Adverse Reactions

Timothy Birdnow

Contributor Selwyn Duke has a fine piece at Canada Free Press about side effects from the Covid vaccine. Do read it all; Selwyn is always great.

From the article:

Along with many other commentators, Iâ€™ve reported on side effects associated with the coronavirus vaccines. Of particular concern are heart problems and, specifically, myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle.

Now, youâ€™ll hear different stories about how common these issues are. Government officials and the medical establishment will claim theyâ€™re rare, while others say differently (and that the fedsâ€™ Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, is undercounting vaccine-coincident deaths). But when your anecdotal experience starts to align, suspiciously, with the warnings of danger, itâ€™s eyebrow-raising.

Read the rest!

1 I'm 78 years old, and got the shots in March. Since then I have not had any heart issues (to the best of my knowledge), but I HAVE had other things go haywire. My blood sugar is down (I'm a type 2 diabetic and test in the morning); my normal range is in the 120s or 130s, and lately I've been down as low as 85. Not a bad thing, but suspicious, to say the least. I developed a pinched nerve that caused all sorts of hip, thigh and leg pain plus walking difficulties (again, that may have been from sitting at the computer for 8 hours a day), and I'm just now coming out from under that after a lot of chiropractic treatment and PT.

Does any of this relate to the shot? Probably not, but I'm not putting any money on it.

2 Glad you aren't having any adverse reactions Dana although that blood sugar thing does sound a bit suspicious.

I may get the shot myself (as I am very high risk) but I'm certainly concerned about the heart business as I have all sorts of heart problems (as you know) and another problem might well kill me.

It's a tough choice.

3 Well, my advice to you would be that, since you already have heart problems, and the vaccines seem to have a negative record where that's concerned, DON'T get the shot. Have you talked to your doctor about all of this, though (and is your doctor well-versed in the vaccines)? You might be able to get a letter stating that you are not a good candidate for the vaccines (or some such wording). Martha's getting one from our doctor.

I got my shots because I needed them in order to play in the big band I'm in (and just got home from playing a dance with). I COULD have lied about my vaccine status, but that's not my style.

Bottom line: have a serious chat with your doctor(s), then make up your own mind.

4 My GP is, of course, pushing it Dana. My other doctors - including the cardiologist - have basically been ambivalent and support whatever decision I make. Nobody dares go on record saying the vaccine is a bad idea, of course. But none of them seem too concerned about me NOT getting it.

5 The bad thing is I have to go to Nashville in the not too distant future to attend a wedding and will be in close contact with a bunch of people from all over. Kind of worrisome.

6 Yeah, that's a problem. You've got -- whatthey call 'em, co-morbidities. And we all know by this time that masks don't do what people think they do.

Good luck, old buddy, Let us know when you're approaching the danger zone, OK?

7 Will do Dana. I'm probably going for the shot tomorrow or Wednesday. The wedding is in two weeks.
