A question about Convid-19 vaccine shot.
-
Does any one here know or have some information about how safe it is to get the Covid-19 shots if one has unknowingly been exposed to the virus without any severe complications. I want to go for the vaccine but I'm not certain if I have had the virus or not & I have idea how safe that would be.

Medical experts (ACTUAL EXPERTS, not social media hoax promoters) recommending getting the vaccine after having had COVID-19 because the immune response elicited by the virus is different than that induced by the RNA vaccine and there is evidence that immunity acquired by infection may last a shorter time than that induced by the vaccines.

Have had the first Pfizer jab (South Africa). The accompanying documentation that was given to me was very clear on potential reactions / risks, and in my mind are perfectly acceptable. This was based on reported results on literally many millions of delivered shots world wide. I had no reaction other than a very slight inflammation and no pain of the injection site Neither did my 89-yo mother and her two sisters (both in their 80s). Almost their entire retirement facility has been vaccinated (about 200 people), with no severe reactions reported. Achieving 'herd immunity' will drastically cut down on the potential of the virus to mutate and produce a more hazardous / infectious variant than what we have seen. High numbers of infected people with high viral loads are a much more productive breeding ground for new variants and new waves of the virus. I don't see why I or anyone else should be exposed to further risk just because of a minority of ... Well this is a public forum or else I would put down what I really think. I can't believe how politicized this whole issue has become and how some seemingly intelligent and well-informed people have been caught up in an anti-science / anti-vax fakery. I can remember back when I started school, vaccination was mandated, for the health of the general population and the individual. No questions asked or expected.
The US is kinda broken. There's no single source of truth everyone can agree on, and it amazes me they're still somewhat united despite of that. It's like, they don't get along, they don't believe each other, but they're also fundamentally too lazy and don't care enough to do anything about it. So, surprisingly, it just works.

I've had it and I've also had both my shots - I'm still alive! I did have nasty side effects from the first jab, and much, much less from the second - but Herself (who gave Covid to me in the first place) had no side effects at all from either. While there are risks associated with any vaccine, they are pretty small and the number of serious effects from the virus are very very low (especially compared with the number from the virus itself). I'd say "go for it" - if only to be sure that you can't easily get it and pass it to other, more vulnerable people. If nothing else, pretty soon you will need to be able to prove you are vaccinated to go shopping, let alone to a bar, or a new job ... :laugh:

Dear OriginalGriff, Thank you for your sharing your experience... but... I Hear my screen reader reading laughing after your quip to the effect "You may as well bend over...". I am sorry for that and your state of mind. There is a tendency in our society to laugh after admitting to something very sad like an addiction or death and or taxes. Admitting that the powers that be will force this person to get this very dangerous experimental MRNA treatment and that he has no choice but to comply is just such a sadness that is Not at all funny but very dystopian. I have followed the corona virus disease event very closely and I use Ivermectin vitamin D and zinc to stay safe. I am safer to be close to than any who has had the experimental treatment. I am sorry for any one who has had the treatment. Some day when and if you experience chronic illness like arthritis, Chromes disease, inflammatory driven complexes etc. I hope you remember this episode in your life and that the so called vaccine could be the cause. Too many people harmed by the Pharmaceutical Industry never realize why they are so sick. Please consider learning about Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and other elements of proven protocols that can and do prevent and cure infections from a wide spectrum of viruses including those said to cause severe acute respiratory syndromes like covid 19 or its variants. thank you for your contribution here blessings chuck

My husband got Covid last July. He was sick for about 3 days with fever, achy, couldn't eat. He works for a Hospice group of the local hospital. He got the vaccine this past January (Moderna) and is fine. I think he was just a little lethargic for a day (as I was when I got the vaccine having not gotten Covid.) The biggest challenge was keeping away from him when he got it. I made him stay downstairs and even left his food on the steps. Of course that made me be quarantined as well but that didn't matter to me - I just had to have food delivered. I've been working remotely since 2005 anyway.

It was my understanding that HIPAA made it illegal for an employer to enquire about your medical status. Of course HIPAA is US-centric, but given how other countries are even more restrictive than the US, I would imagine there are equivalents elsewhere... But then, these are unusual circumstances. And I find it interesting how laws are thrown out the window the instant we find ourselves under said circumstances.

Or it was that time I was near a microwave, or ate a banana, or went to the beach and/or ate that bad shellfish, or inhaled some asbestos, etc. Know why? Because these are INCREDIBLY CCOMMON ailments that have existed long before COVID.

In most of the first world, the recommendation is that people who (know that they) have had COVID should still be vaccinated, because there is some evidence that the vaccine gives additional protection (particularly) against strains of the virus other than that which the individual was infected. While a local reaction (soreness, aching), particularly to the first dose of the vaccine, is more common and may be more severe in someone who has previously had the disease, there is no evidence that more severe vaccine reactions (which are very rare, in any event) are more frequent in such individuals. Consequently, concern that you may previously have had a very mild infection should not prevent you from accepting vaccination. If you have more specific concerns, you should discuss them with a trusted physician. I write this as a physician and volunteer COVID vaccinator.

