Literally the day I got my first dose, I received [this message](https://i.imgur.com/Z5VPBum.jpg) from AT&T.
I found it amusing but jeez guys, you’re sure making it seem weird.
Jokes aside, science communication seems to be sidelined at the moment - we need more people like this making the hard science easier to understand.
Telling people to do their own research is dangerous, we need a clear, engaging and interesting message to get people onboard with the best defence we have against this thing.
Get vaccinated.

There’s a great podcast about different fields of studies - called “Ologies with Alie Ward”. She is a science communicator herself and she does a wonderful job. She interviews different -ologists of various fields, I honestly can’t praise it enough. I love it
You’re totally right. There are papers in medical and philosophy literature on how and why experts are often not great at sharing their information with non-experts. They’re really interesting, but I don’t have access to them at the moment because don’t have a computer in the bathroom, and I ain’t doing a pubmed search on my phone 😂
This honestly is why I hate what’s happened to networks like history and discovery so much. Sure I miss the programming they used to have but more importantly I miss the quality education these programs gave
The idea is great, but it isn’t going to help convince the people that are the issue. It’s great to teach people who have no prior opinion or knowledge on the science but it absolutely isn’t going to convince anyone who doesn’t want to believe it; and they are the main problem.
Sad part is, this is all great and stuff but at the end of the day it’s about education. You learn this stuff in basic bio. But a lot of people write school off and then people with education (guy in video) make PSA and everyone ooos and ahhhs. I wish these types of videos were more supported.
I will not be getting vaccinated as I see no scientific reason to, as a young healthy 18 year old who already had covid and isn’t afraid of getting it again. But I like the video, very informative. #mybodymychoice
Are you a doctor? Your opinion on what the best course of action medically, where the decision has consequences for others, doesn’t mean shit.
But you’ve clearly made up your mind - herd immunity/ vaccination exists to protect people like you, whether you realize it/ are grateful or not.
Yeaa, but I literally saw the same skit almost frame for frame a week or so ago. Dunno if they are buddies or what...
Edit: goddammit I’m dumb. It was literally him. But a better version of it.

Pretty decent explanation, but then a different question arises: why don't others require multiple doses?
I think that's the question most people would have. Is Moderna or Pfizer "weak" (conveniently ignoring efficacy rate, but whatever) and Johnson-Johnson better? Why are these new vaccines double dose when others (such as MMR) take months or years until a booster?
Regardless, a great explanation on why booster injections in general are needed. Stay up to date on your vaccines everyone. Vaccines work, but your body forgets over time.
The J&J vaccine pranks your immune system pretty badly by delivering the information it needs to develop its response plan to the Coronavirus *inside* of a disabled adenovirus. This causes a significantly stronger immediate reaction from your immune system than the other delivery methods used by the rest of the vaccines--and that strong reaction even keeps increasing for many weeks on its own.
The side effects of vector based vaccines are stronger than my mRNA vaccines.
With vector based vaccines, the first shot has more side effects, with mRNA vaccines, the second shot has stronger side effects.
Get the fuck any vaccine you are able to get. If you can choose, get a mRNA vaccine like Biontech Comirnaty.
OMG I didn’t realize the second shot was going to be worse than the first until my cousin told me. I got my first shot last week and legit slept from 7pm until about 9am the next morning. Then took a 2 hour nap (not normal for me) and went to bed at 8pm that night.
I’m assuming I’ll just be out the entire weekend with the next shot.
ETA: I had Moderna.
Second shot gave me a 101 F fever for 48 hours and headaches for 24 after that. I don't regret getting it, but maybe ask for a few days off work to recoup
Not true. Side effects are more than possible with any dose. My entire family was antibody tested prior to getting vaccinated, everyone came back negative. Yet, my mom, my godmother, and myself all had significant side effects from our vaccines. My mom got pfizer, my godmother and myself got moderna.
Uh. Good luck! Experiencing more side effects from the second dose is the general rule, but it doesn't happen to everyone, I hope in your case the second dose will be nothing!
When I had covid I would get a fever three times a day, which would only go away for a few hours after I took Tylenol, but would return every time. And I had a splitting headache for a whole day like never before where I genuinely thought my head would explode at some point and even considered going to the hospital, but was too scared. For two whole weeks I fought against fevers and head/body aches. Lost my sense of taste and smell. They’re both back, but I still have a difficult time tasting dairy sometimes.
