Originally posted by mightyrooster View PostI’ve been jabbed 4 times now and haven’t caught it yet as far as I’m aware, even though both my kids had it pretty bad.
I have been jabbed 4 times, the first two were astrazeneca and the second two were pfizer , finally caught covid in March last year and that was after my 3rd shot which was pfizer which i had in Jan of that year, apart from one day of really bad sweats and fever then a couple of days after of feeling like a bad flu, it wasn't quite as bad as i thought it would be and was fine within 7 days, better half much the same.
As for originally having the jabs, i was very skeptical about the vaccines being rushed out so quickly but the better half has a compromised immune system so in the end it was a no brainer.
As for any after effects covid or covid vaccine wise i'm not to sure, better half has sailed through no problems but September last year i got blood clots in my leg. Astrazeneca had been linked to clots in the early days but this was 15 months after my second and last astrazeneca shot, it came up about 3 weeks after flights from Darwin. A quick look back at family history and my father got clots in the same leg when he retired from work and was only about a few years different than my age when he got them, also my sister also got them about 6 -7 years ago at a very similar age to my age when i got mine. Also about 12 years ago my father was tested and found he had a gene called factor v leiden which is linked to increase in blood clotting, my sister got tested then also and she had the same gene, i spoke to my doctor at the time and he said looking at my bloods he didn't think i had anything to worry about, but i got tested after having the clot and i have the gene also . i see the specialist again at the end of March but he doesn't seem overally concernced, just might mean i have to take some extra precautions when i am flying.
Still in the back of mind did covid bring on the clot or did having the covid vaccines bring on the clot but i am thinking more that it comes down to family history and genetics but there is still a lingering doubt somewhere.

I will have to work out some exercise routine when i retire, at the moment with work i am fairly active. During the time i had the clot and was off work for around 7 weeks i put on weight from being fairly inactive but at the same time i got to the weight i was back in the 90 s and 2000's and actually felt better again having some meat on my bones as i was fluctuating between 84.5 k - 87 k but now sitting around 92 k and honestly feel better at that weight.

i've been jabbed 6 times (sometimes i go in and get them to do me in both arms) and so far as i know i haven't had it yet. at least twice i've been with people for a couple of hours who had it but i didn't get it. i've been lucky. i've also been lucky that i haven't had any bad effects from any of the jabs

With a survival rate of 99.96% & currently 0.1% of people in intensive care from covid there's not much to fear. Live life without fear.
