“I was reading some research today, on why some people have chosen not to be vaccinated to protect them against COVID 19 yet. One of the most common is that they’re worried about the side effects. So let’s talk about that!
Like all medicines, you might experience some mild side effects 1—2 days after getting your vaccination. That is totally normal, and also a sign that your body is learning to fight the virus.
Most side effects don’t last long. For me, I had a sore arm after my first dose (it reminded me of the tetanus jab) and I felt a bit weary after the second one, but not for long! If you’re worried about side effects, why not reach out to someone you know and trust who has had the vaccine, and ask how they felt? Or talk to your GP.

When I looked this evening, there are 3,500 shares and …

My friend had written to me and said, “You must read some of the comments”. I scanned through them, and it is clear, it has become a vaccine injury reporting forum. I have added some below. There is no way I am going through 30,000 comments, so below is a “first grab” selection. [Update: now 32,000 comments]
My Father had a heart attack one week after his first shot. He was helicoptered to Waikato in a serious condition. Admittedly he is 81 however he had had a thorough heart check six weeks previously and had been advised his heart was in excellent condition for his age. He is/was extremely active and cycled 40 kilometres 5 days a week. The heart attack was due to blood clots. He is not going to get his second shot.
A good friends brother in law has died, and another friend has had a death at their work. A girl from my school days nearly passed out at Vac centre and couldn’t move for a few days and have heard of another contact who has had a Bell’s palsy turn …my immediate family have only had sore arms and tiredness. Lots of people are OK BUT alot are not, it’s very concerning
Are you reading the replies Jacinda? Story after story… this vaccine is not suitable for all people. Have some respect for individual needs, stop bullying your country. Let us live freely based on whats best for us and our families, not by whats best for your reputation.
Let’s also discuss the people who are going to have to pay back the 114 billion dollars of debt that has accumulated. Only 2.5 billion on wage subsidies. 0.2% of that set aside for mental health services. How many billions are being spent on advertising/brainwashing. Our country is currently the most indebted it has ever been and the accountability falls back on the taxpayer. My great grandchildren will be paying this debt.
My parents both developed flu like symptoms after their second vaccination shot. My Mum becoming dangerously unwell and developed pneumonia, was admitted to hospital for two weeks. Very frightening. Has been 6 weeks and she is still unwell
I feel sorry for the teenagers as those are the ones they are going after…. John key said stop them from going to concerts or R&V and they will soon be lining up for the jab
This is bullying and blackmailing … it’s disgusting what a government will stoop to
Over the past two weeks it’s desperate measures on the radio and tv constantly saying you need to be vaccinated let alone having jab buses outside of KFC etc when Auckland went into level 3 … jab while you wait
People should have the right to choose, and there should be no discrimination either way
My friend ended up in hospital on a drip couldn’t stop vomiting….she told the nurse she had just be vaccinated the day before and the nurse dismissed her and said no it wouldn’t have anything to do with vaccine and that seems to be the problem here just dismissed like that.
I will do anything I choose, I resist the demands. If we are forced to get this injection, are we really free to choose? If I am forced, I will not go quietly, not because I’m a radical but because I was born with rights that no one has the authority to take. Don’t forget that everyone is born with these rights and they are yours to do with what you please. End of discussion.
23 year old had the jab in a Friday and was dead on the Saturday with a heart attack. It’s happening soooo often. Young people shouldn’t be dying of heart attacks like this!!
My father in law spent two weeks in hospital severely unwell struggling to breathe he reacted to first jab immediately the doctors said he wasn’t going to make it. He did but it was touch and go and since then through friends we are hearing more and more cases on a daily basis who have had severe reactions. It’s distressing for us to be treated as a joke in the media either on the news or in the nzh. We are silenced as it’s so polarising and it’s nothing we have done to cause this. It’s insulting to assume we have done all our research online as I’m sure the people in the media don’t use microfiches or encyclopaedias. We are real people who know real people that have had things happen to them and these aren’t mere coincidences and we are being ridiculed and judged. This is not the NZ we knew. If you had the novavax we would be first in line to have it but with pzifer no threats of loss of freedom or friendships will twist our arm. We have seen and know too much.
But no one is able to tell us what might happen in a year, 5, 10 years from now can they? Only time will tell and if 90% of the country is vaccinated we should all be safe? Even the 10% who aren’t like Police , Politicians who aren’t required to?
We should be able to make our own choice Jacinda Ardern. This vaccine is not right for everyone, as everybody is different and react differently to different things. Government needs to understand this.
I had my first one and had anaphylaxis for the first time in my life. It’s a NO from me for the 2nd one! Thank you!
Apart from a seeing a friend watch (by video) her mother dying from blood clotting because of border restrictions I would like to talk about the adverse events I am experiencing (as are many more no doubt) . I want to tell you about the black dog that visits me every day. The overwhelming sense of hopelessness that makes suicide a very real option. The hopelessness caused firstly by the insane policies and use of faulty science that is now being followed by threats of mandated vaccinations and penalties against those that just want to make their own choices, go to work peacefully and be close to their families. Do you really think it is appropriate for Chris Hipkins to threaten that he will hunt us down to jab us and the rest of your government to instill nothing but fear? Do you not think it is time to unleash your press so that they can talk freely about what is really happening here and overseas? Do you think it is time to now say “SORRY” to the team of 5 million?
They’re not “side-effects” Jacinda, they’re Adverse Events and many are serious. I understand your select committee was presented with a paper showing only 5% ever get reported.
I’m not anti vax and am fully vaccinated but it wasn’t smooth sailing for me. I had a headache, fever, nausea, dizziness and a sore arm after my first dose. Was much worse after my second dose – all my muscles, joints and nerves had sharp pains, I had heart palpitations and chest pain, nausea, dizziness, a high fever, sore arm and felt lethargic. I am still noticing heart palpitations now and my second dose was almost a month ago – not to mention I’m only 26 and consider myself healthy. It was a horrible experience and I think these more adverse side effects should be openly disclosed and reported so that people know every detail and can make a fully informed decision for their body and life. Again not against the vaccine, just pro open, complete and honest information – perhaps if I knew how common it was, I wouldn’t have been so scared at the time
Side effects lasting one to two days is a joke, i got my first jab because I believed it was the right thing to do, a week on and I still can’t do much of anything because I suffer from a light head, I can’t do anything strenuous because I feel wiped out and I have to go to sleep, yesterday is a prime example, I slept because I had no choice and I slept for 7 hours, woke up at 4 and by nine thirty I was falling asleep again. Living with a headache is not much fun. My life has changed over this last week for the worse. Who do I thank for reducing my life to short moments of doing anything. I will not get the second jab, the risks outweigh the rewards.
My friends dad died a week after his second jab. My mother in law has ongoing pain in her arm and wakes up with a painful dead arm in the morning, she had her shots weeks ago. Doctors are not reporting to CARM. Why is this being ignored?
And what about the poor girl in Auckland that had a seizure 5 days after her 2nd jab? Her seizure was so violent she broke her neck in the bathroom and died as a result. The doctors saying that it wasn’t a reaction to the vaccine cause it was 5 days after!! What about her? Her flatmate that found her? And her family Jacinda??? Yes…please…let’s talk about this??
