Anyone had a COVID jab lately??

Not had one since 2021 but earlier this yr was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease so might explain why every time I have had COVID it it has knocked me for 6 with post viral fatigue for weeks. So considering the jab.

I just want to weigh up any side effects tho, the only issue I had with the vaccine previously was that I had a lot of disturbances to my menstrual cycle. Had a horrendous time with perio lasting weeks and being so heavy and really long cycles in between.

I'm getting mine next week. I've taken every jab I've been offered in the past.
Same with flu jabs for the past decade. Side effects for both are always just a sore arm for a couple of days and sometimes tiredness.
I caught Covid once and it was truly awful, I was bedridden and wiped out for 10 days. Flu is also miserable. Thank god/science for vaccines (though I'm aware the Covid one doesn't necessarily stop you getting it).

Never again. There's something very unnatural about those jabs.

I have a couple of autoimmune diseases and have the Covid injection every 6 months. I’ve never had Covid - as far as I know. And I used to test quite a bit.

I was going to drop back to yearly injections but my husband was diagnosed with cancer and is having chemo and immunotherapy so it will remain at 6 monthly intervals for now. I’m due to have it again soon. Hopefully they’ll come up with a yearly vaccine.

Deaths are up since the Covid jab. Sudden deaths are up 30%. You have all seen people having heart attacks, strokes all over the country and doctors are baffled. The flu vaccine is claimed to work about 40% of the time. How can they test it if people only get flu about once in 10 years. One study showed that people who get the flu vaccine are more likely to get flu.

Sure they have, Liz.

Deaths went down all over the world - even countries that didn’t have the jab because the virus had become less problematic for humans.

edited to say I’ve quoted the wrong person!

Edited

Deaths reduced in 2021-22 because many of the people who were going to die around that time, as they were old or sick, were killed early by Covid.

Honestly, you don't need to be a public health expert to figure that out.

In places with comprehensive vaccine programmes, the mortality rates reduced almost immediately even after adjusting for this.
