Not true either. Like most things there’s pros and cons. The vaccine is far from perfect. However the benefits for the individual in vast majority or cases outweigh the problems and for society as a whioe they are a benefit. Most people recognise that. Some don’t.

Same here, also since mid-November. Couldn't raise my arm above my head without sometimes intense pain, which made decorating a bit fraught, but I daren't argue with SWMBO.

21 year old neighbor nearly lost his arm to thrombosis after getting jabbed. His arm is still bad a few months later.

It sounds like they might have accidentally injected into a vein rather than the muscle! I read of that happening of quite a few people and all of them described that taste hitting them within seconds.

Sat on the fence, I've had 2 jabs but don't believe they come without risk of complications.

Everything you do comes with potential risk and complications. At least with vaccines, these potential risks are well understood , quantified, assessed and documented.

That's the scientific consensus and where all sensible people should be positioned IMO.

How do you identify what's a vaccine side effect and what's not though? It's really difficult, certainly at an individual level. Outside of a few cranks I don't think that many people fall into the binary you mentioned.

It is, but if you look at how every potential side effect mentioned is viewed with the same level distain for want of a better word it sets a tone.
I bet many don't even mention them due to the likely replies. I did second think my reply early but posted it anyway as that's what was said on the day.
It's up to the individual to weigh it up but the sniping at any possible side effect surely must put other people off posting up their own experiences.
Anyway, I've said my bit so I'll leave it at that.

It’s quite easy when 50m people have had it. Have the number of strokes statistically increased? No? Then the vaccine doesn’t cause strokes. Blood clots is an interesting one as covid causes blood clots so it’s not surprising that the vaccine might. That will be listed as a side effect and the risks are weighed against the benefits. As not having the jab increases you chance of getting covid (yes it does) then having the vaccine, even with the side effects, reduces your chances of a blood clot.
