So for not having a vaccine I’m classed as thick etc.
I’ve had 2 and the side affects were horrendous I was bed bound for 2/3 days.
pre vaccine I’ve had covid twice and it was little more than a cold

Most humans have no specific immunity to infections or viruses to which we have never been exposed - our immune system is usually able to respond to pathogens once they and their effects are detected in the body. Vaccinations and inoculations use various mechanisms to alert our immune systems to pathogens which are deemed to be dangerous. The overwhelming majority of vaccination recipients have far better outcomes with dangerous diseases than the unvaccinated. 200+ years of experience from Jenner onwards shows how successful this can be. Lots of us had various vaccinations for various infectious diseases before we reached school age. Measles, mumps, german measles, tetanus, polio and TB periodically killed or disabled large numbers in this country as recently as the 1950's. Today the numbers of infections and serious illness are insignificant. Any medical procedure can result in 'side-effects' and/or allergic reaction.
Bed bound for 2 days would be an unusually strong reaction to a vaccine but was significantly less severe than many people vaccinated or unvaccinated experienced with early variants of covid.
If you had the infection relatively recently BEFORE receiving the vaccine, then it is highly likely your immune system was attuned to the virus and indeed leapt into action when the contents of the vaccine arrived in your system. The apparent severity of your reaction to the jabs (you call it side effect) is likely an indicator of the efficacy of your immune system and the infection acquired immunity. The jabs probably add additional armoury to your system further improving your likely outcomes to any subsequent covid infection.
Your experience suggests you might not have become seriously ill from infection with the particular variant you experienced. Your "side-effects" to the jabs were probably an immune reaction. Short of a vanishingly rare allergic reaction there is nothing in any of the jabs to make anybody clinically ill. None of which suggest the vaccines are a bad idea.
Declining a jab which most probably adds to one's immunity armoury won't help your chances in the future but proving a negative is of course impossible.
I had noticeable reactions to the first 2 jabs I had but nothing to the 2 subsequent.
My first covid infection (after 2 jabs) was debilitating, unpleasant and lasted a fortnight but ultimately not serious. My 2nd infection (after the 3rd) was like a bad cold, it's impossible to conclude whether my acquired immunity helped me most, whether it was the vaccinations or if that variant would never have troubled me unduly. It's probably a combination of the first two hypotheses.
FWIW I'll continue to accept flu and covid jabs as they are made available Covid killed people I knew, influenza type viruses can have lengthy and nasty consequences, I'll take the minuscule chances with the jabs over the much larger and recurrent risk from those pathogens. And that's based on what's happened around me in the real world and not disseminated on the internet by the cynical or gullible.
I have been fully vaxed but I’m thinking of skipping it from now on. I’ve never really been fully confident of the RNA vaccines and I did have some reaction from it. I’ve contracted Covid once, in the summer of last year, and the symptoms were mild. A cough and fatigue for about 3 days. No fever. In general I’m pretty healthy and lead an active life. Also, with Paxlovid being around now that appears to significantly reduce the symptoms of Covid. I’m thinking that’s the better option for me. Not 100% sure yet but I’m leaning that way.

A refreshingly knowledgeable and logical post. Much applause from me.

Could the fact that you had a mild Covid infection be due to having had the vaccine?
How many bosters are they suggesting we have . One a year as the flu is acceptable. But bosters after bosters ? Sorry not for me
I can’t quite understand this. Effectively a yearly flu jab is a booster in everything bar name. Yes it’s tweaked every year to reflect the latest variant of the influenza virus but it’s just a vaccine to prevent serious complications if infected with seasonal flu. A yearly covid vaccine also protects against the worst of covid for the vast majority.

I don’t have a crystal ball so can’t answer that. In other words, who knows. But, I am probably prepared to take that chance now, especially as Covid has morphed into an upper respiratory virus and there are other recovery medications to take if need be. Like I said, I’m uncomfortable with the RNA vaccines. I did feel my immune system was weakened somewhat after I took the vaccines and that is what is driving my thought process. If there was a tested non RNA type vaccine out there I’d probably take it but I don’t believe there is.

I think you'll find that Covid can cause serious long term lung damage.
Having a wife who survived being hospitalised with Covid pneumonia, no second thoughts whatsoever about having the latest jab, had it last week. Always seems to me that those recommending skipping it are a bit thick. Normally the same people who think Elvis is still alive and the world is flat. Just my opinion.

Not just damage to the lungs, but other organs as well. There are numerous studies that have found that a Covid infection can cause damage to the vascular system, which of course connects the whole body.
Recent studies have shown that the virus can lie dormant in the body. The virus is too new to know what effect that may have in the future.
Fortunately whilst some Governments want to forget about Covid, scientists are still studying its effects.

@Rob Genuine question. What made you feel that your immune system Was somewhat weakened after receiving the vaccines ? How could you make that assessment?
I take vitamin D, Magnesium and Vitamin K2 and don’t drink heavily or have ever smoked but I would have no way of assessing how my immune system was on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
I’ve always had a strong immune system. I don’t believe I’ve ever had the flu and I rarely get a cold. Even at the ripe old age of 70 (just!) I still run 5 miles 2 or 3 times a week. But, I do now seem to have more allergies which never affected me before. It may be my imagination but I do know my body and it just feels a little different. Nothing major but it’s just how I feel. I’ve always liked to have as ‘clean’ a body as possible. We’ll see as I realise the benefits of a Covid vaccine. No big deal. It’s just what I’m contemplating.

