    In that case don’t take a vaccine.

    That’s what free choice in this world is for.

    Other people will listen to doctors and “experts” and make their minds up.

    i wont be taking any vaccine ever... how much of these 'experts ' getting paid by big pharma ...where are the safety studies on mixing vaccines ?

    You seem to be getting very worked up about what other peoples choices are,which are outside your control

    I have no problem with people making choices and hope the vaccine works for them ... but for people to make the right choice they must have full facts to make the correct decision and that includes the down side of vaccines also .. for me mixing vaccines is a red flag ... the same way you woulndn't mix a two pack floor paint with different brands because they are not designed for each other and probably wont work properly... but mixing a two part vaccine with different brands and they are very different products ..to me crosses the line .. very dangerous and reckless to peoples health

    But you think two halves of a vaccine of the same brand are okay?

    I blows my mind that their mixing vaccines ...the risks their taking on peoples health ... and all experimental vaccines

    All vaccines are mixed by your standard.
    Babies receive many vaccines in one go and 2 months apart.
    AFAIK the recommendation is to leave 2 months between vaccines. And 1 month if its a booster of a vaccine already received. (open to correction)
    So if a person gets AZ and 2 months later gets Pfizer, then it's no different to a baby getting a vaccine at 2 months and a different vaccine at 4.
    Mixing vaccines is not a risk, it is literally the vaccination schedule. At 2 months a baby is given

    6 in 1 ( Diphtheria, Haemophilus Influenzae b (Hib), Hepatitis B, acellular Pertussis, inactivated Polio, Tetanus vaccine)
    Men B
    PCV
    And Rotavirus
    That's 9 different vaccines mixed together. And 2 months later there's another load.
    As for what you call experimental... Every single vaccine listed was experimental until it wasnt.

    Had Pfizer on Wednesday. Not a single side effect
    My only worry now is my children catching covid. And that's a much much smaller worry than I had for myself in cohort 4.

    .


    The Pfizer injection is an mRNA injection. The AZ injection is a non-replicating viral vector injection. The mechanism is different and they also target different parts of the spike protein. It is not clear yet that combining vaccines is useful or safe.

    COM- Cov2 is a trial currently being run in the UK to test combinations of the injections. Trials are going on in lots of other countries also. Results are expected around June.

    i wouldn't be in favour of mixing these vaccines either ... they have their own issues such as autism , asthma etc ... but generally these are old school vaccines which are generally safer.

    MNRA vaccines / gene therapy are a new technique targeting the bodies cells to produce spike proteins and have yet to successfully pass animal studies never mind human studies.

    All these old vaccines took over 10 years to pass phase 111 trials before being authorised for use. The covid vaccines took less than six months testing before being allowed on emergency use basis and yet they are rolling these vaccines out world wide with no long term testing.... and now they are allowing the mixing these vaccines

    This post appears to be complete bunkum.
    Are you qualified in immunology or related sciences?

    Vaccines do not cause autism.
    https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/autism.html
    Why are you claiming that vaccines cause autism?

    Please take general vaccine discussion to the vaccine megathread. This is one for discussing experiences of those who have had the vaccine

    Completely untrue and categorically debunked with those involved losing their medical licenses. Only idiot anti-vaxxers still believe this not understanding that the whole thing was a big grift for money (and yet they'll still think "big pharma" is after them).

    The Mmr is a live vaccine and given 4 weeks apart from a non live vaccine.
    2 separate vaccines targeting two separate parts of viruses. Fail to see your point. Anyway that's for the other thread as Mods have pointed out.

    I survived my incredible stupidity I took the opportunity of being outside the house (at the GPs) to go to the shop.

    It was just coincidental that it was the same day as the vaccine. The feckers in the shop had moved everything around since I had last been there. Couldn't find anything.

    Your concern is touching.

    @harrylittle, are you willing to take any vaccination?

    Why do you believe that these vaccines have only emergency use authorisation in Europe?

    I had the AZ vaccine on Wednesday and felt fine on Thursday and Friday. But I was definitely a bit out of sorts yesterday and I also feel a bit muzzy today.

    Has anyone (HCW or otherwise) got their second Az dose yet?

    I’m due mine at the start of May, but have not received any guidance if it will go ahead (at the 12 week mark) and/or if it will be substituted with a different vaccine.... (due to the current suspension)

    Paul Reid sent an email to all staff last week on the HSE mailing list. He said we'd get AZ, but it would be pushed out to 16 weeks, rather than 12.

    Has any vaccinated person been able to opt for a vaccine brand other than the one scheduled for them. I'm very reluctant to take AZ (I won't go into details). I'd feel much happier taking Pfizer. Anyone had any luck sourcing an alternative through their GP, Pharmacy or wherever ???
