    Need more details on this to be sure. It sounds like an isolated case but there's no answers yet.

    https://www.wpxi.com/news/top-storie...FVSPGS3ILJZUI/

    BETHEL PARK, Pa. — There have been some negative side effects reported worldwide from the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines, but a Bethel Park woman told Channel 11 she has been affected by something that hadn’t been seen at all yet: paralysis.

    The 33-year-old woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she felt fine in the hours after getting the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine last week. However, she said 12 hours later, she woke up in the middle of the night with no feeling in her arms or legs.

    “It was the scariest thing in the world to go to sleep completely fine (and walking), to wake up 1:30 in the morning and not be able to move at all,” the woman said. “I’m literally counting on my daughter to hand me my phone to call to get help.”

    Paramedics came and rushed her to Jefferson Hospital. In the coming days, she was moved to Allegheny General Hospital in the Northside and then the Cleveland Clinic -- as doctors ran a multitude of tests to figure out how and why this happened. An MRI and spinal tap were clear, and her blood work all came came back negative, ruling out any rare diseases or disorders.

    “There is just nothing they can find wrong with me. No underlying conditions, I have nothing in my history and they are basically telling me, ‘You’re healthy and we can’t figure out why this is going on,’” the woman told Channel 11.

    Luckily, she has been able to regain feeling and strength in her arms, but she still has no function from her lower chest down besides very slight movement in a few toes.

    She knew the risks.. (kidding).That seems pretty isolated, I really think it would be hard to suppress if that was common at all by this point. That kind of stuff ( temporary paralysis) can happen, and when half the adult population has taken a shot it wouldn’t be the wild to have some random case of idiopathic temporary paralysis occur in someone who’s had a shot. Never know though maybe there’s a correlation. Maybe there’s not. Maybe she faked it to become famous. Just hard to say, and doubt we’ll hear anything more about it. If she doesn’t recover it might make the news, maybe lol.

    Vaccines may help some ‘long COVID’ patients

    An estimated 10% to 30% of people who get COVID-19 suffer from lingering symptoms of the disease, or what’s known as “long COVID.”

    Judy Dodd, who lives in New York City, is one of them. She spent nearly a year plagued by headaches, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue and problems with her sense of smell, among other symptoms.

    She said she worried that this “slog through life” was going to be her new normal.

    Everything changed after she got her COVID vaccine.

    “I was like a new person. It was the craziest thing ever,” said Dodd, referring to how many of her health problems subsided significantly after her second shot.

    As the U.S. pushes to get people vaccinated, a curious benefit is emerging for those with this post-illness syndrome: Their symptoms are easing and, in some cases, fully resolving after vaccination.

    It’s the latest clue in the immunological puzzle of long COVID, a still poorly understood condition that leaves some who get infected with wide-ranging symptoms months after the initial illness.

    The notion that a vaccine aimed at preventing the disease may also treat it has sparked optimism among patients, and scientists who study the post-illness syndrome are taking a close look at these stories.

    “I didn’t expect the vaccine to make people feel better,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at the Yale School of Medicine who’s researching long COVID.

    “More and more, I started hearing from people with long COVID having their symptoms reduced or completely recovering, and that’s when I started to get excited because this might be a potential cure for some people.”

    From what I have read it's the Vaccine isn't a 100%, it's purpose is to combat the effects of the virus and people can still contract and spread the virus

    Yep. Like all other measures, vaccination knocks down the odds of getting it, but doesn't eliminate the risk. The numbers vaccinated are going up, over 100 million in the US now, so obviously the numbers of vaccinated getting it are going up.

    It just seems like the efficacy of the vaccines might not be as good as advertised or it's an uptick in variants.

    Are you guys seeing studies on miscarriages post vaccination? This lady says she's seen 3 of her friends miss carry right after vaccination.

    Yet, still not seeing any promotion of improving your lifestyle or immune system.

    "100% effective at ensuring that the small fraction of vaccinated patients who do contract the virus will not get severe cases or require hospitalization."