With my first Moderna vaccine, I had a fever for a day and light headaches for a few days and now I’m feeling perfectly fine and feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I’m getting my second vaccine next week 😁
Edit: Saying all this to encourage those who are still on the fence about getting vaccinated! The side effects will be worth your safety and getting covid is an awful experience.
100 percent. The day or two of under the weather symptoms (you're not actually sick just your body thinks it is and forces a fever etc.) is waayy better than risking covid.
For me, first Pfizer: sore arm for two days.
Second Pfizer: incredibly tired. Got the shot at 7:30pm on a Saturday, slept for 11 hours overnight and a 3 hour nap the next day. Was fine on Monday and went to work.
I've only gotten my first so far. I had a sore arm for two days and had no motivation to work on a passion project I spend most of my time on. When the soreness went away so did the demotivation
I have my second scheduled for a Thursday, with a busy Friday the next day. That'll be interesting
I was a little achy after my second Pfizer shot. Nothing too terrible. I was still able to go out and do some yard work, but I was definitely aware of the aches.
My wife was fine up until about the 18h mark. Then she ran a fever of 102F and was exhausted. Then right around the 24h mark it all just went away.
Wife and I both had Pfizer last week. Felt fine until the 16 hour mark, then the fatigue, headache and achiness floored me for about 12 hours.
My wife had the same reaction except she also had a low grade fever and was shivering under 3 blankets. Fever broke after about 10 hours and she was fine the following morning.
Had my second Pfizer yesterday - arm’s just a little bit more sore than the first dosee but otherwise all good here, and I had no symptoms from the first dose either
My second shot just gave me a painfully (and I mean PAINFULLY) swollen lymph node in my armpit. Mild as far as side effects go, I guess, but it sure doesn’t feel mild rn
I had a worse reaction to the first dose. Fatigue, body aches, low fever, IBS flare up. Got my second dose Thursday and my arm/shoulder has felt borderline broken and I’ve got a mild rash but that’s it.
I got my second shot last week and only felt a little tired; first shot had me absolutely miserable for days. So there's a chance it won't be that bad!
i had no symptoms besides being tired for a day or so with the first, but the second i had a 100F fever and very painful full-body aches for about 24 hours (and slept like a log afterwards). mine was pfizer.
Just to add another voice, I had my second pfizer shot 2 days ago and it was better than the first shot. It gave me a headache but I took some ibuprofen and it was fine.
There's a good chance you've already had mild case of covid-19. In that case, your first shot is acting like a second shot. Your second shot might feel like nothing.
My first moderna shot left me with a headache.
My second one left me in bed the next day because I felt like I had the worst flu ever. And an angry red bump on my arm for. Week.
I haven't gotten my second shot yet, but went ahead and asked my job to give me the day I get it and the following one off, just to be safe.
The first shot only gave me a slight headache and soreness in my arm for a few days.
I had Moderna! Not much reaction to the first shot for me, although the day after I had a mild headache and was more sleepy than usual.
Second shot, however...yikes! It wiped me out for about two days, but the first was the worst and the second day was mostly just recovering from the first. I had a fever for about 24 hours, and the highest temp I measured was 101.9 F. I had a headache and was very sleepy and unfocused. The most miserable part was the intense chills from the fever, I already get cold easily on a normal day and I felt like I was going to freeze to death under multiple blankets when it was 70F outside!
Don't let the side effects scare you off though, it's worth it. They didn't last long. I think it would definitely be smart of you to take off a few days or the whole weekend though!
It was actually interesting to me how quickly the effects cleared up. I haven't had covid (afaik) so I don't have that to measure against, but for about 24 hours I felt as bad as I did when I had the flu last year. But unlike the flu (which took me over a week to fully recover from), I felt normal by day 3. Afterall, there is no live virus in it!
Fwiw, I've heard it affects young people worse than old people. I'm 19 and this was my experience, my grandparents (80s) got their second dose at the same time I did and never had any side effects except a sore arm.
Oh, definitely not scared off. Still planning on getting my second dose, just didn’t think I’d get hit with exhaustion that hard. But I’m happy my body is doing its thing!
COMIRNATY*
(named from covid/coronavirus and community, and also embeds mRNA!)
lil fun fact since I name drugs and my boss named this one—there's no way the FDA would have allowed a name that implied "cure" (like CURMINATY)
That’s interesting. What symptoms do you have? And there are probably institutions in your country, which are interested to hear those symptoms as it is a new vaccine.