Hi techie007, LOL OK then... I like capital letters too much and I do not like any of the companies who are pushing the so called vaccines. I am prejudice being a DES baby and survivor of six major surgeries... But there is plenty of evidence that Ivermectin is a powerful substance and safer than the experimental drugs that are not free and are not nearly as well tested. Ivermectin insures that I can not be infected so I say I am safer to be close to than any one who is not taking Ivermectin and do have one or more of the MRNA treatments because the jabs do not stop people from being infectious. I may be a mass murderer though so Yea that is not what I was talking about. I was not specific enough. The companies who are providing the jabs are proven mass murderers and repeat offenders though. I am not pushing any thing? I am saying please learn more... ??? prejudice much? ... thank you techie007 for contributing here and blessings chuck P.S. could tell me how to open all the comments or posts? I am blind and navigating this is very hard having to click to open then the page reloads and I have to navigate to the place again... thanks again chuck

Wtf?! When managers say "ask the coders," do you say, "Don't put all coders on a pedestal. Don't forget that there are s****y, opinionated people in every profession"? Or is, "I just generally object to such blanket statements" meant to be incredibly ironic?
Calm down. I'm just saying it's not always so black-and-white. Some people think that doctors--ALL doctors--somehow possess superhuman knowledge, skills, talent, etc and should never be questioned. When it comes to something as important as health, there's a reason you're often advised to get a second opinion. I've never heard of anyone holding coders to such standards, so to answer your question, no I don't, because it never comes up.

I think a person has much bigger problems in their life, if they don't trust their primary care doctor. I also think a person has even bigger problems in their life if they don't have a primary care doctor.

No, it isn't.They can ask because of their duty of care for their other employes. Like always, it's a simple question with a complicated answer. Is it a HIPAA Violation to Ask for Proof of Vaccine Status?[^]

Wheeler's specialization of Sturgeon's Law[^] to the Internet states: "99.97% of everything on the Internet is crap." It is worthwhile noting that the percentage is asymptotically approaching 100% as time goes on.
Software Zen:
delete this;"99.97% of everything on the Internet is crap."
Isn't that about the same percentage they give to the survival rate of having covid? :-D

If you already had the virus, then your body already has antibodies in your blood which will help you fight off the virus in the future. This is not to say you will not get sick again, however, you will likely not get as sick as if you didn't already have those antibodies in your blood. That's what the vaccine does: it gives you a more mild case of the virus which forces your body to produce the antibodies. So, if you already had the virus, it may not be necessary to get a vaccine (but I'm not an immunologist). Is the vaccine safe? You have to judge that for yourself and understand your own health. I know people who have received the vaccine with no ill effects. However, my sister had a mild heart attack which was related to blood clotting one week after receiving the vaccine. She's 39 years old. Truth.

Dear community, I wrote a reply... I used controversial words about proven medicines and got this "This message has been flagged as potential spam and is awaiting moderation" I am very sorry for this community. You are provided blinders by the masters and exploiters of Humanity here... You are infected by a very bad parasite! very sad. Do not submit to the JAB... it and I.T. are not safe and "they" don't want you to see that blessings chuck

Everyone has different opinions and have read different articles, but here's where I'm at. Get the vaccine if: 65+ years old and have not had the virus, 75+ years old regardless of having virus, or underlying health condition that makes getting the virus more dangerous. For all other cases, risks associated with the vaccine out weigh the risks of the virus.

Had the virus, Got both shots, both made me feel like I had the virus again for 1-2 days. I would say its much better to get the vaccine than the actual virus as I was out for 2 weeks with it. I did talk with my doc and public health officials they said their was very little risk with getting the shot even after being exposed to the virus.

Everyone with a low-ish post count gets that message. Stop being paranoid, and stop spreading misinformation.
Thank you techie007, I admit that my anger at the word spam was wrong but I stand by my statements about the pharmaceutical industry being organized crime and Ivermectin being very powerful against severe acute respiratory syndrome. Sure I am paranoid. Paranoia is healthy when surrounded by blind and deaf and dumb people who deny that conspiracy can be. It is irrational to trust that experts are right, that conspiracy is impossible etc and it is rational to question everything and be on the lookout for criminal behaviors. I'll try and be more specific and polite then thanks chuck

If you have already been exposed to the virus and survived, then you have already developed natural immunity to the strain of the Covid-19 virus that infected you. It has been found that new variants do not very enough to re-infect most people with resistance (so far). Now from a technical standpoint, what I would recommend at this point is to go to a hospital or clinic and get tested to see if you have sufficient immunity not to require a vaccine shot. In this case your medical record would show you have immunity and then you could not be pestered by people over not being vaccinated. However, it is possible that health professionals could still suggest vaccination. If vaccination is recommended by health professionals then it would be a very good idea to go through with it.

My understanding is that if you've had Covid and get the vaccine then it is no more harmful than if you never had Covid and take the vaccines. Here's the CDC's take on it. Frequently Asked Questions about COVID-19 Vaccination | CDC[^] I'm currently job hunting (in the US). My big fear was that I was going to have to prove I'd gotten my vaccination before I would be allowed to work for my next job. I have run the numbers given out by the CDC in the US against 2018 deaths as a control and came up with the opinion that the disease is quite deadly, counting as third leading cause of death in the US. Right behind Cancer and Heart disease but so much higher than the next category down that the deaths had to be from a new source.
US Numbers only
All numbers taken from 2018 as the control year except covid

Heart Disease = 655,381
Cancer = 599,274
Covid = 336,802 <== where covid fits from 2020 as of Dec 31, 2020.
Accidents = 167,127
Chronic lower respiratory diseases = 159,486
Stroke = 147,810
Alzheimer's = 122,019
Diabetes = 84,946
Influenze, Pneumonia (the "flu") = 59,120

Intentional self-harm (suicide) = 48,344

Source: CDC and https://covidtracking.com/data/nationalYou mention that you don't know if you've had the disease, but you know you were exposed. My opinion is that you treat that as if you didn't get the disease since not every exposure results in an infection. Then make your decision accordingly. My opinion is that the vaccine is the better choice but that's just an opinion. Both sides of this equation are filled with FUD. I didn't go through everyone's answer but the worry you didn't mention was the effectiveness against new strains of Covid. Here's a quick article on that.
