    From a layman's perspective it seems like using anything other than something completely inert as a placebo would run the risk of affecting the study.

    I hope he responds to my last post. I'm really curious on what his take it for the different reactions and why the others didn't do it like U of Oxford.

    You don’t read any links that are posted but expect a free immunology and epidemiology degree handed to you in bite sized pieces.

    Read more. Think more. Listen more. Post less.

    You know China is watching us flounder with Covid and thinking, Yeah, this is how you defeat those American fuckers. Our system can control the spread, theirs can't. Just make it 10X more deadly and the US is toast.

    I got the Pfizer vaccine in the trial. Sore arm after both injections, the only negative side effect. Positive antibody test three weeks after second injection.

    One good side effect - I can type faster now that i have 11 fingers.

    Can you post a pic where the new finger grew? I'm hoping it's to the outside of a thumb.

    Lucky you. Thanks for your service. I signed up for the Pfizer trail at U of Iowa but never heard back after I returned the qualifying survey. Guesssing either my semi frequent weekend (let down) migraines or they already had enough middle aged white dudes. Really wish I'd have gotten in. For selfish reasons.

    After the first shot, Choi felt fine, and had no idea whether she’d received the placebo or the vaccine. Her second shot, administered the following month, was a different story.

    The injection site was much more painful than when she received the first shot, and by the end of the day, she “felt light-headed, chilled, nauseous, and had a splitting headache.”

    She fell asleep, but then woke up at midnight, feeling even worse. She was feverish and could barely lift her arm, according to her description on JAMA.

    At 5:30 a.m., she woke once again and took her temperature, finding it was a scorching 40.5 degrees Celsius.

    “When I saw that I had a high fever, that's the highest fever I can ever remember having,” Choi told CTV News, “I think my initial, just gut reaction was, ‘Do I have COVID somehow?’”

    She reported her reaction to the researchers at 9 a.m. when the office opened, and was told that “a lot of people have reactions after the second injection,” and that she should keep monitoring her symptoms.

    ...

    In the case of the Pfizer vaccine, those older than 56 years of age experienced milder side-effects than the younger cohort of 18 to 55 years.
    COVID-19 vaccines have expected side-effects, but experts say they're no cause for concern

    The generation most likely to share and post on social media about their experience are the ones most affected by vax fever.

    "the highest fever I can ever remember having"

    All this voluntary systemic inflammation must be good for people!

    Any headline with "but experts say" in it is probably reason for concern.

    Meanwhile on the east coast, The New York Times feels this is the best headline they can do to instill confidence:

    "The new vaccines will probably prevent you from getting sick with Covid. No one knows yet whether they will keep you from spreading the virus to others — but that information is coming."

    Will probably
    probably.

    Who needs animal testing? There are plenty of people who want to be injected right now, no matter the consequences. They are our test animals.

    Norman Shumway, the pioneering cardiac surgeon at Stanford would be asked why his department never produced any animal studies of new heart operations. "Why use animals. I have veterans [at the VA]." (I don't approve).

    I can't wait until there are regulations in place as there are with dog and rabies vaccinations. You want to cross the border, show proof of vaccination or fuck off.

    A 5G chip implanted in all the sheeple would solve this.

    That makes two of us. I'm going to implement that rule in daily life too. You want to get together for a hike, bbq, whatever? Let's see proof you've had both rounds of the vax first, otherwise, tough luck.

    Thalidomide was pronounced safe too. No issues there.

    Daughter's opinion stems from the fact that as far as young persons go, the impact of covid is negligible. On older persons with a shorter life span, the risks of the injection may outweigh the covid risks.
    In order to properly convert this thread to a polyasshat thread to more fully enrage the liberal left frequenting here...... (insert latest democratic blunder of your choice).