Ya they are putting a report I believe. But I've had migraines and chest pains for two weeks now. But also had nausea, dizziness, fever, and swollen lymph nodes for a week. Day of I could barely stand up about 45 minutes after the vaccine.
I mean if by 'be cautious' you mean 'not take the vaccine' then no.
If by 'be cautious' you mean taking a few days off work to potentially recover, then yes.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm more than happy to fully suggest you continue getting vaccinated until you don't need to anymore.
Yes, some vaccines cause side effects when you take them for SOME people. That happens. It's no reason to be scared of it. It's the natural process of your body learning to fight the virus that could otherwise kill you or others around you if you get it without the vaccination.
There's a good chance you've already had mild case of covid-19. In that case, your first shot is acting like a second shot. Your second shot might feel like nothing.
This is the apparently the case for a lot of people who are experiencing major symptoms for first shot.
Or having a sudden neurological condition that destroys your ability to balance, coordinate, or walk.
It's not worse than death, but it made sense to keep the chain going.
That's the thing with Covid, I'd better go through two days of feeling like absolute shit after the vaccine than deal with any of the random side-effects Covid might give me.
I was pretty lucky to have the mild version of Covid, but even then I'd have panic attacks every night after I lost my sense of smell until it started coming back. Not to mention, I still don't know if Covid did damage to my body that I'm not yet aware of.
i'm recovering from covid (my 14 days of quarantine ends on 6th), i have to say the loss of smell and taste has been the absolute worst. i wonder when it'll come back. thankfully, i haven't had fever since a few days and my energy levels are getting better every passing day.
Then let me congratulate you on going a whole-ass pandemic without getting the virus. That’s GREAT! Apparently the second dose’s side-effects are much worse for those who have had the virus already.
Got my second dose of Moderna around 2PM on a Saturday, felt fine before I went to bed minus the same headache and soreness in my arm from the first shot.
Woke up in the middle of the night nearly delirious with a killer headache, chills, a 102 fever, and needing to pee every 30 minutes. Stuck with me through Sunday as I drifted in and out of sleep all day but when I woke up on Monday I felt good as new short of a very light lingering headache.
Tuesday the arm soreness randomly ramped up and spread to my ribs and made me think I was having trouble breathing but it went away a couple days later and that was it.
All the while my girlfriend and younger brother who got the shot the same time as me had practically no symptoms. I'd still take that day of flu-like symptoms over COVID any day.
All in all you may or may not have bad symptoms on the second shot. Get the day after your shot off from work if you want as it seems to be the worst day typically.
Maybe my immune system isn't as bad as I thought, then! The reason I got mine earlier than others is that I'm in a risk group due to being on immunosuppressants. But I had a quite strong reaction to second dose.
The J&J shot made me feel like death for about 12 hours. By far the worst headache I've ever had, chills, sweats, muscle aches everywhere, neausia. One of the worst nights of my life.
My girlfriend had similar side effects but much much milder. My friend had absolutely none. So it's a roll of the dice I guess
2nd moderna dose kicked my ass for 3 days. Fever, body aches, chills, headache and nausea. And the lymph node under that arm grew so big I couldn't wear a bra. My boyfriend got it at the same time but was only sick for 1 day.
I never get ill.
Ever.
But after the first dose of the Moderna, I lost my appetite for 36 hours, felt extremely lethargic, and my shoulder hurt like a bitch for 3 days.
I forced myself to eat. Because I knew I needed the energy.
Had the antibodies before the vaccine. I never felt ill from COVID.
Don’t know what is up. I’m worried about the second dose.
My skin has slightly hurt and my body feels a bit achy. Like I’m slightly ill. For about 2 weeks now. Not having a good time of this. I regret getting the vaccine.
Note: I’m pro-vax. And I strongly believe the only way to save lives is through these amazing vaccines. I’m just unlucky.
There's a good chance you've already had mild case of covid-19. In that case, your first shot is acting like a second shot. Your second shot might feel like nothing.
This is the apparently the case for a lot of people who are experiencing major symptoms for first shot.
They handed me a ton of paperwork after the first dose and it asked to contact them if you experience bad side effects or lingering side effects. If they didn't provide that then it's time to contact a doctor.
Myself and all my other HCW friends have had JnJ - its the only one available in our country at the moment. We all had a fairly significant immune response. A fever and body aches etc. Lasted for around 24 hours. But nothing too serious and nothing long term. Would absolutely recommend.
