Covid Booster Vaccination – Any post shot effects?

Everyone should also be aware that FDA is pulling the emergency use authorization for the RT-PCR assay on Dec. 31st. This was quietly announced by CDC in July. The reason I mention this is because cycle counts used are absurd and likely result in a high number of false positives, and there is trouble differentiating Sars-Cov-2 from seasonal influenza using this assay (see CDC link for full information).

CDC link: https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html

The reason I being it up is because we’ll likely see a major reduction in “covid numbers” after Dec. 31st and continuing to wane throughout the year, righ along into the midterms when the administration declares “victory over the pandemic”.

No shots no booster for us. My son caught the vid a few months back so they said. He had the sniffles for 1 day and took a nap which was odd. No one else in the house got any form of symptoms. So we took the paid time off and camped secluded on the river.
Figured if you can spread it just as easily with the shot and it didn’t effect us, then no need to take the high risk and get the jab. Seeing the new strain now is mainly getting people who are vaccinated. So I’ve read at least. Just like the flu shot and everything else. We opt out. I have asthma so I am high risk, so they say

Other that a sore arm or a fever for a couple hours to a day or so … I do not know of anyone with any other side effects from the covid shots or boosters. Ages 20 – 91. Includes a lot of people and some pretty far reaching friends of friends …

Me … 12 hour fever after J&J … nothing after Pfizer booster … Vikes – Packer game next day … maybe I wasn’t going to let it get me down.

Let’s keep the discussion on side effects after the booster.

Those chosing not to vax can comment on the other thread.

Both my mother and my MIL went to the hospital almost exactly 3 weeks after each of their boosters with heart issues.

I’m all about coincidences but I’m severely doubting this one.

I guess I’m just beyond caring what happens to some of you non Vaxer’s, it’s your life and your own family you’re playing Russian Roulette with now. Good luck.

Stuck in March. Positive in august. Literally everyone I know who’s had it in the last few months are the ever so “rare” breakthrough cases…

But was that your first time with covid?

I’m wondering if someone who had previously had Covid and then vax’d has got Covid again?

I believe what is becoming more and more evident is getting the vaccine does not prevent you from getting covid, it mainly prevents you from getting really sick when you get covid.

Gee my heart is just broken.

Sore arm for a day after the booster. Shingles vaccine was as bad as a tetanus shot. I heard shingles is a pain in the posterior. Hope to avoid it.

I had two Moderna shots and a Pizer booster.
After the first shot my arm was a little tender the next day.
That’s the total effect of my three dozes.

This is off topic as well but an important question.. Does anyone know an individual that has contracted covid twice?? Just curious. I do not know anyone myself.

My aunt. Second time was far worse the the first.

Do you know if she was symptomatic the first time as well?

Good luck to you.

Russian roulette?! Lol. Maybe if you are fat and old. With my age and health my chances of dying are like .000001. The vax shaming cracks me up.

I did the number last night for $hits and giggles. MN population under 40, total deaths of that age demo, assuming half of population has had covid, (most safe assumptions were 1/3 at the end of 2020), makes out to be around 1 of 1%.

Hospitalizations are another argument entirely, and I think THE main concern of most folks nowadays FOR the vaxx. Government failure on all levels, thru decades of past administrations, to properly secure and add soldiers in a war against a bug where everyone knew there would be casualties. Retrain, crosstrain, adding personal to fight is crucial, they failed.

Brits over time always had interesting ways of recruiting soldiers on their lil island fighting war after war. We should’ve taken some history lessons.

Afterthought, that particular age demo has had the greatest benefit of medical attention, being young and healthy enough to fight off covid when given a chance. This is purely conjecture.

Kevin Stefanski, the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, recently tested positive. He was positive last season too and the NFL required him to be vaccinated prior to the season’s start. I am not sure if he received a booster shot though.

SI NFL reported that Stefanski has been vaccinated and received a booster.

There is some push to postpone the Browns game tomorrow however they have an issue. This is the only game scheduled for tomorrow and the NFL has no way to fill this slot with a different game. So for sake of broadcast they might have to play without a quarterback and half the O line because forfeiting this game is not an option.

