I have been on the phone twice with the doctor today. The interesting news is I get my first shot on Thursday.
Has anyone else received it?

I haven’t and don’t care to have an experimental drug which they didn’t do animal tests on. I don’t want to be a lab rat. 98% survival rate. You still can’t do anything without mask and lockdowns will never come off until them morons in the Liberal government are removed. Expect no change in your present life.

How many millions of people have had the shot now? That is testing.

How many millions of people have had the shot now? That is testing. It is. Rumours and BS fly around the world on the Internet, Twitter, Instagram, magazines etc. You have to decide whether you are going to listen to some unqualified hack from a media outlet, or doctors. You have the right to decline the vaccination.. I did not post this looking for arguments. I think there are enough threads on other sections here, debating the merits or dangers. No one on this board is remotely qualified to criticize the shots, but that will not stop the "Internet know-it-alls" from passing judgment. I was merely curious if anyone had been vaccinated yet. That's all

Not in the age group to get it yet, but will not rush to get it.
I know I’ll eventually have to, particularly now that Dear Leader has started to float the idea of a vaccine passport for travelling.

I plan to go to the range tomorrow, in advance of the shot. Just in case my arm is sore Thursday.

How many millions of people have had the shot now? That is testing. Maybe. Maybe not. The AstraZeneca vaccine has been pulled in many other countries because of problems but they are still giving it here. I work ambulance in a very small community, and no way Im taking it. They had two vaccination clinics about a month apart at the local community center. About a week or so after each clinic, our call volume went through the roof. Strokes and heart attacks. We had two deaths in one night. Im not qualified to say the vaccine caused these issues, but all of us on car found it very odd. Then theres the question of who's keeping track. Answer, nobody. They are watching for an allergic reaction, not strokes and heart attacks. We noticed it because we operate in a community of about 450 people. In a large city it might takes months before it became apparent something was amiss. The strange thing to me is the Astra vaccine is causing blood clots and bleeds, the same thing that causes strokes, which is what we are seeing. A good friend is in Vancouver right now recovering from a massive stroke after he got the Moderna vaccine. The long term affects are still unknown. For me the risk/reward just isnt there. I've already had covid and it was no big deal, much like it is for 98% plus of the people that get it. If there was a contraceptive vaccine but after taking it you could still get pregnant, and you still had to wear a condom, would you still take it?? Thats how stupid this is.

Well stated. I think those that work the field end of medical and those that have done a lot of haz mat training understand how weird all this is and don't understand the panic for such a really non issue disease. Given early treatment the survival rate of even old people is amazingly high.
What I never got was this was the ONLY disease I"ve ever heard of where you stay home until you just can't any more before you seek treatment.... lets see how well that would work with cardia/cerebral etc... events.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Did either of you get innoculated? This thread is an example of why I usually hesitate posting simple questions. They tend to devolve rapidly. Health Canada post below. Once the product is on the market, the manufacturers (AstraZeneca Canada Inc. and Verity Pharmaceuticals/Serum Institute of India (SII)) are legally required to submit reports of adverse events to Health Canada.https://www.canada.ca/en/health-can...nes-treatments/vaccines/astrazeneca.html

We are scheduled for next week and if we cannot get one particular vaccine then we will be passing until such time as we can.
I have had a number of friends working in Health Care that have been vaccinated (1st and 2nd dose) and all are fine. Close friends over 70 were vaccinated yesterday and they have not experienced any ill effects as of today. A number of people we know in seniors homes have gotten their shots and they are all fine. All of these people were with the Pfizer inoculation.

I got my first shot a week ago—Pfizer Vaccine Initially shot hurt Ike hell, next day could feel where needle went in but not too sore. I told a bunch of people that in the Army we got a bunch of shots with an air gun—I don’t think they believed me. I didn’t mind the air gun but disliked the extra hour of PT we got every Thursday during Basic.

I liked the air shots in the US Army, no pain.

The square needle thing has been floating around for a long time. 😄
We said "square needle in the bag".

I must be gettin soft in my dotage. I was suprised at how relieved I felt emotionally after getting the shot. After my second I’m gonna head down to the States to visit Family and pick up a pontoon boat. Don’t mind the quarentine upon return—April is Mud month here anyway.

My wife got her shot on Saturday and mine was the next day. She had a bit of sore arm for 2 days but only noticeable when pressure was applied. It is now okay. I had no problems at all except a bit of a twinge if I lay on that arm. Our ages are 83 and 84.
We are booked to get our second shots in July (4 months). Don't know how much protection we will have until after the second shot.
