I had the Pfizer back in April and May. After second shot, felt a little off that evening like flu type onset. Was fine in the morning.

My daughter (17) had the Pfizer as well no side affects.

My lungs got very bad some time after the Pfizer (three) shots, don't know it it's related or not, but I came up positive on a ANA blood test and am following up now to narrow it down since the ANA is a general versus a specific antibody malfunction indicator.

I'm just wondering IF those "spike proteins", "tricked" my immune system to go into overdrive to destroy my Lungs. Hmmm. Had my 3rd CT Lung scan this morning. We'll see. Waiting for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin test results as well. It's been hell, take care of your lungs. I never smoked either, nor worked with hazardous materials professionally. go figure.

I hope this shit wasn't triggered by the protein tricks this type of "new" "vaccine" did. Looking back I'd go with the Johnson vaccine instead, though at the time the great Sigforum was favoring the Pfizer over the Moderna or Johnson, the latter being the traditional antigen type of mechanism.

Got Moderna. The first shot was January 16. Second February 15. First was no p
bother. Second was fatigue with joint aches that lasted two days.
We both got the Moderna booster October 28.
Now, my plan was to get the flu shot one week and the booster shot the second. However, my wife asked about the booster and said we could save time. I think she said “It will be fun!” But she denies it.
With memories of Army shot lines I got jabbed in both arms. It was pretty much a repeat of the second Moderna shot. Fatigue, sore arms joints hurting. My wife got a lump in her arm and kept complaint. Eventually she owned that two shots wasn’t wise.I’ve been telling the “It will be fun she said” quite a few times. Funny thing, she’s the nurse and should know better.

None. Not even a sore spot arm on arm.

Same as TMats. Slight soreness at the injection site each time.
 
At the Safeway where I get my shots, the pharm tech (who has given hundreds of them) says that in general, in her experience, the older one is, the less likely one will get a severe reaction. And that's just with the Moderna, which is the only one they give.

Moderna x 2. Sore arm with both, achy and tired for a day after the second. Once that passed, nothing.

First time around with the J & J in March, I had zero side effects. Got a booster a couple of weeks ago, and felt real crappy for about four days after (fatigued, achy muscles, slight fever). My wife had the same effects as I did with both.

Pfizer x2, my sense of taste has been all wrong for months.

J&J in June. Joints hurt for a day. A month later I got COVID and felt hungover for a week. I felt fine by August.

That is interesting, since I have lost all my taste completely as well. I can't taste anything at all since the Pfizer. Don't know if related, but that's the fact for me as well.

Mrs. Fedman and I both received the two Pfizer shots and the booster. Both of us had no issues whatsoever with any of the three shots.

Wife and I both had COVID in March 2021. When we had it, the main symptom for us was fatigue. We were vaccinated in July / August 2021. I took J&J, she took Pfizer. Both of us, a day after my only shot, a day after her second shot, it put us down for 24 hours. And when I say down, I mean it kicked our ass, we felt like we had COVID again, maybe slightly worse.

Day after the shot I woke up at 7:30am, which is 90 minutes late for me. I laid down at 10am and took a nearly 2 hour nap. I laid down again 3:30pm and took a nearly 2 hour nap. I was asleep again at 9pm, slept through the night and woke feeling completely back to normal.

My wife got the shot in the evening, next day she volunteered at our kid's school for lunch. On the walk home, she was feeling tired. She was asleep at 1:30pm and slept until the next morning. And this wasn't a sleep where she got up and ate and went back to bed, or got up to use the bathroom, she slept for 17-18 hours without getting up. But when she woke up, completely back to normal.

We have noticed no effects since the extreme fatigue shortly after the shot.

Weird/interesting.

The only people I know with taste issues related to Covid have had the virus itself, whether vaccinated or not. As a matter of fact, of those I know who have had the virus (and lived to tell about it, which is most of them) the messed up sense of taste is the main lingering thing they bitch about (understandably, of course).

Are you both absolutely sure you've not had or don't have the virus?

Sore arm and a bit of a headache for 24 hours from the booster.

Moderna in Jan/Feb, Moderna booster a few weeks ago. First shot = no reaction. Second shot = about 12 hours after the shot, I started with about 12 hours of flu-like symptoms (aches, fever, chills, fatigue). Booster = sore arm, and about 12 hours after the shot, very slight headache for an hour or two.

Wife has had both Pfizer shots and booster. Felt a little fatigue after the second shot and the booster.

Children (one teen, one adult) both had two Pfizer shots (no boosters), no reactions in either.

J&J on Oct 2nd after having had covid in November 2020 and again in August 2021. I had no side effects or symptoms after the shot.

Thanks for the responses.

Because the question has been asked and implied, no, I didn’t have any ulterior agendas for starting the thread.

First, if you don’t know already how much value—or lack of value—a poll with a limited number of possible self-selected participants is for establishing anything about the population at large, you should educate yourself because you will be exposed to many, many similar efforts that are deliberately intended to influence your opinions. If I ask a question as I did, it’s with the hope that the membership would be intelligent and educated enough to know that obvious fact without my having to explain the reasons for the question. I should perhaps know better, but I don’t like to make assumptions until they’re proved.

I continue to be interested in issues relating to the COVID-19 vaccines, and in this case their effects on the people who have received them. As I stated I have had the three shots that are being recommended for people my age and my wife is scheduled to get to booster shortly. Were my experiences common? What might she experience? What might the people I care about experience? I am just as interested in learning about the bad effects as I am about reassurances that most people don’t have any.

So, thanks again to those who read and understood the original question and have responded without implying that this thread is a nefarious attempt to delude and wrongfully influence the gullible.

(As an aside, I really pity people who go through life always being suspicious of the motives of everyone else. I could ask how many people use dental floss, and someone would accuse me of supporting a dental floss maker that contributed to a Democrat politician. There are enough legitimate reasons to be concerned about the state of the Nation without inventing them out of our imaginations. )

Three Pfizer's. First two in Feb, the buster Sept. Only mild injection site soreness. I was ready and waiting for the reported reactions, but they never came. My wife had the same reactions.

Let me add; of all of the shots I've had over the years, these were the least painful of all in regard to actually taking the needle. So fast and painless I had to ask when she was going to give me the shot.

Agreed. And it's a good thread for seeing Sigforum's reaction to the shots.
I don't question the motives of anyone here; however, I remain skeptical and suspicious of the motives of our federal .gov, from Biden and Fauci and Walensky on down.

My wife and I both got the Covid in late October, 2020. She lost her sense of taste and smell, didn't get it back till about 2 months ago, IIRC, but didn't seem to have any other particularly serious effects, mostly just felt "crummy." Lack of taste and smell was miserable for her, though.

I spent a week or so in the MICU and then the Covid Ward at VA Bay Pines and was sicker than I'd ever been before. But the pretty Filipino RNs kept me supplied with ice cream.

Neither of us had been vaccinated at that time.

Fast forward to the Spring of this year and we both got the Pfizer vaccinations, her at CVS, me at the VA. No ill effects, just slightly sore arm and, with the second shot, I was kinda sickly for a day or so.

In the late Summer, I got the booster from the VA, really no effects that I recall. I listened to your input but finally decided to get it, but I don't know that I'd do it again.

Wife has not gotten the booster.

Hope we never get that stuff again.

There's a lot of info now about the immunity one may have after having the virus, but there wasn't enough for us to not get the inoculations back when they became available.

Most of those I know who have had it, Church members and friends of friends, have seemingly had mild cases, but a few have died.
