think I'm the only one this go around with adverse effects. )

I got my first shot on the 21st. The 11th was my scheduled second shot.

---

Eesh. Hope you feel better soon.

Do you know if its recommended or not that people that have had covid get vaccinated? Because if you had it you obviously already developed antibodies, but theres also been stories of people contracting covid again so idk

You arent worried about any long term effects?

---

So far, people that have already had COVID are not suggested to get the vaccine.

of a vaccine? What possible long term effects could there be?

You seem to think there's something categorically wrong with producing foreign proteins. Care to share what you know?

FatalAccident posted...

Specifically, it's a gene coding for a protein. These side effects aren't due to viral infection, they're due to the immune system mounting a response against that protein (which means the vaccine's working). Usually, the response isn't this strong, but I guess TC's got a particularly robust immune system (that, or he got his second dose early).

Oh so the chills and fever and shit is the body trying to fight off an infection that isnt actually there? Wow lol

So you don't actually have any reason to believe there's something categorically wrong with producing foreign proteins? That's an unusual admission to hear from somebody who just said there was something categorically wrong with producing foreign proteins.

Just to be clear; I got my second dose when I was recommended to.

it's really not. These are immune responses. Your immune system is working.

Flu shot can evoke strong immune responses too.

This is the first ever mass produced mrna vaccine. All others have failed in animal trials.

---

Maybe contact a doctor if you can afford it.

---

Yeah it's very cool, but, it passed the trials.
This was a gamble on the business side, because if it didn't pass, they would have shot themselves in the foot. Honestly I am really curious about that side of it, they reshapped their factories to prepare for shipping out the vaccine before it was confirmed if it would work or not, that's a giant gamble and I want to know what was going through their head.
