What are your hearing about vaccine side effects? Have done a quick Google sounds as if worse with Moderna than Pfizer, but Moderna more effective?

Gosh - I seem to have typed it all into the title!! What have you heard?

I've reacted badly to some vaccines in the past and not at all once, so Im keen to find one that has less side effects.

But I'm a bit concerned if it is less effective!!

Also not sure about availability - as if it is Pfizer, it seems to be in shorter supply??

I nowhave heart issues which (according to my cardiologist ) are more likely than not to have been caused by the vaccine.😟

Did you have palpitations after your vaccines?

I didn't have any palpitations after the first few jabs but I've had palpitations a few days after the last two or three jabs that I had, but only for a few days and now I'm fine.

Yes, palpitations eventually diagnosed as benign ectopic heartbeats. But they can also develop after catching Covid and have flared up again after I caught Covid in September.

Thanks, so how long did you have them for after the vaccine, was it days or weeks?

I am trying to decide whether to have any more vaccines. My husband has had all the vaccines too but has not had any issues at all.

I'm still getting them. They did subside, then I caught Covid and have returned with a vengeance. The cardiologist wouldn't advise me one way or the other about continuing to be vaccinated.
Anecdotally, women do seem to be affected more.

Yes, that's the issue. If I get them after the vaccines, would I get them even worse after covid if I had not had the vaccines?

How old are you? I'm 58.

My BIL who has a medical background, but not a doctor said that there is evidence that having too many mRNA vaccines could cause problems, so he has stopped having them even though he is in his 80s.

It is so difficult to know what to do for the best.

It's really difficult to decide. I have definitely suffered with Covid more because I wasn't re-vaccinated.

I'm a few years older than you.
I probably will have a vaccine again in the future as a result of my recent experience. Wishing you well, whatever you decide.

”I don't much care if anti vacciners don't want to have it, but I wish they'd leave those of us that do, the hell alone.”

wow have you forgotten how those who dared to question these so-called “vaccines” a few years ago were treated?

From being called an anti-vaxxer and guilt tripped for not taking it, coercion was everywhere from mainstream media, politicians and just about anyone foolish enough to swallow the narrative hook, line and sinker. So please stop with the “ leave us alone” crap.

Many people tried to warn about the inevitable impending medical scandal but were instead made to feel like outcasts in society. Chickens come home to roost.

I didn’t swallow any narratives but listened to medical and scientific experts. I also volunteered at a vaccination centre so plenty of experts around to listen to.

Ask about having Novavax (it is available in the UK) which is a traditional vaccine rather than an MRNA one.
