Vaccine Megathread No 2 - Read OP before posting

Goes through a lot of already disproven stuff then facepalms himself by pushing Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin (not in this video, but he was mentioned as the source for the Aussie politician who was ranting abut vaccines in their parliament) and pushes into big pharma dogwhistling.

It's a pity because it comes over as "learned" and a lot of people will buy into it as it can seem true and reinforce their own opinions and there is good information there around how they're developing cancer treatments.

Dr. Campbell has fallen a long way.

Wikipedia, some ‘solid’ research you have done.

“An Australian immunologist says he has had “the worst 24 hours” of his life, after getting caught up in the Craig Kelly COVID-19 controversy.

Liberal backbencher Craig Kelly was condemned by Prime Minister Scott Morrison yesterday for his “dangerous and irresponsible” Facebook comments on COVID-19.

The outspoken MP was also calling for the use of unproven drugs to treat COVID-19, and sighted the work of University of Newcastle immunologist Professor Robert Clancy.

Professor Clancy, told 6PR’s Liam Bartlett he does not agree with all of Mr Kelly’s views, but said the use of on hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin is highly effective.

“I have had the worst 24 hours of my life, I wanted to crawl under a rock,” he said.

“I have never met Craig Kelly, I don’t know Craig Kelly, and a lot of his views I don’t understand.

“The data is crystal clear … ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are of significant benefit when used early in the disease.”

He said the controversial treatments have been used to “save lives” in other countries, but shouldn’t be used instead of a vaccine – rather together.”

Very weak attempt to discredit a man with a very solid track record in his field.

Yeah, Wikipedia knows best. Lol.

It isnt 'wikipedia' it is an actual official statement from the University referenced on wikipedia. To try to deflect this as 'wikipedia'is really desperate stuff.

He discredited himself with ivermectin and other nonsense.

You latch onto these cranks and expect people to be impressed by their credentials while running away from the crucial point that the overwhelming weight of expertise and credentials and studies back the consensus on covid and vaccines.

So if you start an 'argument from authority' and then contrarians like Clancy are your champion - you have lost in a landslide.

If you dont think it is relevant why bother responding? So you disprove your own claim by your action.

Its obvious you feel you have to respond as the point stuck home buy you cannot debate the point itself below so have to resort to these kind of baiting remarks...

He was never the Darling of the forum ! But he wasn't the promoter of rabid misinformation back then either . Must be lucrative for him somehow ...

I got my second booster last week (fifth dose - Pfizer with the adapted ba4-5) as high risk mid thirties.

I’ve had covid twice (most recently 5 months ago,) I’ve never been so sick after a vaccine. The previous ones had no affect on me, two days after getting the booster last week I couldn’t get out bed. Migraines and muscle fatigue were awful, was literally in bed dying to go to bathroom but couldn’t get myself up (I did eventually before you ask.)

Fairly awful experience, in hindsight I shouldn’t have bothered getting it. Having the virus itself is nowhere near as bad. Won’t be getting another booster, regardless of what my consultant said. Was out of action for at least 5 days

My first two doses were moderna. All others since then have been Pfizer. None of them previously made me sick at all.

It was the “Pfizer and adapted BA4-5”

Just follow up on this.

I ended up in A+E this morning due to sharp chest pains and struggles with breathing throughout the night.

Doctor put it down to Pericarditis as a result of the booster. Scary stuff, felt like I was having a heart attack this morning. Symptoms likely to persist for next two weeks

im done with these vaccines now

ECG, echosound, xray and blood test. One of the tests suggested such.

The doctor was very clear on the diagnosis and even stated they are extremely common at the moment with this latest patch of boosters.

antibiotics prescribes to help with the inflammation with strong painkillers and sleeping tablets as sleep is key to recovery (haven’t slept well since the booster.)

Pretty surreal experience. It’s one thing reading this stuff online and assuming it’s nonsense until it happens to you

yes. Timelines vary though, the ED doctor stated my stats showed I was well above average fitness for someone my age so suggests it should clear up in a month or two.

fingers crossed

That certainly is surreal .

Pericarditis resolves quicker than myocarditis and js the better one to get , if there is such a thing !

Take it very easy...until they tell you to get moving again .

I presume they will be checking an echo etc again for you ?

Still vanishingly rare even if more awareness of it now .

Yes.

Thanks , I guess .