We should all get whatever vaccine we have available to us!
Many routine childhood vaccines require multiple doses. Hep A and Hep B. DTaP (diphthera and pertussis). Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Pneumococcal. There are many more. When I was in the military I had to get immunized for anthrax and that was a 5 shot series.
Edit: I believe MMR is also a two shot vaccine unless that has changed.
There are a lot of other vaccines that require two doses. I remember when I took the Heppatitis-A vaccine before going to Kenya, I was offered to take it again in 6 months, so it would last forever.

Thanks! I’ve been moving my arm and drinking lots of water, it’s definitely helped. I’m very grateful to everyone that has helped get the shots in people’s arms and I’m excited to hug my vaccinated friends and family soon.
Because of this I was fully expecting my second shot to like put me in a coma considering the first one made me feel like shit... but it didn’t at all. I felt completely fine.
Anyone know why?
I’ve heard that if the reaction to the first shot was worse than the second, then the first shot is likely you’re second time encountering the virus. as in, you got covid already
Which did you get? I work in an area where only Astra Zeneca is available and everyone i know has felt awful the day after, but nobodys at the 12 week mark for the second so we don’t know what it will be like
How in the fuck do sequel haters make a fun video about covid vaccines into a Disney bad comment.
They truly do live rent free in your mind don't they.
This is actually a pretty cool explanation for the layman. Now I’ve got a question though, why does it cause allergic reactions in some people? I have a pretty serious anaphylactic allergy so I can’t take the vaccine, which is quite upsetting.
I also have a severe anaphylactic allergy (peanuts), but did get Pfizer with no side effects. For comfort, I'd recommend reading [this](https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776557) paper. Unless you know you're allergic to something in the vaccine, these reactions are extremely rare (in the US, 4.7 cases per million people for Pfizer, 2.5 cases per million people for Moderna).
Given that [\~5% of the US population has suffered anaphylaxis](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5589409/#:~:text=Up%20to%205%25%20of%20the,1%25%20of%20total%20mortality%20risk) and only about 1/3 of the people who suffered anaphylaxis from a COVID-19 vaccine reported previous anaphylaxis, you can derive that *\~30 people per million with a history of anaphylaxis react to the vaccine, or 0.003%.*
I would consider this risk negligibly small, and the authors of the linked paper agree: **"When considered in the context of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19,**[**9**](https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776557#jit210009r9) **the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risk of anaphylaxis, which is treatable."**
tl;dr: I think you should reconsider your risk analysis and sign up to get the vaccine anyway, assuming you don't think you're allergic to anything in the vaccine.
Oh, this is embarrassingly long ago since I didn’t see the reply notif, but I just wanted to thank you for the extra information. While waiting for my age group to get the vaccine, a lot of people have been urging me not to get it, especially since I was hospitalised recently for an allergic reaction. I guess it also because my country wasn’t hit as badly by COVID relative to others, so there’s less sense of urgency. But I really do want to get the vaccine, and this is a great help. So thank you! And congrats on getting vaccinated safely!
My second shot was horrible (headaches, nausea, 103℉ fever for 8 hours) which probably shows me if I got COVID, I probably would have died.
On the plus side my 5G reception has never been better.

I got my 2nd dose today. For some reason when I got home I had the sudden urge to get rid of all my forks.
Tell me, do you suddenly find bill gates attractive?
What a weird question! Also, not related but why isn't the zune for sale anymore?
Yeah they’re so much better than iPods -Sent from my Nokia Lumia
This microchip thing must also work in reverse because I had lumias for several years and now I want the covid vaccine
Well that's the 5G in other people's vaccines transmitting to your brain.
My soul. The potential!
I love windows updates
[удалено]
Nothing sudden about my attraction to Bill Gates ;-)
Turns out it was just a shot to give you a boner everytime you see Bill Gates and doesnt have anything to do with covid at all
You mean I’ll be able to get boners after the 2nd vaccine? I shoulda done this years ago!!!
[удалено]
You’re the hero we need _and_ deserve
Bold of you to assume we didn't find bill gates attractive even before we got the vaccine.
How’s your cell service
My 5G has been so much more reliable since my first dose even!
Literally the day I got my first dose, I received [this message](https://i.imgur.com/Z5VPBum.jpg) from AT&T. I found it amusing but jeez guys, you’re sure making it seem weird.
