Well I got a COVID-19 booster (or placebo) Monday

[cannabis_flower]

I was in the Pfizer vaccine study and they asked me if I wanted to participate in the study for the booster shot. I’m about 99% sure I didn’t get the placebo, in fact this reaction has been worse than the other two. I started getting achy, tired and generally not feeling well Monday around 5pm and still feel achy and tired. And my arm hurts and is red at the injection site.

Hopefully it keeps me from getting a bad case of Covid.

1. Thanks for taking part in the study.

Keep us posted, will you? Oh, and water water water. Rest.

2. Ty for participating

And sharing!

3. Good for you, glad you got the booster and hope the side effects pass quickly

Hope that hug didn’t hurt your arm!

4. I'm worried my vax shots didn't work

Moderna, both shots

Absolutely zero side effects other than a mildly sore arm near the injection site for a few hours

12. Do not worry, we had the same effect from the mRNA-1273.351 Moderna variant-tweaked

trial jabs. High double dose, 100 mcg mRNA-1273.351 administered through a 0.5 mL intramuscular injection in our deltoid muscles on days 1 and 29.

Nothing but a sore arm that lasted less than 18 hours on both jabs. We are several months in and our antibody titers, B cell, and both T cell counts are through the roof.

17. Don't worry. Many of us had no side effects.

You don’t hear from us too often because there is nothing to report.

Neither the wife nor I had any. And she did not from her shingles shots which give more people bad effects than Covid jabs.

5. If you had side effects then likely you got the real thing (unless it's all in your head)?

Your antibodies should now increase 5-10 fold, based on what Pfizer already released. You should be neutralizing delta covid left and right.

7. I hope so

I’ve gone back to driving for Uber because I need the money. I’m hoping this will keep me from getting sick. We are required to wear masks but still.

6. Thank you for participating in the trial

8. Good for you! Thank you!

9. Any scuttlebutt about what/when's coming? -oh they won't tell ya!1

10. I wonder if boosters will kick our ass. I'm asking my Rheumy about a booster this week.

Immune suppressed here and worried that Delta might spank us pretty hard.

11. I heard that the placebo has the 5g chip

in it!

[roamer65]

13. I am hearing Moderna's booster will probably be half dose.

50mcg.

[WHITT]

14. Cool

I heard something earlier today about Pfizer saying that booster shots given provided an 11% boost in effectiveness in "young people".

[LisaL]

15. Not 11%.

5-10 fold increase in antibodies.

[WHITT]

18. I Assume They Meant

like going from say 83% to 94% effective against Delta.

[GulfCoast66]

16. Thank you for going the extra mile to help protect others.

19. 1+

[USALiberal]

20. Was it just a copy of the first and second shot or a different type?

[keithbvadu2]

21. Placebo or the actual shot?

Placebo or the actual shot?

The irony of antivaxers saying they “don’t want to be part of an experiment” without realising they are now the control group.
