Are you really prepared to take every single vaccine

It worries me that we may have to keep having vaccines going forward. I’m due my booster which I will take but I’m hearing that AZ are in the process of tweaking the current vaccine to combat the new strain. So we are then required to take another booster. Many variants can crop up, suppose another one does very soon. I’m concerned about the number of vaccines we could be taking. Is anyone else? And no I’m not an anti vaxer.

@nannykatherine

Had my booster on Friday amd spent the weekend completely wiped out I could not move Slept Ached Headache Ruined my weekend So no
2 days of being wiped out vs potentially devastating illness from covid? And you'd risk the latter??

I think you're nuts personally. I'd take 2 days of being wiped out twice a year if it prevented me from getting full blown flu...But then like many people here I know what genuine illness is like and 2 days of bed rest isn't even a drop in the ocean.

I’ve booked mine for a Monday so it won’t ruin my weekend (other than the stress of knowing I’ve got to have it)

Ruined my weekend
So no

Kind of says it all, really.

pointythings · 29/11/2021 21:49

I had my booster on the 15th of October. My flu jab on the 16th. Had a bit of a headache and felt a bit tired. Did my usual weekend stuff. Was fine by Monday.

Anecdata.

Voice0fReason · 29/11/2021 21:50

Yes, no different to the annual flu jab for me.

ollyollyoxenfree · 29/11/2021 21:52

Batshit in which way?

@Smokeyfish

Batshit in that in a single page you have claims that vaccines can cross the BBB, cause changes to neuronal DNA and exert "mind control"(from somone with a PhD no less) and that someone needed to have his "heart removed" after vaccination to deal with a blood clot.

I find your posts that "vaccines are useless" far more harmful though!

ollyollyoxenfree · 29/11/2021 21:53

Yes @Claudethecat, same posting style!

CrocodilesCry · 29/11/2021 21:56

Board is rife with it at the moment. No doubt MN won't ban even the obvious trolls that have had posts removed. Including the melt with the PHD.

DameFanny · 29/11/2021 21:57

@ilovemygirls

Absolutely not. The first one gave me a stroke & I haven’t been able to leave the house for much this year. The top consultants and specialists know it’s not needed… and it’s certainly not needed for our children, unless they ha e a compromised immune system. I’ve met many people who have suffered strokes and heart attacks since I’ve been on this slippery slope & I’m now wondering what this is really all about. I was a fit, active person - who is having to rebuild everything. This is happening, but we’re not allowed to speak out - and we can’t get compensation or claim on health insurance because we knew the risks (I wasn’t informed before) and the companies are protected.
Well hello @ilovemygirls, is that the same stroke the stress gave you before? Didn't you say you wouldn't have the jab anyway?
Are you really prepared to take every single vaccine
Northsoutheastwest76 · 29/11/2021 22:07

@DameFanny yeah another one.
Was it about 10 years ago @ilovemygirls since you have apparently been single that long.

I had covid. Headache 24/7 for two weeks, vomiting, dizziness and fatigue for 8 weeks, hospital 8 days, couldn't walk for 3 weeks. Ruined my entire summer. So a bad weekend would be fine by me. Having said that I've had three doses with zero reactions.

My stroke was recent - as a direct result as the jab. This has now been proven. You’re very welcome to see my notes. And yes, I broke up with my ex over 10 years ago now. Do you think the stress from a controlling relationship just disappears overnight? It doesn’t. Q
Quite prepared to show you my medical records… and doctors reports… I can even put you in touch with two 19 year olds who were in hospital at the same time as me after suffering strokes. Or the fit, healthy teacher who will never walk again. I find this site very weird and very unsupportive… and judgemental. Just ask me, rather constantly attack because I don’t agree with you. Why would you come on here & feel the need to attack others all the time? How bizarre. But you continue to take your 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th jab… let your children have it too. I give up trying to educate people! Come back to me in 20 years & tell me you still feel you’ve made the right decision then.
Every child has been exposed to this “virus” already. They are absolutely fine. You really think the richest, most powerful people in the world care if you or your child lives or dies?! They really don’t give a damn - you’re just a number.
So no - I won’t be taking any more Covid jabs. This is about much more than just one virus… there are BILLIONS of viruses. You really think the whole world is being controlled because of ONE virus?! Common sense really is a thing of the past here on mumsnet. The place where all the perfect mummy’s go to brag & talk about whether they are being unreasonable for being oh so annoyed because a car is parked near their driveway! Dear god!

Interesting statement right here-

Every child has been exposed to this “virus” already

But it backs up this one I suppose-

Puzzledandpissedoff · 29/11/2021 22:54

Speaking of flu jabs, when I asked about mine I was told not to have a Covid booster within 7 days of it

Is this usual, does anyone know? Only I keep reading about folk having both jabs at the same time, which obviously doesn't fit the same pharmacistadvice

wheresmymojo · 29/11/2021 22:55

Yep.

Have the flu vaccine every year.

Have had numerous other vaccines for MMR, TB, tetanus and diphtheria.

Have had 3 x COVID vaccines.

Will take whatever other vaccines modern science suggests are worth having on a benefit/risk basis and be abso-fucking-lutely thankful for them.

My toasts at Xmas and New Year this year will be to the scientists.

I had mine on the same day and was told that was fine by the Dr who gave me my COVID jab.
wheresmymojo · 29/11/2021 22:56

Pro tip - have them in the same arm. That way if you have an achey arm there's at least one side you can still sleep on (I did not think that through with mine!)

Vaccines are one of humankind's most crowning achievements. It's appalling that so many are incapable of understanding that.

Okay then. I'll call your bluff

Yes please to the medical records. I'll wait.

Bertiebiscuit · 29/11/2021 22:59

Of course, only an idiot turns down good free clinically proven medecine that prevents illness and possible death - you'd have to be insane to turn it down

gogohm · 29/11/2021 23:01

I suspect in time it will be incorporated into the flu vaccine

How was it proven that the stroke was a direct result of the jab? Who proved it and by what method? I am genuinely interested.

@Smokeyfish

He is alarmed at the way any sort of debate or questioning of the accepted ‘line’ on vaccines is being shut down.