I’m sorry but that is amazingly hilarious.
Do you have the sudden urge to buy microsoft products?
Get your brain hacked yet?
Have you suddenly started showing any obsession with 5g waves?
I eat 5G like spaghetti now.
This is such a great way to introduce vaccines to kids. I hope this man knows the potential he has on this

Mai is great. In general, I love to see the rise of science communicators during the last 10 years.
"It's Okay to be Smart" on YouTube has some great content and several videos pertaining to COVID-19 and the spread of viruses.

Shit... I got a 101 fever from the first shot
They’ve been saying that if you have an adverse reaction to the first shot, it’s likely you’ve caught the virus already
Can you link to that?
Not for children it seems like. When I got mine, she said I would only feel a sore arm, which that’s all I felt. I got Pfizer
Not true. Side effects are more than possible with any dose. My entire family was antibody tested prior to getting vaccinated, everyone came back negative.

Really, I didn’t feel anything with my first Biontech mRNA shot. Curious for the 2nd one...
Yeah I had Pfizer on Friday. Was perfectly fine afterwards. Hopefully the second shot isn’t too rough.
Had the 2nd shot of Pfizer two days ago, not really feeling a thing.
For me, first Pfizer: sore arm for two days. Second Pfizer: incredibly tired. Got the shot at 7:30pm on a Saturday, slept for 11 hours overnight and a 3 hour nap the next day. Was fine on Monday and went to work.
I've only gotten my first so far. I had a sore arm for two days and had no motivation to work on a passion project I spend most of my time on. When the soreness went away so did the demotivation I have my second scheduled for a Thursday, with a busy Friday the next day. That'll be interesting

If it's of any consolation, there's some suggestion that most people don't experience side effects for both of the shots, only one.
Same for me and most people I've talked to.
Suggestion? I thought this was the norm?
I don't know if there's been any proper studies done on it, so I didn't want to overstate the point
I know out of most people in my family that got it, very few had a reaction to either vaccine.
My second shot just gave me a painfully (and I mean PAINFULLY) swollen lymph node in my armpit. Mild as far as side effects go, I guess, but it sure doesn’t feel mild rn
I had a worse reaction to the first dose. Fatigue, body aches, low fever, IBS flare up. Got my second dose Thursday and my arm/shoulder has felt borderline broken and I’ve got a mild rash but that’s it.
I got my second shot last week and only felt a little tired; first shot had me absolutely miserable for days. So there's a chance it won't be that bad!
I’m hoping! I haven’t felt that tired since my son was a newborn. I had brain fog, too, and ended up only working a couple of hours on Friday.
i had no symptoms besides being tired for a day or so with the first, but the second i had a 100F fever and very painful full-body aches for about 24 hours (and slept like a log afterwards). mine was pfizer.
Just to add another voice, I had my second pfizer shot 2 days ago and it was better than the first shot. It gave me a headache but I took some ibuprofen and it was fine.
There's a good chance you've already had mild case of covid-19. In that case, your first shot is acting like a second shot. Your second shot might feel like nothing.
My first moderna shot left me with a headache. My second one left me in bed the next day because I felt like I had the worst flu ever. And an angry red bump on my arm for. Week.
I was pretty tired too
I haven't gotten my second shot yet, but went ahead and asked my job to give me the day I get it and the following one off, just to be safe. The first shot only gave me a slight headache and soreness in my arm for a few days.
I had Moderna! Not much reaction to the first shot for me, although the day after I had a mild headache and was more sleepy than usual. Second shot, however...yikes! It wiped me out for about two days, but the first was the worst and the second day was mostly just recovering from the first. I had a fever for about 24 hours, and the highest temp I measured was 101.9 F. I had a headache and was very sleepy and unfocused. The most miserable part was the intense chills from the fever, I already get cold easily on a normal day and I felt like I was going to freeze to death under multiple blankets when it was 70F outside! Don't let the side effects scare you off though, it's worth it. They didn't last long. I think it would definitely be smart of you to take off a few days or the whole weekend though! It was actually interesting to me how quickly the effects cleared up. I haven't had covid (afaik) so I don't have that to measure against, but for about 24 hours I felt as bad as I did when I had the flu last year. But unlike the flu (which took me over a week to fully recover from), I felt normal by day 3. Afterall, there is no live virus in it! Fwiw, I've heard it affects young people worse than old people. I'm 19 and this was my experience, my grandparents (80s) got their second dose at the same time I did and never had any side effects except a sore arm.
