On page 510, February 7th, I raised the question about whether your reaction to the first vaccine was any indicator of how you’ll react to the second. Is any evidence emerging yet on this?
Yes @Dovefromabove . I am quoting a Dr John Campbell. He posts a daily U tube video, where he looks into all sorts of things around Covid. He looks critically at scientific literature and shows fact from fiction. Some of these posts are quite long but he has taken to giving the main points in summary first if you don't have time to see the whole thing. He really seems to know what he's talking about. He often quotes data from the Zoe tracker app, this is how I came across him. The point about vaccine reaction was made a couple of days ago he said if you just had slight reaction it's better to just let your body do it's own thing, rather than trying to suppress it with paracetamol etc.
Ah right Allotment Boy, but what I had wasn't a mild reaction, I don't take analgesics lightly because they make me ill, it was my first jab. Thanks also Dove, trouble is you read one thing one minute, and something else he next!! Read this week 3 eggs a week put you onto a big slippery slope to meet the grimreaper.
@Nanny Beach I agree it's very confusing. In spite of me being skinny as the proverbial rake I have raised sugar and cholesterol, the diet advice for them is almost entirely contradictory. My OH is the same as you paracetamol gives her a bad reaction she has to be really ill to take anything for anything. I think what the doctor is meaning is that some reaction is good it shows you are making a strong immune response. Of course they know with severe disease that too strong a response is part of the problem hence the use of steroids etc but this is restricted to the really sick. It's all about balance.
Apparently the french are saying you only require the first vaccine if you’ve already had Covid, saying that the french have said a lot and got it wrong
"There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true"
Well no-one actually knows how long antibodies last, Dr Michael Mosleys, GP son had covid was pretty ill, volunteered to give plasma, and no antibodies were present. After vaccine Wednesday, Thursday laying on sofa, thought I would take dogs round the block yesterday, got as far as friend I deliver paper to, that was it, had to come home. Just stripped the bed, and am wiped out, cannot believe it. It's like post viral fatigue
