Pfizer Vaccine Sidelined?

You got vaccinated, that's all what matters.

Thank you for your service!

We don’t have the choice in the UK but thanks for your helpful advice about something I can’t change.

Never heard that Moderna is better than Pfizer.

You make a new vaccine fear thread everyday?

I felt nothing on my first shot and nothing on my second shot. Way better than the long term horror stories from people that never recovered from COVID.

I got the Pfizer vaccine last week. I thought everything was going okay. But then yesterday, I was murdered. Now you can argue that the two things are unrelated, but I have NEVER ONCE been murdered before this vaccine.

I’ve not made a vaccine thread before. I was genuinely curious if anyone had any other negative experiences.

I didn’t run a good race, I haven’t said I regretted the vaccine have I?

People on this website aren’t very nice. I should probably stop engaging.

Most people feel fine within a few days, but I had fatigue until about 10 days after the first shot. I wouldn't have run a good HM under those conditions either. Give it another week and you'll likely be fine.

Got my 2nd Moderna yesterday. I fell asleep on the couch last night (haven’t done that in 15 years). It took everything I had to make my wife breakfast for mother’s day. Feel like I got hit by a truck this morning.

I coach a girl who got her second shot early last week and it knocked her on her butt for a few days. She also did not race well yesterday and did report not feeling well. Based on the workouts she's been doing and how she felt following the shot I think it's reasonable to say that was a factor. At the same time, I got both shots and felt fine and most of the other athletes on the team who were vaccinated either didn't miss anything or took a day off and were back to normal. So unfortunately, your experience does happen to a few unlucky people, but for the most part, does not seem to be the norm. Hope you feel better and can pick up normal training and racing where you were soon.

You too? Can't be coincidence!

Got the Pfizer vaccine a week ago. Since then, I've been dumped by my imaginary girlfriend, got run over by a Mack truck, have had hiccups 24 hours a day and can't seem to remember how to type.

AVOID THE VACCINE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

Why don’t you guys just F off?

I’m happy I got the vaccine. I have an autoimmune condition which makes COVID a very scary prospect for me.

However I am interested in other people’s experiences especially with running. I felt fine on warm up and first mile or two. Hit me like a tonne of bricks miles 4-7 and I dropped out. I was hoping to have a sensible discussion with people about it.

Seems like you're having a sensible discussion with people about it. What's the problem?

The silver lining: The more marked your response, especially to the second shot, the more "prepped" (against SARS-CoV-2) your immune system is likely to be.

Anecdotally, some exceptionally healthy people seem to have some of the strongest reactions to the shots--again, esp. the second. However, the responses of people healthy and not, fit and not, young and not, have been all over the map.

The bolded text is not consistent with what I have read. Everything that I have seen says that there is no correlation between vax side effects and efficacy of vax for individuals.

You might want to chill dude. Some folks give serious responses. Some just have fun.

Peace

There are so many possible causes and variables, I wouldnt rush to pronounce the vaccine as the culprit. What seems related to you, may be in fact just that. But even if it is it's not apparently a dramatic effect. Bit off your game. Temporary inconvenience. We respond differently. But I would w as it a bit longer before attributing anything serious to the vax.

I have heard about many different reactions, most very mild, if even worth mentioning.

No reaction at all for me w Pfizer shots beyond the sore spot on the arm for a day or so.

Really? Get the vaccine and soon thereafter feel like crap. Assuming the vaccine caused this is rushing to judgement

I feel fine and I have not been sick over these last 14 months. No shots for me.

Demand is plummeting.

Most of the posters here are so young they're probably safer having a corona virus person cough in their face and go through an asymptomatic infection.