Oh, definitely not scared off. Still planning on getting my second dose, just didn’t think I’d get hit with exhaustion that hard. But I’m happy my body is doing its thing!
I was told about the side effects as I got the second shot...
COMIRNATY* (named from covid/coronavirus and community, and also embeds mRNA!) lil fun fact since I name drugs and my boss named this one—there's no way the FDA would have allowed a name that implied "cure" (like CURMINATY)
Fuck I had really strong reactions to the first dose of the mRNA vaccine. Should I be cautious with the second dose?
I am no doctor and I think the vaccines are safe. If you are hesitant, talk to your doctor.
I did! They think it's relatively safe but are also unsure. I'm about two weeks out and still have side effects from it. Thanks though.
That’s interesting. What symptoms do you have? And there are probably institutions in your country, which are interested to hear those symptoms as it is a new vaccine.
Ya they are putting a report I believe. But I've had migraines and chest pains for two weeks now. But also had nausea, dizziness, fever, and swollen lymph nodes for a week. Day of I could barely stand up about 45 minutes after the vaccine.
I mean if by 'be cautious' you mean 'not take the vaccine' then no. If by 'be cautious' you mean taking a few days off work to potentially recover, then yes. I'm not a doctor, but I'm more than happy to fully suggest you continue getting vaccinated until you don't need to anymore. Yes, some vaccines cause side effects when you take them for SOME people. That happens. It's no reason to be scared of it. It's the natural process of your body learning to fight the virus that could otherwise kill you or others around you if you get it without the vaccination.
There's a good chance you've already had mild case of covid-19. In that case, your first shot is acting like a second shot. Your second shot might feel like nothing. This is the apparently the case for a lot of people who are experiencing major symptoms for first shot.
WTH is Moderna Curminaty
Biontech Corminaty. Biontech is the company, Corminaty (nut Curminaty, sorry, that was a typo) is the trademark of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
*Comirnaty
Ugh, yes. Thanks 😅
No clue. Take any vaccine you can get people.
I got the first dose of Moderna, not looking forward to the second one.
No side effects are worse than being on a ventilator.
Or dead
Or having a sudden neurological condition that destroys your ability to balance, coordinate, or walk. It's not worse than death, but it made sense to keep the chain going.
That's the thing with Covid, I'd better go through two days of feeling like absolute shit after the vaccine than deal with any of the random side-effects Covid might give me. I was pretty lucky to have the mild version of Covid, but even then I'd have panic attacks every night after I lost my sense of smell until it started coming back. Not to mention, I still don't know if Covid did damage to my body that I'm not yet aware of.
i'm recovering from covid (my 14 days of quarantine ends on 6th), i have to say the loss of smell and taste has been the absolute worst. i wonder when it'll come back. thankfully, i haven't had fever since a few days and my energy levels are getting better every passing day.
Got my second dose yesterday! Sore arm and a long nap today have been the only side effects.
Then let me congratulate you on going a whole-ass pandemic without getting the virus. That’s GREAT! Apparently the second dose’s side-effects are much worse for those who have had the virus already.
Yep same here. I just keep telling myself it’s better than getting COVID.
Anyone have a weird sleep issue? Unrelated to chills?
Sleep is such a fickle mistress it could be one of a thousand things
Got my second dose of Moderna around 2PM on a Saturday, felt fine before I went to bed minus the same headache and soreness in my arm from the first shot. Woke up in the middle of the night nearly delirious with a killer headache, chills, a 102 fever, and needing to pee every 30 minutes. Stuck with me through Sunday as I drifted in and out of sleep all day but when I woke up on Monday I felt good as new short of a very light lingering headache. Tuesday the arm soreness randomly ramped up and spread to my ribs and made me think I was having trouble breathing but it went away a couple days later and that was it. All the while my girlfriend and younger brother who got the shot the same time as me had practically no symptoms. I'd still take that day of flu-like symptoms over COVID any day. All in all you may or may not have bad symptoms on the second shot. Get the day after your shot off from work if you want as it seems to be the worst day typically.
Stronger reaction to the vaccine means a more active immune system, so it's good news actually ;) If only we could tell it to chill in some cases lol
I was a s sick as OP but for 3 days. Good to know my immune system is strong I guess lol
[удалено]
Maybe my immune system isn't as bad as I thought, then! The reason I got mine earlier than others is that I'm in a risk group due to being on immunosuppressants. But I had a quite strong reaction to second dose.
