Why would you want to do that. I surely doubt that you can double vaccinate against Covid. But at the moment that hasn't even been suggested? Phillipa

The existing vaccines don't protect so well against the brazilian and south african variant and there may be more new variants in the future.

> Anyone received one of the available Covid vaccines. Please share experience both good and bad. And which vaccine did you receive? Or did you decide not to get one and if so why? And finally who has had Covid? Thanks Phillipa
Got the 1st dose of pfizer vaccine. Arm was a little sore the next day, that's all.
My vax site was incredibly efficient. In and out in 30 minutes and they probably did 1000 people while I was there.

That's fantastic. If you get side effects please write them on here. Been almost two weeks now since the Johnson & Johnson vaccine no reaction. Phillipa

> I don't feel that is fact about the fetus being a shall be say foreign object in a female's uterus. It's a combination of the Father's DNA and the Mother's DNA but might be more of one or the other.
Oh. I think it is a fact insofar as the foetus is some percentage of fathers DNA and not mothers DNA. If you were to take something from the father and implant it in the mother (a kidney, a heart, a lung, a face, an arm) then you would need to give the mother immunosuppressant medication to prevent her body from attacking the implant as foreign. There is a barrier between the mother and the foetus, usually, to prevent her rejecting it on the grounds that it is some percentage of immunologically alien...
But when she gives birth she becomes exposed to the foetus. Yeah, I'm remembering... (From books not IRL experience lolz)...
There are many different kinds of auto-immune disorders (also many different kinds of immune responses -- I think 5 from memory)... Mmm... Sometimes they are linked. Same mechanism. Other ones aren't linked.
Some women do have autoimmune disorders and they are okay with vaccinations. It depends... ANd we are still learning a lot about all this stuff...
I am not sure about hormones and autoimmune. I have been reading a lot about lifetime estrogen exposure and various cancers... But not hormones and autoimmune diseases in females... It might be to do with hormones -- but I had not heard that. I don't know why I got it into my head that it was something to do with child bearing / birthing, particularly. I might be going beyond (reaching) I might be wrong. I have a notion... Is all... I don't know where I formed that idea... Need to learn more...
> Back to covid and blood clots you piqued my interest in what is in those blood clots that form during the illness.
Yes. There are different kinds of antibody. IgG... IgM... IgM is for clumping? I think. Clumpy clumps of whatever it grabby grabs... I don't know how the body knows to make IgG and not IgM...
I read something today trying to explain about clumps. It didn't make sense. It prompted me. I don't make sense lolz. I'm thinking about it... How it could be inducing clumping...
Misfolded proteins... If the body starts cranking out antibodies... Maybe producing light chain and heavy chain the wrong radios then they tend to form clumps / misfold. A kind of prion disorder.
The clumps can lodge in the kidneys and the lungs. That was the first problem with Covid? What the people were actually dying of... Clots in the lungs and they found in the kidneys too... Clumps of what?? Antibody? I wondered... Misfolded antibody??
(NOt about the attaching to platelets and then resulting in platelet insufficiency -- that would result in bleeding out... NOt clumping... But yeah so much to remember... The freaking names of all the things. ALL THE THINGS. lolz).
I did not know about rashes... Hmm. I don't know about that.
It is hard to say, Phillipa. Because you do get random events. And we are talking lots of doses of all the different vaccines that have been given, now. It's like how you do hear about people being struck by lightening or whatever occasionally... But these serious side effects (all non lethal so far??) Are very very rare when you consider how many people have been vaccinated thus far.
And things could start looking different with respect to 'which is best' down the track. We just don't know...
They have all gone through an approvals process etc. They are all likely to be okay.

I have to say that the first BionTech/Pfizer shot yesterday hit me pretty hard. I didn't get a placebo, that is for sure. It is not pleasant, but I guess it will pass.

No placebos being used now trials are over. People are the animal studies. You got the real shot. And what is your age as the younger you are the stronger the side effects?

Soreness where the shot was administered, headache, somnolence. General feeling of malaise. A bit like after a night out drinking.

I would describe it as 65% of the malaise you would have with a cold. Minus respiratory symptoms. Today is better though. Colds really mess up my mood.

Glad you feeling better today. Now which we had a scientific person on here that could explain in baby steps how the mrna and the viral vector vaccines work. I can't make heads or tales out of how the really work? Can you? Phillipa

Not really. They are pretty strong though. I don't know of any other vaccine that elicited such a strong reaction.

I have to wonder of course no scientific knowledge since a piece of the virus is inserted could it give you a tiny case of Covid and then the vaccine other parts go to working killing it hence the reactions. I came up with this theory last night? Thoughts? Philipa

It contains the genes of the spike protein. The Virus uses it to attach to our cells. So the spike protein itsself can't give you Covid, because the body of the Virus is missing. The reaction is just an immune reaction. That is what I have been told

In reply to Re: Who has gotten a Covid Vaccine Experiences?, posted by Lamdage22 on May 1, 2021, at 10:29:14
If the body has antibodies against the spike protein, the virus can't attach itsself to cells. Something like that.

I must say, I am not feeling good and it is day 4 after the Pfizer vaccine.

I got the Pfizer vaccine today. I had expected the second dose of the Astra-Zeneca.

So you had one dose of Astra Zeneca & one dose of Pfizer then? So the doses are being mixed then? You in Europe? Phillipa
