NormanH Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 This is just for information. It does not imply that I am 'anti-vax'.In any case it is reassuringhttps://www.midilibre.fr/2021/02/27/hypertension-fievre-malaises-ou-paralysie-faciale-quels-sont-les-effets-indesirables-de-chaque-vaccin-9397606.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The report does not sound very encouraging to me .. tho I did read, in the UK press, that younger people seemingly have stronger reactions to the vaccines than older people.But it was also noted that younger people seemingly produce more anti-bodies than old(er) people so perhaps an adverse or strong reaction should be seen as being a help rather than a hindrance.

idun Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Fact is that these vaccines have been rushed out, usually they would take years and years. And then some would still have side effects, because everybody, has a different 'body'.Should any of us be more worried about the possible side effects than getting killer covid, don't think so. Methinks that the best thing this newspaper could have done was have a damning report on the governments miserable rollout of this vaccination, without probably putting some off.For me the side effects on the list they gave me was well documented. I have a bit of a sore arm and shoulder, and felt giddy yesterday, but I am on medication for something else that can also make me feel giddy, both have this side effect, I am fine today, although the puncture site is still slightly sore.

anotherbanana Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Yes, from what I have read the folk who have had side effects also had quite a load of anti-bodies to start with. A natural reaction then. Oiseau who is stuck in London has a huge circle of friends of whom only three seem to have had any noticeable reaction.Not really a problem unless it seriously puts people off. Much of it is hysteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 It is a miracle that they are available at all, and all the contraversy should not blind us to the brilliance of the reseachers who have created them in such a short space of time.

I realize there are a lot of unanswered questions regarding all of the vaccinations. Yet, I will take mine when it is offered to me. Not at all happy about the fluk up the French government and EU have subjected us all to, but I cannot change that. I cannot imagine the current French government will be re-elected.Each day it is just an unfunny laugh. Always 20 some thousand new cases and between 200 and 400 deaths. EVERY day - rare exception. I have no idea how the government can live with that, but clearly they can. There are still no vaccines to speak of available here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 [quote user="anotherbanana"]By the way, Biden is trying for 100,000,000 jabs in 100 days![/quote]Well, I guess if you have the vaccinations, where there is a will, there is a way. France doesn't seem to have the vaccines to give, so I don't see how they can even deliver on their promise to have all adults who want the vaccine vaccinated by the end of Summer 2021. That is a long way off, but with no vaccines coming in and none being manufactured by Sanofi (at least at this point), which was all promised, I don't see how this will happen.Still, I'd rather be in France than in the USA.

anotherbanana Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The vaccine manufacturers have licensed at least four French factories to produce the stuff. The results should begin to come through imminently, one hopes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Oh, I didn't realize there are 3 companies authorized to manufacture vaccines in France. Good, bring it on.I have no idea how long this type of set-up takes (safely), but the sooner the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one can only hope.As I have written elsewhere, 3 more centres have been opened in the Dordogne. They equally have no doses available or all their doses are already accounted for. But it's one very slow step at a time. I am now determined to be dogged and determined (see, I learnt sooo much about life from my late, beloved dog[:)]) and see things as going in the right direction even if it is only at a snail's pace.

Lori Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I'm with ya Mint. There is only so much we can do and we must look after our mental health too. Too much worry is very bad for us.We will get there at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Side effects include ladies growing beards, men’s privates shrinking, backsides getting bigger, the Oxford vaccine making people speak English, grannies running marathons backwards, Islam being denied by its adherents, Arab ladies tearing off their veils........ so much happening and one honest result Trump telling the truth!

Gardengirl Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Wooly, I do hope that nobody hits on your post searching for lesser-known side effects on the internet to repeat to a wider audience on the dark web! The French medicines safety agency has published its first analysis of side-effects caused by Covid-19 vaccines since the start of vaccinations in France:https://www.connexionfrance.com/French-news/First-report-into-side-effects-of-Covid-vaccines-in-France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
