Are those people who have had a severe reaction to the vaccine the same people who would have had a severe reaction to covid?
I'm having apparently a mild reaction, extremely tired last night, just the lightest touch of queasiness in the stomach and the lightest sense of headache. This morning still tired, but I think that's it.
Also, arm has quite a pain in it that is somehow easy to ignore.
Me, too, though worse with the first shot than the second. Neither one lasted more than half a day. (After the 1st, my arm also felt stiff, but not after the 2nd. Weird.)
Not necessarily. I think they all use an adjuvant, which is meant to turbocharge an immune system response. See: https://bityl.co/6QIP
Not sure, although my reaction to the shots (I got side effects from both) did share some similarities with my Covid symptoms.
Weirdly enough, I actually got a fever from the second shot, which I didn't get when I had Covid.
As I understand it -- and I'm no expert so welcome any corrections -- a severe reactoin to the vaccine comes from the vigor of your immune system. For instance, older people have weaker immune systems and therefore generally less ferocious reactions to the vaccine. So if anything, the correlation with covid symptoms is negative.
But we're all different and our bodies and immune systems are very different, so there's no "rule" about it, just a general tendency.
I'm an old fart, and my vaccine reaction was also no more than annoying, despite my fears after reading about night sweats, fevers, chills, headaches, nausea, etc. Whew!
Maybe if my immune system is now going to hell that counterintuitively explains why my allergies are worse than ever, that it's over-reacting when there should be some element that calms it down.
That time when you brought up 33 blood clot cases of AZ-OX' vaccine as *not* a reason to pause? It turns out there's over 200. Two different teams have now come to the same conclusion about the implication of the immune system's response.
So, being armchair epidemiologists and health policy jockeys, what's the baseline case count for J&J's vaccine to be paused -- 100, 200, 300, 0.001%, 0.01%, 0.1%, etc.?

NorCal efficiency on display, another thing for which Newsom should be thankful: https://abc7news.com/amp/levis-stadium-covid-vaccination-vaccine-eligibility-levi-santa-clara-county-dashboard/10520614/
Keto?
Again, no big changes in infection rates. NM got out of the pool (10 or less new cases/day/100K). Most bad states (25 or greater) seemed to have plateaued or may be dropping slowly. Cases are going up in ME and PR along with OR and NV, not really plummeting anywhere. Even though new case rate plateauing in MI, hospitalizations and deaths still shooting up (both rates past NJ now too).
Twenty states above 40% vaccinated (1st dose), almost all the rest above 30% (MS lagging a bit, no data for NMI). MI at 37+%.
Total cases are going down despite increased testing
Disproving Your Supreme Leader's contention that with each new test, you get a case, so the way to reduce case-count is less testing.
I should be able to add my own anecdotes on vaccine side-effects come Tuesday morning as I am scheduled for shot number 1 on Monday afternoon. Meanwhile, in numbers:
The EU crossed 650K deaths with 4/14's numbers at Johns Hopkins.

Had to pass this along because it's too stark of a contrast of values:
Rate of infections per 100K, last 24 hr period, WHO:
Sweden - 86.5
Michigan - 78.3
Hawaii - 5.8
Japan - 3.2
Taiwan - 0
Clearly, the Biden-Harris regime is giving the Aloha State an undue allotment of vaccine as payback for the Republican* Secretary of State's willingness to cover up El Tio Pepe's old boss's non-Hawai'i birth.
*Duke Aiona, the GQP Lt. Gov. of Hawai'i during Barry Hussein Obummer's first two years as president, could have blown the lid off the One's presidential ineligibility, but like his later comity-pimp partisan compatriot in Georgia in 2020, this Polynesian Sauced Raffensperger put his own reputation over the good of the country.
