COVID booster shot side effects? Israeli health fund survey explains
2021-09-15
[JPost] - More than 2.9 million Israelis have elected to get a third shot of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine. One health fund, Maccabi Health Services, has released a report of the side effects that some of its clients experienced after the shot.

In a survey published Monday of 9,222 individuals over the age of 18 (41% men and 59% women), the health fund showed that while the majority of people experienced some side effects from the vaccine, none of them were life-threatening and they usually went away within one to three days.

The survey was taken between September 3 and 6, 2021.

Yet in USA thousands of people die every day from the side effects of the Jab. How's that possible?

#15  the people who get adverse reactions to the vaccine tend to be under 25

The Israelis who got the booster are probably 40+ although there may some in their 20s or teens.

At some point the danger of vaccine equals the danger of not getting the vaccine. That point is almost certainly below 30. The CDC thinks it is below 13. Pfizer thinks it is below 5, maybe below 1.

#12  #11 G is being sarcastic. But he tips a huge can of worms. If these numbers get questioned, why not those. I really, personally thing all the numbers are suspect or worse. So I'm a vicious crank...

Clever sarcasm is oft lost on the dim-witted like myself...

And I concur with the vicious crank.

Source please...

Without attribution/corroboration the assertion above is funny since I can't name one single person that even had what could be considered even moderate side effects from the vaccine much less someone that died from it. But, I can name two relatives and two friends that died from Covid. So tell me, how is that possible?

Reading through this blog's reader responses and opposition to the vaccine indicates some serious paralysis by analysis. It appears that waiting for “Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien”...the perfect is the enemy of the good.

Many of us currently NOT getting the VAX are NOT Anti-VAX'ers.
Many of us are Wait & See regarding the Long Term results against of this man-made BIO-WARFARE engineered Virus.

I think we'll all agree the CDC/NIH and Fed's position has been a moving target and has been anything but constant in their VAX effectiveness, warnings, handling, treatments, statements and infection data.

We know that those that said early on in 2020 that the C-19 already had multiple strains (A-B-C and now D+) like the FLU Virus. Pondered if it would require different or additional VAX's to addresses new strains were ridiculed initially. But with the D strain were found semi-right.

We know the protection / effectiveness of mRNA based Vax's wears off after 5+ months.

There are many more.
But the point is; too many times those voicing concerns were called fools, idiots and conspiracy nuts. But they have had their share of dead on calling it correctly. Almost as much as the CDC/NIH.

#6  Will a semiannual c19 shot be mandated for a virus as deadly as the flu?

Of course, I also get two flu shots.
One in August from last winter's formulation and one in November built from the new Australian strain.

#5  Pleased they survived the first, second and third injection. Will the vax work after three? What level of immunity to c19 will they have? Will they still require more boosters? Will a semiannual c19 shot be mandated for a virus as deadly as the flu?
