Pfizer made heroin feel like garbage in comparison. Like a hug from the inside.

I sleep half as much but have twice as much energy.

Thanks, Pfizer.

Honestly if Time Magazine doesn’t name Pfizer Man of the Year…

Feel great today but yesterday felt like crap all day. Vaccine kicked my ass for 24 hours lol.

The data guy does anecdotes, shock shock, to go to bat for Ron fucking DeSantis. Fuck off Nate you insufferable douche.

Evolves to still being a little bit silly, after half the population have some science juice in their veins.

lol I would be willing to bet even in the bluest areas of DL it’s nowhere near 95% indoors now. In red areas it’s not even 50% anymore since we’re doing anecdotes.

It’s the two week anniversary of my second shot!

And I have no real way to celebrate. Maybe I’ll lick a rail or two.

what, is there a liquor store strike or something?

TrueNorth32 · April 22, 2021, 3:41pm

Update 18 hours later: No longer feels good.

jmakin · April 22, 2021, 3:56pm

Yea i felt genuinely crummy for a day starting about 16 hours after shot and then lost my appetite for several days after. Nothing too severe though. The appetite loss was weird.

iron81 · April 22, 2021, 4:18pm

At t+25 hours since 2nd shot, only side effect is mild soreness at injection site for both doses. Even took off work today planning to feel crappy.

i2i · April 22, 2021, 4:19pm

my parents get shot 2 tomorrow, if they start feeling shitty can they take ibuprofen right after or do they have to wait a certain amount of time? Can’t remember if I saw a suggestion to wait x hours or not

superuberbob · April 22, 2021, 4:19pm

And drink by myself? I’m not an alcoholic.

I got Moderna and wasn’t told to wait on taking Tylenol if I needed it.

jmakin · April 22, 2021, 4:25pm

IANAD and please don’t act on anything I’m saying but i asked the technician and he said wait a few hours (pfizer dose 2) but then the pharmacist said it didn’t matter.

CaffeineNeeded · April 22, 2021, 4:47pm

There’s no evidence to support not taking ibuprofen, Tylenol, etc. Anyone saying otherwise is an idiot, and there have been some medical people saying otherwise

mosdef · April 22, 2021, 4:53pm

You could always feel crappy about something else, since you’ve booked the time already.

JordanIB · April 22, 2021, 5:19pm

When I took my first shot, the guy told me that I could take Tylenol, but specifically said not aspirin or ibuprofen. No idea if that was based on anything.

CaffeineNeeded · April 22, 2021, 5:25pm

It’s not. It’s fine.

eyebooger · April 22, 2021, 5:27pm

I was also told this before my JNJ shot. I didn’t end up taking anything, because nothing hurt all that bad. Just mildly annoying aches all over for 24 hours.
