Maybe this is a silly question.
Could the variance in arm pain more due to the practitioner than the reaction to the vaccine.

Anecdotally, I’d say both. I have a flu jab each year, and assuming that’s broadly similar year on year, it varies from “have you done it yet” to “ouch” depending on jabber. Typhoid always feels like a blunt knitting needle to me, whereas the same jabber can follow up with anything else and it’s a mere prick.Maybe this is a silly question.

It can be both; if it's just saline, even a bad jabbing wouldn't cause too much an issue, but it's a vaccine, so...Maybe this is a silly question.

Earlier in this thread I posted a video of a Dr John Campbell - he is apparently a Nurse Teacher with a PhD - trying to compare the workings of the Pfizer pill with that of Ivermectin. Whether he is correct or not I do not know and only posted it because the Pfizer pill was mentioned by Po-yu Sung. In earlier videos he has posited that the Covid-19 vaccine was being incorrectly administered. According to Dr Campbell the vaccine is supposed to be aspirated, in other words, to be drawn back to see if there is any blood in the syringe, which would indicate that the a vein has been breached. It is this possibility, low as it is, that can contribute to blood clots and myopericarditis. Edit: Oops, I unintentionallly combined the two - it should read myocaditis and pericarditis.It can be both; if it's just saline, even a bad jabbing wouldn't cause too much an issue, but it's a vaccine, so...
These days on the news it says scientists found the possible mechanism for blood clot, saying it's the adenovirus leaking into blood. It sounds to me that a well done intramuscular injection should reduce that chance.
This seems to be a reminder to the unvaccinated not to assume Omicron is less severe than Delta: "Omicron cases on average are much more mild because there will be a much higher percentage of re-infections and breakthrough cases, which are highly protected against severe disease."Some good information here... going to be an 'interesting' couple of months.
Providing vaccine still prevent severe illness (which seems to be the case but more details would come), I guess the possible "next step", if indeed needed, would be limiting gathering for unvaccinated people. I assume most of people in this forum are not in that category.Given the seeming very strong infectivity of the new strain should we expect again to alter our Christmas plans? it seems that gatherings are still OK while working from home is again encouraged but I wonder how long they will remain so. I am pleased that a sensible position on mask wearing has returned.
Martin your enthusiasm in that post is misplaced. We cannot have people being scared to death of a disease which for the vast, vast majority is a mild infection. Are they all scared to death about heart disease and cancer as well?
I agree with your outcome - get your shot - but that's on the balance of probability that the official recommendation to get it is sound; not because I'm terrified of long covid. Or anything else. Are we all losing our minds?

Richard4 out of 5 hospitalizations are for the unvaccinated, so I think we need to act on the data and restrict the movements of the unvaccinated. It's a real problem and we need to address it.
I know Russ, but I don't think we've gone far enough. I know there are legitimate debates about freedom of choice, but in this case the unvaccinated are choosing to overwhelm the NHS and endanger the health of other (vaccinated) people who do not have access to treatment for illnesses other than Covid. That seems to me to be very, very unfair.Richard
We now have vaccination passports for large venues in England. I think already in Scotland.
It will be interesting to see how that goes.
Does it apply to football? How will they manage 50000 in a queue.
Of course all the fans will mix in the pub before and after with those who cannot get in.
Interesting, a patient had lunge/heart problems and got treatment with oxygen tanks.
Really? The last time I had a lunge problem I was able to treat it with just some vigorous stretching.
