Had my annual Covid vaccine shot the previous Monday. Usually I stay with Pfizer but the pharmacy was out of that brand, so I figured the vaccines are all the same.
Nope, after the fact, not all the same. Oh how I wished I would have stayed with Pfizer as the side effect was only 24 hours of being so very tired. This time, with the other Pharma, I was tired for almost a week.. had trouble sleeping for 5 days... wasn't hungry... stomach wasn't a happy camper... and I was snarling at hubby. Hubby's side effects lasted 3 days.
So, if you plan to get a Covid vaccine, stay with the brand you have previously used, if the side effects were mild or no effects at all. And note if a love one you are caring for try to get the same brand.
I didn't get one last year, actually probably wouldn't this year, but we are flying in January.
My own doctor told me, since I have mastectomy on right and take all injections (11 so far) in left arm that my covid vac now should be no more than once a year booster. That after I showed up with a new triple negative breast cancer near left axilla in left breast last February.
We don't KNOW yet what long term is on this stuff. My SIL in a study now regarding his getting a huge blood clot in his lung with no predisposing factors. They are saying long covid? Maybe? No idea.
Another friend in a Long Covid study as well.
We have to be careful out here. Do what we choose making our best guesses with our own docs but so far this IS guesswork.
Right now, unless to cull the herd of very old and very ill, covid is not appreciably killing anyone. Here and likely here to stay but greatly weakening. I wish all best of luck with their own choices. I am the last to say I know anything.
But one case of anything one way or another, means not much.
Just as one can’t say the vax exacerbated their cancer, nor can one say that in her case the vax cured it.

Jwellsy, VAERS has only reported a miniscule amount of adverse side effects, in reality. Vaccinated folks I know have also gotten the virus multiple times, except my DH and I who have never had it. My DD has had it 5x. I have seen no upside to the shots myself, fwiw. Just a lot of real issues, deaths and cancers. We were forced to get the vaccines bc the Mayo Clinic would not give dh a liver transplant unless we did. Sad but true.
I've said my peace since I doubt FFs post was intended to start a discussion about whether the covid "vaccines" are a good or bad thing. We all already know they do not protect us from the virus, that much is certain.
The insurance company actuaries around the world are tracking excess mortality rates very closely. Their data varies wildly compared to what Google will say.
Anyone can go to https://howbadismybatch.com and find out how many adverse side effects have been reported to the CDC's VAERS data base from other people that received the same batch numbers. Scroll down that page for a mountain of information. The embalmer testimonies on blood clots are very interesting.
The results of MRNA animal testing is well documented.
I've had a very different experience with the people I know. 8 vaccinated people I know have developed heart issues in the past 3 years. The vast majority of the people I know that came down sick were vaccinated and they came down with it multiple times. The unvaccinated people that I know that got it, got over it in just a couple of days.
I've been in close contact with several cases. But, I use a dilute povidone iodine nasal spray (sometimes twice a day) to kill these kind of things where they collect and breed.
I have several strong religious objections to these MRNA nanoparticle shots. So for me I see no upside, only risks to taking it.
But I agree with lea we will not know for 10-15 years.
We all just need to educate are selves and figure out what's best for us on a personal level

I personally feel I got stage 4 metastatic melanoma due to 3 covid shots. My oncologist agrees, as he's seen a staggering number of cancer cases since the roll out of these shots.
The truth will come out in 15 years when all the "random" deaths at 35 for no good reason will be attributed to covid "vaccines".
I do know covid can cause long term issues, Long covid. I know many people that have had covid. Out of them, I know 3 that have long term effects from covid, those 3 had no vaccine.
That's why I believe the covid vaccine is right for me.
I don't judge either way or have an opinion on those who don't, but they are right for me.
I've had COVID twice since my original 2020 vaccines/boosters, was coughing for a solid 6 weeks. Quick and easy shots and done. Not going thru months of coughing again!
I'm probably jinxing myself, but I've never had Covid to the best of my knowledge, though could have had an asymptomatic case. I'm not unusually cautious and have had a couple of close exposures. Maybe I have the gene variant that helps protect from Covid infection.
Interesting, when I had covid I couldnt sleep, at all. Sat up all night watching, Little House on the Prairie.