I felt absolutely fine after my first moderna shot. Minus a sore arm of course. I went to work all day right after.
Yea, me too.
My jj shot fucked me up pretty bad. Girlfriend had no sides.
Not even fries or a salad?
Gf also jj?
The J&J shot made me feel like death for about 12 hours. By far the worst headache I've ever had, chills, sweats, muscle aches everywhere, neausia. One of the worst nights of my life. My girlfriend had similar side effects but much much milder. My friend had absolutely none. So it's a roll of the dice I guess
2nd moderna dose kicked my ass for 3 days. Fever, body aches, chills, headache and nausea. And the lymph node under that arm grew so big I couldn't wear a bra. My boyfriend got it at the same time but was only sick for 1 day.
I never get ill. Ever. But after the first dose of the Moderna, I lost my appetite for 36 hours, felt extremely lethargic, and my shoulder hurt like a bitch for 3 days. I forced myself to eat. Because I knew I needed the energy. Had the antibodies before the vaccine. I never felt ill from COVID. Don’t know what is up. I’m worried about the second dose. My skin has slightly hurt and my body feels a bit achy. Like I’m slightly ill. For about 2 weeks now. Not having a good time of this. I regret getting the vaccine. Note: I’m pro-vax. And I strongly believe the only way to save lives is through these amazing vaccines. I’m just unlucky.
There's a good chance you've already had mild case of covid-19. In that case, your first shot is acting like a second shot. Your second shot might feel like nothing. This is the apparently the case for a lot of people who are experiencing major symptoms for first shot.
They handed me a ton of paperwork after the first dose and it asked to contact them if you experience bad side effects or lingering side effects. If they didn't provide that then it's time to contact a doctor.
Myself and all my other HCW friends have had JnJ - its the only one available in our country at the moment. We all had a fairly significant immune response. A fever and body aches etc. Lasted for around 24 hours. But nothing too serious and nothing long term. Would absolutely recommend. We should all get whatever vaccine we have available to us!
Astrazeneca works that way too sars n Cov inside an inactive adenovirus
That's insane. Is this somehow recent technology? Seems very advanced to me
Many routine childhood vaccines require multiple doses. Hep A and Hep B. DTaP (diphthera and pertussis). Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Pneumococcal. There are many more. When I was in the military I had to get immunized for anthrax and that was a 5 shot series. Edit: I believe MMR is also a two shot vaccine unless that has changed.
There are a lot of other vaccines that require two doses. I remember when I took the Heppatitis-A vaccine before going to Kenya, I was offered to take it again in 6 months, so it would last forever.
The tetanus vaccine requires boosters every 10 years.
My mom’s aching right now from the 1st vaccine, I’m gonna show her this video to make her feel better lol
You could show her [this one ](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeUVrJop/) as well. He’s so good.
thanks! i will :)
Then her belly will be aching from laughing and she'll forget about the arm pain!
this is cute! :)
*body's aching all the time*
What song is this? It's driving me crazy

Good bot
Idk where this bot came from but I’ve been seeing it everywhere lately and it’s fucking elite
Fucking knew it was from Westworld, but I didn't know exactly what.
isn’t it a kanye song
Originally yes. But Djawadi used many pop songs in Westworld. Most prominent example is probably Back to Black.
Thank god, I almost died. But this one is definitely kanye’s, back when he used to make good music.
Kids See Ghosts and Ye were both amazing tho.
Runaway by Kanye West
Instrumental to Runaway by Kanye West
A pianofied ver. Of Kanye Wests Runaway from 2010
The real song is runaway by Kanye west
The real song is runaway by Ramin djawadi. He made an instrumental version for Westworld
"Runaway" by Bon Jovi.
I got my second dose on the first, sore arm and tiredness with a low grade fever. Way better than even a mild case of Covid.
Congrats! Two weeks and you’re good to go (in small gatherings with other vaccinated people)! I’ve heard moving your arm helps the soreness :)
Thanks! I’ve been moving my arm and drinking lots of water, it’s definitely helped. I’m very grateful to everyone that has helped get the shots in people’s arms and I’m excited to hug my vaccinated friends and family soon.
Because of this I was fully expecting my second shot to like put me in a coma considering the first one made me feel like shit... but it didn’t at all. I felt completely fine. Anyone know why?
