I wanted to wait until the Army gave me one for this very purpose. If I had an adverse reaction I wanted to make sure the VA was going to pick up the tab for any issues. Well I was a good employee and got it through the VA so fingers crossed down the road I have no adverse reactions. <br /><br />I know when I got my first shot I had some vertigo and a lot of arm pain and low grade fever for a few days. Arm pain felt like a tetanus shot. My second dose was a different story. I had horrible vertigo, full blown flu symptoms and muscle aches worse than flu a or flu B I had before. I missed a day of work and really should have missed a second but didn’t want my patients to have to reschedule months later in the VA. My reaction happened within about 8 hours of getting my second shot.

Ear loop masks do NOT protect against any microbial infection. READ THE BOX and some of you in this world are dense morons.<br />4. The fact that face masks and gloves have been thrown on the ground through all of this show how bad it is NOT.

But when it IS supported, it would likely be taken care of within your service while on AD if symptom correlation can be addressed, but that role will be subsumed by the VA when you&#39;re enrolled for their medical treatment. The bottom line is, we often don&#39;t know the long term effects of many medicines; it can often take decades. <br /><br />Many of these studies are retrospective studies and there is a scientific need to purge the irrelevant data from the batch. E.g., if you examine ANY medicine, check the side-effects from those who actually took the medicine from those who took a placebo. Notice how those taking the placebo quite often report symptoms, some of which would be concerning. Remember too, that correlation does not imply causation; there are many variables in the analysis which have to be accounted for. All of that chaff has to be sorted from the wheat. But, in the final analysis, it may take years to show some correlations, and with many studies, new information can reverse earlier &quot;data claims&quot;. Agent Orange and it&#39;s variants (pink, white, blue, purple) had numerous studies touting their risk to health factors. But it was years later that knowledge of unique disease revealed itself. Therefore, your question is a valid one, along with any type of medicine. That is why there is the caveat often expressed about the risk of taking the medicine versus not taking it...IAW your provider&#39;s assessment of your health needs.

Everybody that I know that has received the vaccination has not had any severe side effects. How would this be different than any other shot you receive when you’re in the military? As a private I didn’t object to the thousands of shots I received, why is this any different?

If there were any side effects they were dealt with. VA will snowball you until you give up or die. <br />Remember Agent Orange? <br />The only difference I see with COVID is, we know the side effect right now. The likelihood of you dying is much higher if you don&#39;t take the shot. Also if you do get COVID, how many will you infect before it is caught?

HOWEVER, the U.S. Congress specifically granted a complete WAIVER OF LIABILITY to all the drug companies initially to develop the covid vaccines. that means that NO ONE can sue ANYONE for ANY INJURY sustained as a result of taking any of the covid vaccines. to my knowledge, this blanket waiver and protection from suit is still in effect covering any litigation involving the covid vaccines.
