That in 10-15 years you’ll see a few commercials from law firms stating that if you
- are suffering from sudden twitches
- have unexplained fatigue
- have sudden uncontrolled bladder issues
-have pain in your right leg
- growing blue streaks of hair
And took the covid-19 vaccine in 2020 you should call their office?

Or there will no lasting side effects of a rushed vaccine?

A lot of people don't realize that they cannot be sued. So no, I don't think that there will be any advertising about this. Unless it's repealed.

I don’t know about lawsuits and what’s legal or wtvr but I definitely think there will be side effects and I’m in no rush to take the vaccine.

There will absolutely be side effects and pretty common ones. How serious or how mild that impossible to know now. What we do know now is that Bells Palsy is a side effect. I don't consider that mild. I know a few ppl who've had Bells Palsy and it did not go away all the way. (they got it years ago and still have it.)

I axtually think that in 10-15 years there may be articles about post covid effects, not from the vaccine but from the disease itself.
Already now, just 9 months later, there are findings of long lasting neurological symptoms, cardiac damage etc ch"v.
Israel is investigating findings of possible male infertility through damaged sperm.
So thats what im nervous about

I'm an equal opportunity worrier. I think there will be post covid effects and post vaccine effects, and I don't think we'll write the last chapter on all of this for a very long time.

I’m on the equal opportunity worrier team 😀

I fear the vaccine precisely because they haven’t been tested for long enough to know the possible long term effects.

Did you check the numbers of occurrence in the study vs numbers in general population? When you’re using a large amount of people in a study, statistically things are going to happen to x amount of people there.

Yes. And I know someone who developed a neurological side effect-her arm will every so often go completely numb, and if shes holding something, it drops. She had covid way back in april, and this effevt is still there. The neurologist told her he has no idea if she should expect it to continue or stay

I also know a woman in her young 40s who developed cardiac issues from it

Thats why it annoys me when people talk about the high survival rate. Yes, very nice, but side effects are a serious issue.

Neither has the virus itself.

Last year the CDC reported 34,200 deaths from influenza in the US.

This year over 323,000 people have died from Covid in the US so far.

Why are people saying that Covid is just a bad flu? 10x more fatal? Yeah, that's pretty bad alright.

I can't afford to get Covid again. I still haven't recovered from the first round, and I'm concerned that a second case of it can kill me.

Sign me up for the vaccine, please.

Why do you keep harping on the "rushed" part. The science of vaccines has been around for over 60 years. Most of the ingredients were known already and there have been other COV-SARs type of vaccines already so all they had to do was isolate it and "do their voodoo" to make sure it worked (I'm not a chemist/biologist but I do understand science). They weren't reinventing the wheel for this one

Most vaccines we have are safe for general consumption and have a generally good job of keeping viruses and illnesses at bay--even the flu, though not perfect, most years I haven't gotten it, and when I DID get the flu a few years ago I had it for maybe 2-3 days rather then being sick for a week. During that "epidemic" in my community, I had a colleague who was on a respirator from pneumonia as a result of the flu.

If "science"=masks, then "science" also = vaccines.

FF, I'm sorry that you were so sick, and I hope you have a complete recovery.

I'm concerned that they haven't studied specifically, the effect of the vaccine on people who've already had covid. If your immune system was already triggered by covid, do they know that triggering it again with the vaccine will not make you more susceptible to autoimmune or other issues?

And is it even possible to do a cost benefit risk analysis when there is still an incomplete understanding of how long natural immunity to covid lasts?
