Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Mrs BiM and I got jabbed on Friday, Oxford AZ; Mrs BiM sees to have suffered a bit of a gastric reaction, which we believe is what she suffered from when she caught Covid. I have nothing to report other than a sore arm at the injection site.

Nurse doing the jab said they have had a few suggesting they would have preferred the Pfizer, but no actual refusals. Whoever gave the analogy regarding the first lifeboat, it made her smile & may be used again.

The whole process took a little longer than suggested but was smooth & well organised. Well done the NHS and the volunteers. (y)

Ah that's great to hear you've all had it. Police should be higher up the list IMO. Hope you've been looking after them both or was it a takeway?! I had the chills for 24 hours but they went quite fast.
 
Even if it would give PE, that’s roughly 1 in a million based on the numbers.
People seem to be taken paracetamol with the vaccine, try Aspirin then.

And based on the covid recovery descriptions, some people seemed to have developed PE during recovery of covid as well.
 
I'm no conspiracy theorists but as soon as astrazeneca said they was making the vacine at non profit I said to my colleagues "they'll find a way to discredit astrazeneca" so people buy their drugs.

Prepped a lovely Sunday dinner for Missis T, I was cooking it as soon we we got back from parents. Got to me mums and she was making pork dripping fat ( honest to god) the smell was sickening. After 10 mins, with me mending the toilet seat in that time, Missis T said “ we have to go” she did not feel well. We got home and she fell asleep from 1-5 pm. She has had a salad butty with today’s dinner tomorrow.??
 
If you take a 1 million people over 60 who have taken the vaccine, and 1 million who haven't. Due to the age and numbers they'll be natural incidents of clots, heart attacks and other issues on both sides. The difference is one is newsworthy, the other isn't.

Like I said above, the likelihood is that there is indeed no relationship here, but in my opinion, when reports come in to a respected regulator, they should be taken seriously and evaluated, because serious safety issues sometimes start with a few reports.

There is also a difference looking at the broad data and saying that the rate of this event is no higher than the unvaccinated population, and dealing with an event which has unusual features and trying to figure out what is going on.

It is a bit like saying that pilot error rarely causes plane crashes, but if a plane does crash, the possibility it was pilot error is a real one. The two statements are perfectly compatible.

Even if a safety link between vaccine and the event is found (and I repeat I think that is unlikely,. and if it occurs it is very rare), they doesn't mean the benefit-risk of the vaccine is materially changed.

I truly don't believe Germany is playing mind [political] games in calling a halt to using the AZ jab...
Fairly certain it'll be data driven... They need an out from Covid just the same as the rest of us do...

I am sure they are not. The German regulator is known to be a bit pernickety. I have just finished dealing with a set of queries from them on a clinical trial in a totally different condition, and involving an EU company's EU-made product. Exactly the same approach. They are thorough, cautious and precise.
 
Reports that EU is in talks to place an order of Russia Sputnik vaccine, amid AstraZeneca 'safety fears'. Even though European Medical Agency has expressed concerns about lack of data for Sputnik, and Brussels is on the record suggesting Russian jab is a propaganda tool. Just wow.

My jab is tomorrow. Wondering if the lastest scares on AZ will result in some no-shows. More for us I say and if they come back for more in the future we should tell them we're giving it away to countries that can't afford it. They won't like it up em!

I had my vaccine today - was the AZ

They said a few asked questions but no one turned it down so far

Do you think they're postponing vaccinations with AZ because they're making some kind of gesture because it's British?
