• N=1 example which could cause me, if I didn’t have a logical brain, to believe the vaccine is worse. I got Covid early in the first wave (confirmed by positive antibody test when picked up for random testing a few months later). Had a fever for one night, ‘bad cold’ symptoms for four days, then smell and taste went for 10 days. 14 days after first symptoms I was back on the bike and then had one of my best years of riding ever, so no long-term effects as far as I could tell.

    7.5 weeks ago I had my first Moderna jab. Since then I have been ill for a combined period of 4 weeks on three separate occasions. This could lead me to deduce something about the jab if it wasn’t for the fact that each period of illness followed my daughter bringing home an illness from childcare (each time the whole family got PCR tests which were negative so I think the standard viruses are also now having a field day as society reopens). I have my second jab booked this Sunday and am looking forward to having it, however if I was a simpler soul I can see how I would have gone Jab+Illnesses=Bad and become a lot more hesitant about taking the second shot.

    Not sure how unique or not my experience is, but humans love finding patterns in things so I would worry about those who might have an experience like mine and identify causality where there is none.

  • My covid experience was different, still not convinced that the covid was the issue but I was coughing hard enough to bring up blood, high enough blood pressure for the hosiptal to suspect I had had a heart attack! Low sats and feel very out of breath and tired for a few weeks. While blood glucose levels all over the place.

    Pfizer jab firstly caused a temperature for 48 hours and general tiredness. While the second jab did nothing.
