Comment on bird flu
boomzilla@programming.dev 1 week agoMRNA or viral vector vaccine (like AstraZeneca)? I’m not even in the vicinity of being knowledgeable about medicine but AFAIK that vaccine was the one causing myocarditis not the MRNA based.
I got a sample size of about 15 family members and a few acquaitances (including a cancer patient in chemo, a 90 year old and some kids) who all got Biontech/Pfizer MRNA vaccines except one who got AstraZeneca. The MRNA ones caused no side effects as per my inquiry the one with AstraZeneca was the only one with short term side effects. And another one who got a flu shot in parallel to Biontech who was ill for a few days.
I got most of the boosters up to JN.1 and I haven’t even had the mild aches at the injection point.

This is in the US during those early days, at the time, the only approved ones are all MRNA 2-dose vaccines, very likely Pfizer.

Seems correct. Didn’t even get approval at all in the US and the company withdrew their application. So yeah. I don’t want to doubt the experiences of your relative especially when it was so close to the vaccination. Could’ve actually been a serious side effect. I just never heard of it in my circles. What I heard of were friends who got covid multiple times and contracting more illnesses like respiratory viruses or stomach bugs over time aka wrecking their immune system.
