For COVID-19 "I took the Pfizer vaccine against my better judgment. I then found myself getting very ill, not being able to breathe well, dizzy, and feeling faint. A trip to the emergency room and the test results showed a blood clot in my lung. I will never take another vaccine. There is no oversight for these vaccines, and you cannot sue these people. This government and pharma are corrupted to the core. The vaccines are a CASH COW for them."

For COVID-19 "I took my second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine in July 2021. Just a week after the second dose, my legs and hands started becoming weak, and I ended up not being able to walk short distances. I was also partially paralyzed for 6 months. Later, I got small fiber neuropathy, arthritis symptoms, gastro problems, dry eyes, severe dry mouth, paresthesias all over my body, extreme fatigue, Raynaud's, autoimmunity, and a lot of other dangerous conditions. This vaccine made me a different person from what I was before. I wish it would have never happened to me or anyone."

For COVID-19 "I had no problem with the first two shots of Pfizer, but when I took the booster, I started getting pain in my legs and back. Sitting and getting up, I have so much pain it takes my breath. So I know it was the booster shot that caused my problem. I am afraid to take the second Pfizer booster shot. I am an 81-year-old woman."

For COVID-19 "I am a 48-year-old male in good health. I had a mild case of COVID-19 in November 2020. Now both my wife and I received the Pfizer shots. We both experienced mild flu-like symptoms the next day. However, less than 36 hours after receiving the vaccines, we both felt fine. We have had no other side effects."

For COVID-19 "I've got peripheral neuropathy in my lower legs and feet and a low blood platelet count! I was very concerned about the vaccine making my medical conditions worse! I was injured from the polio vaccine 60 years ago. Lost muscle in right shoulder! When Delta started spreading like crazy, I decided I'd take the vaccine! I got both shots of Pfizer with absolutely no side effects, none, zero! Next week getting boosted! GLTA"

For COVID-19 "While the place in my arm left a bit of a knot for a few days, this is to be expected with nearly any injection. Over the next few days, I was mildly achy (as advised). Other than that, I had no side effects. Now there are radio ads that run about every 10 minutes or so every day. It is clear to me that the advertising budget is enormous, as if the company is making money hand over fist! Perhaps if the company had the foresight to make more than one version of the commercial, it would not be so irritating!"

For COVID-19 "Would never have known I had COVID had I not known I was exposed, and that my partner (who hadn't gotten the updated version yet) was sick. I never had any notable symptoms from the vaccine, and I had tested every time I had a cold because I felt terrible. But when I actually got COVID, I never felt sick enough to consider testing until I became aware of a known exposure. I actually got a couple more shots than recommended for my age group, but they obviously worked as designed because I had almost no symptoms from the virus!"

First dose, sore arm at injection site, slight nausea, lightheadedness, headache, fatigue. Fasted beforehand. Day 4 - cold symptoms, sneezing, runny nose. Second dose, redness, swelling, and soreness at the injection site lasting a week. A month later, syncope twice. Possibly a preexisting condition. Two months later, unusual inability to regulate temperature, night sweats, and chills for about a month. Resolved. Five months later, close contact prolonged exposure to COVID with no symptoms. Other unvaccinated in the group had flu symptoms, one hospitalized, one elderly vaccinated had flu symptoms."

For COVID-19 "Had tested positive for the virus 10 weeks prior to vaccination. First dose was painless, no interactions or side effects. Second dose was administered 28 days later, experienced fatigue and tiredness for 2 days. Currently unaware of efficacy to Delta variant."

For COVID-19 "What comes to my remembrance is no noticeable effects until the following day my arm. I got the vaccine, and it would ache slightly but it did not seem too sore that I could not use it. Total of shots: 5 without getting COVID."

For COVID-19 "I had both my vaccines, both were Pfizer. No real dangerous side effects, but the second one was a bit worse. I got anxious, nausea, and pain in the arm the night I had it, but the next day I was fine. I'm glad I decided to get it."

For COVID-19 "After the first dose, I felt exhausted for about three days. On the fourth day, I foolishly embarked on physical activity and developed a heart arrhythmia, breathlessness, and chest pains. Later, I was diagnosed with vasculitis (a condition that I had never heard of, let alone ever had before). I had the second vaccine 11 weeks after the first with no increase in symptoms. The vasculitis resolved, but not the arrhythmias. I was treated with atenolol and saw a cardiologist who hasn't confirmed the link to the vaccine, but says that it is 'possible.' I don't know whether I will get a booster as I am now a bit of an invalid!"
