I’m pro-science, vax injured from 1 Pfiz 1/27/21. Nearly recovered now, 3 NVX with no issues. Still masking in public spaces. Still trying to avoid the plague.
My story: On 1/27/21 I was over the moon to be one of the first people in my town to receive the Pf Covid vaccine. Within 10 min I knew something was wrong. I felt it spreading through my arm to my brain and became immediately lightheaded and thought I was going to pass out.
In this picture, at least 15 people are escorting Luigi Mangione in NYC after extradition.
There's about $50,000 of tactical gear surrounding him. No bulletproof vest on Mangione.
Glad the NYPD and FBI are keeping us safe. Your tax dollars at work.
@StevePhillipsMD Yikes…this is a concerning line of posts coming from someone I once respected. Really appreciated your health advice, but I can’t get behind this cr@p. 🫤
@Daniel_E_Park Do you have any thoughts for those of us that weren’t able to escape the lovely latest Covid variant (my first infection caught while working on a boat so I couldn’t escape it)? I can’t do mRNA due to a previous severe adverse rxn. Will JN.1 do anything for me??
@gemcarey@krazykitkatm @flappy_psy_bird @Justanewsletter It is also super encouraging to see the research and the anecdotal testimonies of folks experiencing fewer side effects from Novavax. That being said, side effects still happen no matter what and everyone has to do what they feel is best for them. Wishing you the absolute best.
@gemcarey@krazykitkatm @flappy_psy_bird @Justanewsletter@gemcarey It would be interesting to have a vax without the spike protein. I seem to remember some discussion about that a while back. In the meantime, I decided to take NVX given my risk for LC. It was 💯 the right decision for me and I’m grateful for the non MRNA option.
@plagueprose Pretty standard vax reaction, sore arm and achy. Went for a big hike the next day and all good. I am so grateful for Novavax (this was my 4th). Especially after experiencing severe side effects from Pfizer.
24h after my Novavax COVID shot (and flu shot), and very happy. Much milder side effects than my 5 earlier COVID vaccines.
It's just my experience of course, but I'm hopeful we may finally have a sustainable and acceptable format for annual vaccinations.
A short 🧵
@flappy_psy_bird @gemcarey@krazykitkatm@Justanewsletter You’re not the only one to have had this experience. I’ve heard multiple stories of people getting better from LC or long vax after getting NVX. So happy for you! 🙂
@krazykitkatm @flappy_psy_bird @gemcarey@Justanewsletter I am not calling you antivax. This is me wondering why you say that NVX has similar rates of vax injury without studies to back that up. It seems hyperbolic. I am injured as well and am unbelievably grateful that NVX exists. It is a highly effective vax with fewer side effects.
@krazykitkatm @flappy_psy_bird @gemcarey@Justanewsletter Until NVX is given in the same magnitude as mRNA and/or there’s a more systematic study done bw the two looking at myocard rts we likely won’t know. Overall, NVX is less reactogenic than mRNA. Here’s one study in preprint. https://t.co/LDEL8CSpAH
@krazykitkatm @flappy_psy_bird @gemcarey@Justanewsletter You have to also understand that 1 in 100,000 is likely inflated for NVX bc there were farrrr fewer doses given than mRNA (100,000’s vs millions). In the trials, there was no difference in myocard rts bw the control and vaccinated groups.
