There are so many stories flying back and forth I was hoping we could hear from anyone who was vaccinated. The Poll will be simple questions but by all means you can put in a post more details like how long since you got vaccinated, did you get both shots, which vaccine was it, what has your experience been like, etc.

Some guy told me a story about how he got vaccinated when the vaccine first came out. I guess that was about a year ago now. Ever since then he has had a pain in his arm and can't apply any pressure to it without unbearable pain. His main complaint is that he can't sleep on his side anymore with pressure on his arm. Despite all this, he said he would still get a second shot and presumably a third shot.

People love sharing their vaccines stories for some reason, they seem quite proud to have been vaccinated so the propaganda and conditioning has worked beautifully. Another guy I know got vaccinated and, I don't know if this is related or due to some other cause, he seems to have a mental fog about him now. He regularly forgets small details. Despite him having many more years of experience than myself, I find am I often having to remind him how to complete mundane tasks. Before the vaccine I don't recall this being an issue for him.

First shot of Astra Zeneca. My arm is a little sore two days later. I had less energy than normal and a bit of a headache. I am fine now. Absolutely no regrets. My new head that sprang up after the shot agrees.

You absolutely made the right choice.

This anti-science and largely nonfactual, superstitious beliefs of many Christians is embarrassing.

I share my vaccine story to counteract the utter rubbish that is being spouted by way too many people who should know better. I prefer the minimal side effects to possible COVID side effects. I'm not quite ready to die just yet. I don't advise anyone for or against. But please do some fact checking before insulting the intelligence of people who actually think about things before coming to conclusions.

It's up there with the flat earth believers. Flat earthers don't harm anyone, not even themselves. That's not the case with people who refuse the vaccine, especially in less developed countries.

Case in point....

Conservative Talk Show Host Dies After Battle with Covid- 19

“Phil would like for his listeners to know that while he has never been an ‘anti-vaxer’ he regrets not being more vehemently ‘Pro-Vaccine’, and looks forward to being able to more vigorously advocate that position as soon as he is back on the air, which we all hope will be soon,” his brother Mark Valentine wrote on July 22.

Mark Valentine told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota in a July 26 interview his brother was doing better but was “still very deep in the woods” and breathing with assistance.

“He recognizes now that him not getting the vaccination has probably caused a bunch of other people not to get vaccinated,” he said in the interview. “And that he regrets.”

At this point we have only had 3 people vote and it is quite reasonable to assume that anyone who died as a result of the vaccine did not vote. I would certainly like to see a greater sampling than this.

I've not took the shot.

Had a close family member take both doses.

No side effects after first dose.

After taking the 2nd dose, immediate and severe swelling the arm. That lasted a few days. Then came neurological problems; fainting and losing consciousness, seizures and had to be hospitalized for a few days. Now has a seizure d/o and on medication.

Prior to the vaccine, the person was young and a picture of health. After the vaccine, the seizure d/o is making it difficult for them to drive, work, and causing many safety issues. A once young healthy adult, now has to have someone checking on them often to ensure their safety.

Can I prove the vaccine caused this...no, but after researching this more seems many people who have taken the vaccines are now suffering with neurological issues.

Wow, can you add this information to the poll! This would be four people so far and 1/4 has serious adverse effect.

So does that mean I can fill it in for at least 150 family members (a family of nine siblings with three generations of offspring) and at least 50 friends and acquaintances that are all fine, alive with no lasting adverse effects after two doses starting from last winter.

Of course my work place is another 7000, I would stay most (5000 or so) are vaccinated, so far no death notices have filled my inbox, I assume they are all still alive

I could give you my solemn word that it would be accurate and true.

I'm not trying to insult anyone, but I think it's reckless to risk otherwise good health for something as preventable as taking a vaccine. Why someone would take this risk is puzzling. I don't think people are as informed as they should be.

We can't totally prevent the viruses we receive naturally in the wild, but we can absolutely refuse a jab and the possible cornucopia of life-changing side effects that ensue. I'd rather take my chances. I hope and pray the best for you. Stay in good health. 🙏🏻

That is so heartbreaking 😥. I have a family member with a seizure disorder who I've put years of my life into caretaking. It's very hard for everyone, but must be the most difficult for the person with the condition. Definitely praying for their recovery.

I got Moderna's... typical reactions from having a vaccine... nothing out of the ordinary.
No side effects since.

I’m so terribly sorry to hear.

I have a friend who took it, and she basically has had unrelenting pain in her ankle and foot that her Drs can’t explain.

She greatly regrets taking it, and certainly won’t be getting any “boosters”.

It happened to my sister. So not sure if you want me to fill out the poll or not?

I'm not sure why CDC isn't sharing possible side effects. Shortly after this happened to my sister, Senator Ron Johnson held a press conference with others who had suffered debilitating side effects.

Ron Johnson said according to VAERS, The vaccine has already been associated with more deaths and serious adverse reactions than all other vaccines since 1991.

That was reported in July. So within that 7 or 8 month period C19 vaccination had already been linked to more deaths and side effects than all other vaccinations within a 30 year period.

Was going to post a link...but for some reason can't find it on google now...:rolleyes:

When I get time, I will try to look through the history on my computer to see if I can find the information to provide a link.

Yes, it is a very difficult and sad situation.

Thanks for the prayers.

I met Phil Valentine myself several times and listened to him for years...he wasn't so much Conservative as logical and prudent.

He probably felt that he had to show solidarity with the Republican party...

But Phil was a Nashville icon for decades. He was very much a defining part of this town.

It's a sad day for us here.