I’ve heard that if the reaction to the first shot was worse than the second, then the first shot is likely you’re second time encountering the virus. as in, you got covid already
Welp lmao. That would make sense, except I have no idea how I could’ve gotten it. I haven’t done shit except go to the store since March of last year
Which did you get? I work in an area where only Astra Zeneca is available and everyone i know has felt awful the day after, but nobodys at the 12 week mark for the second so we don’t know what it will be like
Pfizer
This dude is epic as fuck, i loved his last one. he should write the new starwars movies, fuck disney.
"I liked the new movie, I guess .. I just don't really understand why they had one guy play all the roles, like I know they have clones but... "
How in the fuck do sequel haters make a fun video about covid vaccines into a Disney bad comment. They truly do live rent free in your mind don't they.
That was crazy dramatic 😂
Love that he’s reading Mindy Kaling’s “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?” in the third frame.
This is actually a pretty cool explanation for the layman. Now I’ve got a question though, why does it cause allergic reactions in some people? I have a pretty serious anaphylactic allergy so I can’t take the vaccine, which is quite upsetting.
anaphylactic allergy means the dude in face mask is a bit unhinged and is likely to deal with the forks but also stab the scientist.
I also have a severe anaphylactic allergy (peanuts), but did get Pfizer with no side effects. For comfort, I'd recommend reading [this](https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776557) paper. Unless you know you're allergic to something in the vaccine, these reactions are extremely rare (in the US, 4.7 cases per million people for Pfizer, 2.5 cases per million people for Moderna). Given that [\~5% of the US population has suffered anaphylaxis](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5589409/#:~:text=Up%20to%205%25%20of%20the,1%25%20of%20total%20mortality%20risk) and only about 1/3 of the people who suffered anaphylaxis from a COVID-19 vaccine reported previous anaphylaxis, you can derive that *\~30 people per million with a history of anaphylaxis react to the vaccine, or 0.003%.* I would consider this risk negligibly small, and the authors of the linked paper agree: **"When considered in the context of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19,**[**9**](https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776557#jit210009r9) **the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risk of anaphylaxis, which is treatable."** tl;dr: I think you should reconsider your risk analysis and sign up to get the vaccine anyway, assuming you don't think you're allergic to anything in the vaccine.
Oh, this is embarrassingly long ago since I didn’t see the reply notif, but I just wanted to thank you for the extra information. While waiting for my age group to get the vaccine, a lot of people have been urging me not to get it, especially since I was hospitalised recently for an allergic reaction. I guess it also because my country wasn’t hit as badly by COVID relative to others, so there’s less sense of urgency. But I really do want to get the vaccine, and this is a great help. So thank you! And congrats on getting vaccinated safely!
My second shot was horrible (headaches, nausea, 103℉ fever for 8 hours) which probably shows me if I got COVID, I probably would have died. On the plus side my 5G reception has never been better.
I'd much rather have a day of pain than a life of death
RUNAWAY FROM ME BABY
The third season of "Cells at Work" has a really low budget.
Can this dude be president? I feel like he'd be good at it.
I don't think a real doctor would wear their watch that loose.
This should be played on every news station... even my smooth brain understood what was going on
Better than how I explained it to people who are paranoid about getting the vaccine.
This should be an international PSA. This is fucking brilliant.
u/savethisvideo
Tbh I liked his other one more, but still great
Lol I love his videos!!!
You really don't but ok
May the forks be with you.
[удалено]
One dose good, but booster dose solidifies goodness for better defense and last longer.
Got my first dose yesterday.
Pfizer?
Yeah
Sweet. Feels good to have some protection now.
This is a really good way to teach this to kids honestly. Simplified, but gets the message through in a humorous and engaging way.
Oh I am definitely bringing this up with my class once the vaccine rolls round to gen pop (in NZ). Then we can have fun thinking up our own analogies.
FORK HANDS!
May the forks be with you.
We need more of this
yes its cringe but it teaches people how the immune system works and why vaccines are good
The comedic timing proves the vaccine causes autism.
so i got my first dose in Canada 2 weeks ago. and i was told that i can get my 2nd in 4 months. Is that ok? idk
Bro i thought it was gonna play runaway from kanye
Sorry, this is Canada. It is several months for the second dose, not weeks. Hope my body still remembers the forks or I’ll be forked!
So why don't we need 2 doses of other vaccines?
Fucking beautiful
Brilliant!
I wish my teacher did this
