My wifes heart is still ****** off after dose three. Feels like its fluttering a few times a day. She is not happy about that. Same brand of shot every time for her (although they offered her a choice for shot three).

Covid booster
- Thread starter TK4
- Start date
I laughed when douggie opened it up to almost everybody starting monday. Probably 80% of the people currently eligible haven't been able to book yet. Increasing the number of people hammering the site by many times isn't going to improve things.

Both hubby and I feel like the arm that had the injection isn't the same...for me personally it doesn't have the same range of motion...for example trying to do the hooks on my bra when getting dressed is a very painful process for my injection arm...never was before...
Had the same message today. I refreshed the site a few times and it worked.
Got my 3rd dose at the Metro Convention Centre downtown today. Long lineup outside but took about 35 mins + the 15 min wait, so not too bad. I'm one of the oddballs that got two doses of a vaccine not approved by Health Canada. I was abroad at the time and had access to Sputnik V so made sense to get it. Took a while to figure out what I had to do and for Toronto Public Health to register those two doses. Got a half-dose of Moderna today which means in 14 days I'll finally be considered fully vaccinated here, hopefully...

My company randomly decided today 3 doses is considered fully vaccinated
Interesting

Ours indicated that we're still 'fully vaccinated' with 2 doses...I'm expecting this to change soon enough.
None in my family or friends.
Had heart issues after dose 2 not sure I will be getting dose 3.

Ugh, both vaccinations made me very sick and I also contracted Covid (don’t know the strain) and it kicked my ass. I was sick af for essentially 2 weeks and still have lingering symptoms

Am not an anti-vaxxer, but weighing the mortality rate of Omicron against the assumed "benefits" of dose #3, is it really worth it?
Quote from a white paper by Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA vax:
"Omicron has shifted its preferred tissue target for infection and replication to the upper airway instead of deep lung. That could explain why it is more infectious, replicates to higher levels, and yet causes less severe disease"
Edit: Here is the link to the study

Edit: Here is the link to the study
Has Omicron shifted receptor binding specificity away from deep lung tissue?
Could this be why it appears that Omicron is less severe than other variants?

It’s not about you.
True. Someone was complaining to me at work that the vaccine was originally touted as reducing the amount of C19 making it's way from host to host...I never looked into it. And his complaint was that it was sold and touted to the population as protecting others instead of just yourself.
I did not research this further, and I'm still planning on getting my booster. But I just told him that to me makes no difference, as I'm protecting myself and our family. He can do what he wants (he's double vaxxed also).
So here in Kingston we are ground zero/highest cases per population for cases right now in Ontario and nearly the whole of Canada. Lots of reasons, many make me angry. We just had to self isolate and test and at the testing centre it is jam packed with people that have contact notices. Results came back negative so that’s good but not unexpected. Our contact was supposedly at a Xmas fair in a farmers field where we deliberately stayed away from everyone and we were outside masked the entire time. Regardless, others did get infected.
Omicron is ridiculously contagious and while we may be seeing preliminary reports of the lack of severity of symptoms…we have had more people die from COVID in our local hospital than at any other time during the pandemic over the last two years. We are full. We are shuffling patients about. I don’t hear the Ornge helicopter arriving anymore, it’s not bringing people in! So many schools are closed as teachers have tested positive or been told to isolate.
Over in the UK and in Europe there’s a panic. A real panic that due to a combination of factors, fatigue, bad politics, that health services will get overrun.
Omicron has a doubling rate of less than 2 days, compared to 4-5 for Delta. Even if it is less severe, it can swamp the health system and make it grind to a halt.

For all the vaccines don’t work crowd…
Many vaccines require multiple doses. Diphtheria (not on this list) requires 3. Your flu vaccine is yearly, tetanus every 10 years.

I had a minor pulmonary embolism two weeks after shot two (Pfizer) but it could be just a coincidence. I had a more severe PE years before any pandemic was on the radar. I'm going for shot three ASAP because I care about Canada and Canadians.
If caring about the welfare of Canadians was the main qualifier to be Prime Minister there'd be 39 million people more qualified than the one we've got.
The initial impression that omicron was less severe is influenced by the hospitalisation numbers being from what the case numbers were a couple of weeks ago give or take, and the death numbers from being what the case numbers were a month ago give or take.
A month ago, the very first case in the world hadn't even been diagnosed yet. (It was around ... just not diagnosed.)
Maybe it is less severe. Right now, we can only hope. Say what you want about the way Ontario has been handling this, but the words from Dr Moore a day or two ago "hope is not a strategy" are absolutely correct.
