Covid vaccine side effects, wished I had stayed with the previous pharma which had mild side effects.

The House covid pandemic subcommittee has released it's final report.

I just had pfizer covid vax and flu vax 4 days ago. I think this is my 5th covid. The first 3 were Moderna. Covid in the right arm flu in the left. Left breast got very sore and left elbow yesterday so that was on the flu vax side. Covid side didn't bother me except short term spot soreness. A little post nasal drip and stuffiness. Much better today. Still have pneumonia vax and shingles vaxes to go to get where doc wants me to be on vaccinations. I am late 60s.
I have not ever had covid to my knowledge despite my husband and inlaws all getting it last Christmas. I was the only one who didn't and I tested repeatedly because I really thought I would get it. All vaxxed and no one had severe case- more like a cold. Inlaws are 94 and 88 so was concerned for them especially but they fared well.
Last year I had not gotten the flu vax yet and got really sick with influenza type A in early mid November. Took tamiflu but still felt like I was going into pneumonia. Worked very hard at keeping stuff coughed out of bottom of left lung by using inverted positions and recommended cough positions plus drank a lot of liquid. Don't want that again! Put me out of commission for over 2 weeks, kept a pretty good fever for a week.
Everyone has to decide for themselves. We don't know the effects of a lot of things we do- microplastics in food and drink and cosmetics, pfas in everything and that is killing cattle in west Texas, food additives, inhaling cleaning chemicals, flame retardants on everything, pfas in teflon, chemicals in drinking water not to mention the air. I am really more concerned about some of those things personally but everyone has their own concerns.
There may be some correlation to blood clots with vaccines and certainly covid as I am reading about. Of course there is probably some correlation to being more sedentary and blood clots, too, which a lot of us were during early covid shutdowns. Time will tell on the vaccines, we just have to do the best we can with the information we have.
Also, that House report is of no interest to me whatsoever. I have no interest in what a bunch of politicians opinions are on the subject. Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency have become so polarized politically that they have ceased to function rationally or with any respect or empathy. Way too much money is at play in politics especially since Citizens United supreme court decision. If you want to know why something happens follow the money. I trust nothing that is said anymore plus these people are not experts in the fields of science or medicine.
I am much more interested in the data and facts from respected medical doctors and scientists who spend their lives and countless hours searching for answers. Any papers published in peer reviewed journals must be exactly that. Reviewed by their peers before acceptance for publication. Competing labs will try to replicate or disprove results which provides more information and support to findings or more questions to be answered. You can't just publish anything. It goes through rigorous review. More funding is needed for scientific research. Tax cuts have resulted in a loss of funding for basic scientific research which will affect Americans' health.

Ah yes indeed, follow the money.
Who financed the gain-of-function research?
Who owns the over 3000 covid related patents?
Who bragged on MSNBC about their 20:1 return on covid investments?
How did hospitals survive financially?

I would love to see a published double blind placebo study that proves mRNA shots are safe & effective. The couple that I've read that make those kinds of claims all kept reducing the study cohort to cull out every person that got sick.

Recent Capital Hill hearings confirmed there was mass censorship the first several years. Finally, scientific papers are slowly being allowed to be published.

RFK Jr's book, the Real Anthony Fauci has 8 single spaced pages of references, many of which are peer reviewed published papers.

Dr. Peter Breggin's book Covid19 & the Global Predators cites over 1100 references.

An interesting peer reviewed study was published last week on vax shedding influencing unvaxed menstrual cycles.

Jwellsy, that is not regarded as a legitimate journal, nor are the editorial board members experts in the field. Also, the only vaccines where viral shedding is possible are live attenuated vaccines. COVID vaccines are not live attenuated vaccines.
You and others are free to believe whatever you want, but that doesn't make it fact. RFK is not a medical expert, so I really have no interest in his opinion on vaccines, nor the politicized opinions of Congress. He is against the polio vaccine. I got that in elementary school in the 1960s when we lined up to get the oral vaccine on a sugar cube. Parents were greatly relieved by the arrival of that vaccine. Thank God, because many people suffered and polio was a great scare. I have full use of all my limbs unlike many of those who contracted the disease before the vaccines were created.
Siiiggghhh,,,, I feel like we are going back to the dark ages. Opinion media and social media, and the Wild West of the internet where anyone can say whatever falsehood they want with no repercussions have destroyed this country and our democracy. We no longer have one. How I long for the days when real journalism still reigned. It truly was the " watchdog of democracy".
COVID vaccines were not brand new technology. Research leading to the vaccines was at least a decade or more in development in response to SARS and other viral threats. I hope this current attitude about vaccines doesn't prevent the development and use of vaccines for when the next pandemic rolls around.
As far as mass censorship uncovered by Congress- you mean the same governmental body who has been throttling research, cutting funding, trying to silence and going after scientists who are studying and publishing research on climate change so they can keep the oil money flowing. I would laugh at the irony and hypocrisy if the repercussions from that weren't so dire. As it is, I weep for future generations.
