• As for people who believe they can't take it, I wonder what percentage actually can't?

    Is it like gluten intolerance where the actual percentage of people who have it is tiny compared to the percentage that think they do?

  • Well in my case, I had a severe reaction to the 2nd AZ jab that has caused blindness in my right eye and a semi-serious neurological condition. It has fucked my life up, but I'm not anti-vaccine, by any means.

    So if/when I'm healthy enough, I'll have to decide whether to take a booster or not. Between my GP, my opthalmologist, and my neurologist, whose opinion should I trust? They've all had differing opinions on courses of treatment so far.

    All this to say, the definition of choice is blurry (for me anyway).

    That is fucking awful. I hope you find out wtaf happened! Ideally, they'd know so other people don't have to experience that.

  • Oh no that sucks :(

    Vaccine side-effects are rare, but they are real. Guillain-Barre syndrome is one.

    Hope they can figure out a treatment plan.

    With the blood clots they are now thinking the monkey virus they used to build the vaccine sets off the immune system in some people. But even knowing that, how do you calm it down again?

  • Interesting - my mate had his eye fucked up after the first jab, about 8 mths back. For a while, it looked like he'd go blind in one eye. He still can't see properly and they won't let him get his second jab. He's having to go for monthly jabs in his eyeball, which sound pretty horrible.

    He'll still get fully vaxxed as soon as he's allowed, but accepts that side-effects happen.