She was and was the reason she got tested. She’s not one to go get tested after having a close contact.

I read that they intend to start 3rd string QB Nick Mullens because backup QB Case Keenum has also tested positive.

There is a lot of positive cases in the NFL right now. Washington and the LA Rams both have sizable outbreaks. Washington is in a similar situation to Cleveland in that both their starting and backup QBs are out so they will be starting a 3rd string against the Eagles on Sunday.

The NFL has made itself clear this season. They will not be postponing games and rescheduling games like they did last season. Hopefully this doesn’t occur in January when the playoffs start.

One common thing I’ve been hearing about a lot of the current Covid cases is, that Lots of those who are now testing positive are people who had recently been ill with things like the common cold and Flu’s. With many doc’s saying this is going to be a real bad cold and flu season – Partly to blame from a lot of people not being exposed and thus gaining natural immunity last season due to all the Social distancing, and Masking. It just seems like if there are more colds and flu’s and you body is already Run down and comprised from those illness’s that you are more likely to contact covid if you come in contact with it.

I just finished my “quarantine” this week after testing positive. Missed my last weekend of muzzleloader because I didn’t feel up to it. I’m a woods walker and just didn’t have the energy. No Jab for me.

Keep in mind that a lot more people were working from home and most schools were distant learning a year ago. Just putting people back together in and of itself is going to drive transmission of any pathogen. The fact is, flu prevalence is still pretty low compared to a normal year. Especially in MN.

For people under 40 you really are not getting the vaccine for yourself. The chance of u having issue if your healthy are very low. The benefits are for the people around you who are older,immune compromised, or sickly. People vaccinated are less likely to spread covid.

Thanks that’s what I figured, but a lot of people get tested for a myriad of reasons. The reason I asked was Joe Rogan had Dr. Peter McCullough on recently who said you can’t get it twice (along with a number of other questionable things), and said 2 positives was likely one false positive, which would not be the case if symptomatic. I like hearing a variety of opinions supported by facts, but Dr. McCullough presented a few things that were just false.

Not so sure about that one…..

No side effx from my booster–sore arm for maybe a day

So, they should get vaccinated then if high risk.

“less likely”
Yeah, 10# trilene xt is less likely to break off on a 60# sturgeon than 8# line…. but neither line has any reasonable success rate of landing that fish.

0.001, 0.0001…. whatever

Myself included but this is a red flag. Someone can make a prediction that turns out to be false or someone can clearly speculate and end up being wrong. When someone passes something off as fact that is clearly false, those are huge red flags to me.

my aunt’s example is anecdotal like everything in this thread but there is a lot of data out there. The early reinfection data was derived from genomic sequencing. Basically confirming that the second infection was of a different genetic makeup as the first. This was difficult because there was little genomic sequencing at the beginning but is absolute proof that reinfections were occurring. This was back in the summer of 2020. Not sure how they determine reinfection today though.

The consensus is that immune response from infection can be strong for some and very weak to nonexistent for others. Severity of illness was one of the correlations with immune response. The problem, the immune response varies widely when compared to vaccination.

Immunity is critical to ending this pandemic. Dangerous variants are born in people who have very long illnesses. If you can significantly reduce those long illnesses or prevent infection through immune response, you greatly reduce the chance of variants occurring.

It’s possible omicron is our way out of this since there is still going to be a large portion of the population that won’t get vaccinated but the cost of this running through the population is unknown. This variant is showing it significantly reduces effectiveness of prior immunity from infection and initial vaccination regimen. Although all signs so far point to less severe disease, we don’t know yet if the increased transmissibility and immune evasion will lead to increased hospitalizations and deaths. It likely will but how much is the big question.

It could also just fizzle out without reason just like many other waves have.

Have any of you been clued into this site: https://covidestim.org/us/MN/27145
Its very interesting to show the curves of our neighboring states and counties. They really follow each other pretty much.
I have been looking at this site fairly often since early Summer. When they say values below 1.0 mean cases will drop in the near future its generally been true.
If you look at it often though its weird because the value can jump around. I believe that is due to delays in testing results.
