Coronavirus

Your word of the day is dehumanizing.  Wearing a mask is apparently dehumanizing.

I hate this province.

Zero perspective and regard for fellow people.
The government squandered a lot of time and goodwill trying the thread the needle of ignoring the pandemic until it 'goes away'.

China's zero-Covid policies might be the only thing propping up the global supply chain.

I got my 4th shot yesterday - all 4 Pfizer.  I actually feel pretty good (I had some pretty bad fatigue after number 2, but other than that, they all went smoothly), but my arm hurts more with this one than any of the first 3.  I can barely lift it.  My understanding thought is that might have to do more with either the nurse or a dull needle than the vaccine itself.

I've had all four, as well.  I think all Pfizer. The fourth was two weeks ago. I've not had any issues with any of the shots with pain or soreness.

I had a regular flu shot Last Thursday and it burned like hell for 10 minutes and my arm is still sore 4 days later. Go figure!

We've had 2+ years to figure out something for cleaning the air in schools and other buildings. A lot of parents have put in their own time and money and efforts into Corsi-Rosenthal boxes and UV solutions to protect their kids and other families.

The Ontario Government has done far less than nothing in opening all the doors to infection vectors.

It's this story over and over and over and over. We know what's going to happen, we see it coming and the Government's response is, and always has been, to yell "Look Out" after the truck already hit us.

And this is the 5th truck.
 
My wife, son and I had the phizer vacinne today in one arm and the flu Vaccine in the other. So far no pain for any of us. Glad to have it done and out of the way with the snow tires done on the same day.
 
I got the Moderna bivalent one and the flu in the same day (last month) and was wrecked for about 18 hours, but then ok.

Is it because you got both, or because the Moderna bivalent vaccine is considered to provide harsher and longer post-shot reactions?

I've had tough reactions after every shot except the first.

No way of knowing, really. Some people are suggesting to not get them at the same time so that you can pinpoint which is the culprit in case you have a reaction. I felt rough after my last covid booster (Dec 2021) but have never had a reaction to a flu shot, which I get every year. So it could be the COVID shot?

I know a few people who've gotten both the same day, and had the usual aches and pains for the day.

Just going by what my doctor told me, he said the Moderna bivalent vaccine would make me like complete crap for a day or two.  Have yet to take either so far, but will be looking to do so soon now that having had COVID is beyond the 90-day immunity period.

My father-in-law took his flu shot last week and felt like garbage for three days.  Have never gotten a flu shot myself, but may do so for the first time this year based on my doctor's recommendations.

Guess you won't know, but so long as you are feeling better now, small nuisance in the grand scheme of things to protect yourself.

The likelihood of a reaction if you have not had a problem with the previous COVID vaccines would be quite low.  What most people are experiencing is a normal side effect of the vaccine.  Your immune system is activating and you are experiencing the fever/aches/chills of that immune response.  It sucks but its not a bad thing.
 
Oh for sure. I wasn't having a "reaction", just the normal aches and pains and general unwell feeling I got with my previous COVID vaccines.

At least I know my immune system still works! :)
 
Pretty amazing that the only thing that has changed since page 60 of this epic thread is that it is now worse than before (kids dying on hospital floors) as most Canadian jurisdictions has still made no infrastructural/policy changes in recognizance of the airborne nature of the viral transmission, basically abdicated all counter-measures to effectively limit our best weapon?s (vaccines) effectiveness.
