With respect Pastanred, go and tell the families of people that lost loved ones to blood clots that it was in their head, meaning anxiety-driven thoughts. To the rest of the ppl that post here, please never ignore your symptoms, many of the people that passed away if you read their loved one's articles you can see that people around them including hospital staff undermined their symptoms, the last women that I read about was told to go home by the hospital and take ibuprofen, so she did and a few days later she passed away from the clot. if you are ever going to be wrong about misreading or imagining symptoms, I suggest a vaccine that has killed a few people is the one to start with. Please do not place any value to the comments of ppl who contradict what specialists , medical professionals and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization ( NACI) are saying, if you have persistent headaches, stomach ache, breathing issues ect beyond 4 days from vaccination seek medical advice. The NACI has said the clots linked to AstraZeneca are rare, but real, and people have an individual choice if they would rather wait to take the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines. Please remember ppl keep saying the clots are rare, but some ppl are passing away because of them, so it is left up to you to decide what vaccine you want. Ignore ppl that say you are imagining your symptoms and listen to medical experts telling you to be alert about your symptoms past a certain period after AstraZeneca shot and to be proactive, we canadians have a Federal Advisory Committee the NACI, they are there to advise us and they said that the effects from AstraZeneca are real and are not seen with the other vaccines and if you want to wait depending on your area . For those who have taken the shot, please always watch for your symptoms between 4-28 days , apparently this is the cycle period that if anything is going to happen, this is the period to be attentive in. I would never tell anyone that you are imagining your symptoms, research has proven that women are more prone to the side effects with AstraZeneca than men, good luck to all of us as Covid does not discriminate. I only wish we could demand from our government to find scientists in Canada that can develop a safe vaccine , not one that has a rare risk of killing you and it has killed people, that is crazy, demand better from our scientists.
PS. Pastanred, I am very happy for you that you are just fine and have not experienced any more side effects, sincerely very happy for you. I respect that you have the right to express your thoughts, I just want everyone to know who are experiencing or imagining their symptoms that I hope you get better soon, as we are at a time in this world that Covid has made us so paranoid and anxieties are at their peak, but again ask the experts about anxieties, they are very real to people, I will support everyone who says they have symptoms and I pray to all of you and to our great Country, just please do not ignore or undermine your symptoms. Make wise and informed choices and do not let anyone tell you what is best for you and your families. I know two people whose symptoms have lasted 3 weeks, and it was not in their head as verified by medical experts.
I pray for everyone's safety,
.