    So we have 6 months of protection, 6 variants, and the Pfizer ceo mentioned a booster shot,#3, at some point in the future.
    This thing isn't done by a long shot, just look at India.

    This shouldn't be a surprise, I don't think anyone (sensibly anyway) is saying that vaccines completely stop everyone getting COVID, the expectation is that they reduce the numbers who catch and spread the virus and the proportion of vaccinated people who catch it who need medical assistance should be much lower than unvaccinated. Bear in mind with the current data that the vaccinated people catching COVID are much more likely to be the most vulnerable people (and why they got vaccinated first) so they are also more likely to require medical assistance. The clearest measure is the death rate, is it going down? Yes in the UK!

    Certainly in the UK the message since start of vaccine rollout has been that you still need to use other measures like social distancing, masks, hands etc even after you're vaccinated. Vaccination is just one tool in the toolbox, it's not some magical silver-bullet - call BS on anyone who says it is.

    Very sad to hear. I'm not sure *any* vaccination is wise while pregnant, especially early term. The AZ fact sheet I saw, said not for the pregnant.

    Wait a second...

    We have "at least" 6 months of protection based on 1 study from the vaccine manufacturer. They still don't know how long the protection will last.

    Pfizer ceo wants to sell vaccines.

    Are you guys seeing studies on miscarriages post vaccination? This lady says she's seen 3 of her friends miss carry right after vaccination.

    Yet, still not seeing any promotion of improving your lifestyle or immune system.
    6,000 breakthrough cases and 100 million vaccinated. Doesn't seem too bad. And, with regard to miscarriages, I thought they recommended you NOT get the vaccine if you are pregnant? Or, was I thinking something else?

    Breakthrough cases: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-1...ugh-cases.html

    COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections reported to CDC
    As of April 13, 2021, more than 75 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 since December 14, 2020.
    During the same time, CDC received 5,814 reports of vaccine breakthrough infections from 43 U.S. states and territories.
    Vaccine breakthrough infections were reported among people of all ages eligible for vaccination.
    2,622 (45%) of the reported infections were among people ≥60 years of age.
    3,752 (65%) of the people experiencing a breakthrough infection were female.
    1,695 (29%) of the vaccine breakthrough infections were reported as asymptomatic.
    396 (7%) people with breakthrough infections were known to be hospitalized and 74 (1%) died.
    Of the 396 hospitalized patients, 133 (34%) were reported as asymptomatic or hospitalized for a reason not related to COVID-19.
    Of the 74 fatal cases, 9 (12%) were reported as asymptomatic or the patient died due to a cause not related to COVID-19.
    Hospitalizations and deaths that are not a direct result of COVID-19 are still considered vaccine breakthrough cases if the person was fully vaccinated and subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.

    Yea. No. Not 100%

    Don't forget - early tests show vaccination results in a MUCH HIGHER (almost 7 times more) chance of "catching" one of the variants. Yep, much lower variant infection rates by NOT taking the vaccine...

    I haven't seen anything from Moderna making public comment. However, it's likely similar since the vaccines use similar technology I would assume.

    The article said "nearly 100%" not 100% but I think that's still too optimistic.
    Astra Zeneca is claiming 100% (https://www.astrazeneca.com/media-ce...ii-trials.html)
    I find that hard to believe and sure as we get bigger studies over longer time we'll see that % drop

    Some people just don't develop antibodies following vaccination (I know an anaesthesiologist who doesn't for Hep. A vaccine for example, which is very bad) that's just how it works. So some people will get next to nothing from the vaccine, some people are unlucky...

    I booked online a while ago and got the call yesterday. I declined the vaccine. I will ride it out a bit longer. I am not around a lot of people and can afford to wait a while.

    I will reevaluate it later as more data surfaces on the Vaccine. I am not sold on getting the Jab just yet.

    I've had many of my friends miscarry years before the vaccination.

    There is no reason to suspect the vaccine has any effect.

    Tater, I have been looking for you.. That was a weird text you sent me last night