Thing is Rob I think unless you’re having something like Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy where the treatments can suppress your immune system, I don’t think there’re is a test that is widely used to assess someone’s immune system. How do you know that you’ve always had a strong immune system. That’s a perception not a verifiable statement. You could in reality have a poor to average immune system. You wouldn’t necessarily know. What is “a clean body” ?

I’ve got iPF , terminal. My wife is unbelievably fit and healthy and runs every day. We both get Covid. I have a slight cough, she is rushed to hospital and nearly dies. No sense at all to Covid.
I've had four covid jabs(along with most ppl who followed the hype from the gov/media) but I'd rather not any more. Now that I've read more I'm not impressed by the lack of trials/investigation of possible side effects. Also reading that there have been no studies of the effects on expectant mothers so to answer a question on here I would not encourage my wife or daughter to have an unproven vaccine

Lots of people know. It’s the whole point of vaccines. They reduce the chances of you dying. They reduce the severity of your symptoms. They make you less likely to transmit the disease to others.
We’re lucky to have ShootersHill here explaining things from the medical side. Anything else is just hot air or disinformation.

This is a vaccine. Thalidomide was a drug designed to cure miring sickness, not a vaccine. Vaccines have been shown not to harm expectant mothers.

There wasn't time to trial it, unfortunately... but billions of shots have since happened so plenty of evidence now. Similarly, not much evidence for long term effect of COVID virus, for exactly the same reason. Also, hardly anything is tested on pregnant women, for obvious reasons. Always a balancing act, and I remember when my wife was pregnant how scary it is and how little decent guidance there was, in general... what food to eat/avoid. Vaccine or full effect of the virus? What a choice!
‘If you're pregnant, it's important to get vaccinated to protect you and your baby. The antibodies your body produces in response to the vaccine can also give your baby protection against COVID-19. You're at higher risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 if you're pregnant.’
’ It's safe to have the vaccine during any stage of pregnancy, from the first few weeks up to your expected due date. You do not need to delay vaccination until after you have given birth.
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 reduces the risk of having a stillbirth.
There's no evidence COVID-19 vaccination increases the risk of having a miscarriage, pre-term birth or other complications in your pregnancy.
The COVID-19 vaccines do not contain any live viruses and cannot give you or your baby COVID-19.
They have been widely used during pregnancy in other countries and there have been no safety concerns. In the UK, over 100,000 pregnant women have been vaccinated.’

Got a text from the NHS on Thursday, I’m a priority for Flu & Covid vaccinations because of my age. So had a shot in each arm the same day, felt a bit rough on the Friday but definitely feel it’s worth it.
This was my fifth Covid jab, I pointed out my last was only four months ago and still got the go ahead. Feel a bit vulnerable as I have emphysema, at my annual check up the nurse thought I had long Covid. As I’d had a bout of ‘flu’ ? In May it’s possible I suppose, anyway I’m slowly feeling stronger.
Taking this off topic a little so apologies. One thing that’s always amazed me is that the most important possession anyone can have is their own body yet so many people and I’d say the majority couldn’t tell you very much about how it works and even where their vital organs are located. Now the human body is phenomenally complex and I’m not suggesting that everyone should even know a tiny percentage of its physiology, anatomy and pathology. What does astound me is if you were to ask what the spleen does most people couldn’t tell you what or where it is. Same goes for other parts of the anatomy. Take the heart. You couldn’t get a more iconic or fundamental organ yet how many truly understand its sequencing or could name the chambers ? I think you get my drift. The point I was probably badly trying to make is that much of the nonsense spoken about vaccines and immunity and other statements on health are often based in total ignorance of the science, steeped in old wives tales and a general lack of knowledge and understanding. I can’t help but think that basic anatomy and physiology should be part of the national curriculum and definitely should include first aid up to St.Johns level.

Agreed. And like in some Scandinavian countries media studies should also appear on the curriculum in order to give people an idea who controls the press and media, and how to recognise disinformation. Essential in democracies which depends on having a well informed electorate to work.
Breaking: ‘The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to a pair of scientists that developed the technology that led to the mRNA Covid vaccines.
Dr Katalin Kariko and Dr Drew Weissman will share the prize. The technology was experimental before the pandemic, but has now been given to millions of people around the world. The same mRNA technology is now being researched for other diseases and even cancer.’
Had my 5th jab yesterday and the got the Pfizer one for the 2nd time. Upper arm and shoulder still aching this morning but not as bad as they were last night when it felt like they were seizing up. No pain, no gain as they say…of course, I always thought they were bleeding stupid for saying it and still do.

Not Covid related, but another important vaccine has been developed:
“As a malaria researcher, I used to dream of the day we would have a safe and effective vaccine against malaria. Now we have two,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Demand for the RTS,S vaccine far exceeds supply, so this second vaccine is a vital additional tool to protect more children faster, and to bring us closer to our vision of a malaria-free future.”
