Coronavirus

Certainly appears to be the case that Moderna will mess you up more than Pfizer.
Well, to immediately go against that, I had Pfizer and my eldest sister had the Moderna booster. I was on my ass, she barely got a headache.
 
I guess you are priming your immune system - the more severe the reaction the better your immune system?

Reactions: jlo
I went out on my works night out after having my booster. I mistook the nurses recommendation to drink plenty of fluids by sinking eight pints. I surprisingly felt ok the day after.

I guess my sense was the more severe the reaction, the less immunity your system had already built up through exposure?

I mean I'm really grasping at straws here tbf.
 
Two Moderna and the second really messed me up for two days. The best science I've seen is that better/younger immune systems fight slightly harder but it's not clear cut
 
End of the day, as long as the vax is giving me a migraine rather than an aneurysm, I'll call it worth it vs. catching COVID unprotected.
 
I had AZ for my first 2 and Moderna for my booster. Apart from the sore arm, no other after effects
 
2 x Moderna and 1 x Pfizer for me. No reaction to the first, wiped out by the second, somewhere halfway between the two for the booster. Got the flu jab same time as the booster FWIW. Seems like there’s little rhyme or reason to reactions, or, if there is, being a Wolves fan isn’t one of them.
 
I had 24 hours of feeling like I was dying after the first one. Just a little bit shit after the second. If I felt OK I'd be booking my third now but I don't want to risk feeling even more shit than I do at the moment, I can't have any more time off work.

This was my thoughts. A lot of colleagues had felt terrible after the booster so I sort of was apprehensive to have it and then just sort of forgot to bother organising it anyway. I’m not a very organised person, and being a fit and healthy 30 year old I didn’t think it was massively necessary given other people my age weren’t having it, my laissez afire attitude to most things and I’ve never had a day off work in my life.

So I didn’t want the booster to avoid having issue with work, but now I’ve got Covid it’s fucked things right up with work…

Now the booster might not have meant I didn’t get it anyway, I’m not really ill as it is. But in hindsight it might have meant I didn’t get any symptoms, so then I wouldn’t have tested and then it wouldn’t have messed up work, life etc.

Avoiding isolation is a big enough reason to get the booster. But I missed the boat
 
Good to hear you aren't on death's door, mate.

Didn't realize you were the same age as me, no wonder we butt heads sometimes!
 
Sports stat of the weekend.
Yesterday when Wasps played Munster in the Champions Cup a total of 59 players between the 2 teams were unavailable due to covid, close contacts etc.
 
After a few issues with the website I got my booster booked in for Thursday. I was a bit rough with my first jab and fine with the second so we’ll see what this one brings!
 
AZ for first 2 then had Pfizer booster at walk-in centre in Worcester. No effects from any and played 5 aside as normal on the night as did another lad I know, we're both 50.

Did have an inexplicable nose bleed about 45 mins after booster though, probably unrelated
 
Tested positive on a lateral Sunday lunchtime, went and got the PCR and just had the message back that's its positive. No surprise as I've been feeling steadily worse as the day goes. Luckily my isolation ends on the 22nd so won't mess up Xmas, now have to just avoid the wife (not a massive hardship) and the kids to try and make sure they don't get it and spoil their Xmas
