I had it at 1145 yesterday and didn't even feel a scratch. I returned back to my home office and cracked on. The evening activities were uneventful and I went to bed around 2300. At 0200 I awoke as I ached all over and felt hot...like a classic onset of flu. I then tossed and turned and couldn't get comfy or back off to sleep until it was time to get up at 0645 to pack off Fuego jr to school. Starting to feel better as I type but 'eyes on storks' isn't a bad description of how I feel right now!

Had ours a few days ago. I had a sore arm and a lump at the injection site and felt chilled and tired for a few hours - nothing else. Wifey also had the sore arm but had aching joints for about two days.
We have both had serious bouts of Covid,

My 90 YO old Uncle, who resides in a care home, tested positive for Covid last Thursday. He has had both jabs (Phizer I think). This, in my opinion would have been close to a death sentence 6-9 months ago but he was unaware he even has it!
Gor bless the vaccine!!

A lot of people don’t realise the aim of the vaccine is to keep you alive and well, it doesn’t stop transmission (but does reduce it), what it is really effective at is stopping people getting very ill and then dying.
It is worrying that sectors of the community are significantly more hesitant and a lot of these people are in groups identified as being at a higher risk. These groups will continue to self identify as victims whilst internal underlying unknown social reasons are hindering their own health and well being.
As we are not safe until we are all safe, it’s in all our interests for the NHS to work through these issues and get all groups to participate.

This will be the big problem. I can understand that some people have an in-built resistance to having vaccines. There might also be something in the beliefs of those members of society, who describe themselves as being one of the in-vogue acronyms, that also gives them a genuine fear of the vaccine.
What annoys me is the amount of nut-cases who are drawn-in to follow Professors, like Dolores Cahill (Use google to see her materiel), Then someone with too much time on their hands and an O'level in biology posts it all on FB.
Her, Mr Ike and the bloke on FB with the O'level should get on pretty well in their star-ship while on the way to the Alpha Draconis system to meet up with the lizards.

The people refusing a vaccine, especially in high risk groups, are going to have a Darwinian experience. They will either get it and die, get it and not know like many have or stay in and 'exist' for the rest of their miserable lives whilst blaming their salvation on an intangible deity and spreading the bad word.

Had my first BionTech jab yesterday.
Knackered doesn't describe the feeling of being knackered today.
Looking forward to the second so we can get all of our lives moving again.

Wife & I have had both now, she had the AZ and I the Pfizer, neither has ever had the Flu jab and the only issue we had was a slightly sore arm which was sorted by a nice hot bath and taking a couple of Paracetamols. Have to say the local surgery that was doing these in Waddington village have been great, well organised, efficient and just lovely people.

Ive had the full whack of Covid and now both Jabs...you don't want the full whack...
My wife works with a 'non-believer' who is married to a black american (where she gets her thoughts from)...and she/they were totally against ANY covid precautions, complaining about moving desks, opening windows and when Bosses said to wear masks she demanded to work from home...all of their family now have covid...but it isn't their fault - its the schools fault.
Luckily, they're young enough to tolerate it better than we did.
As an aside - the Guy tried to unload a 24" Machete to me because he knew I was "a Veteran like him" - he'd found couldn't export it to USA through the post! I said I only needed my 7" combat knife and told him to hand it to the police.

2nd booked in for a week Saturday.
Multiple papers reporting some twitchiness about 21st June. Some areas showing upticks in infections but the real figure to watch is hospital utilisation. Trouble' with the daily metrics is that once you get to low levels of infection, if you have 1 case in your area and it doubles to 2. probably in the same household, that's a 100% increase in the eyes of a reporter. We need an exit plan from reporting something that we have to learn to live with?

The hospitalisation one is the important one and one that is hardest to misinterpret.
Apparently it’s spreading in the young uninoculated so healthcare might not take a hit as long as they don’t visit their elders, so any impact will have a couple of weeks delay before hospitals take a hit.
