I haven\u2019t been comfortable about discussing the Pfizer Covid study as usually when I work with a pharmaceutical company I\u2019ve signed a non-disclosure agreement. Not in this case, and people are coming out about it.<\/p>\n
I will admit that many scary thoughts crossed my mind, especially since Pfizer is a new type of study. \u00a0I was shocked because a good friend who is a veterinarian working for research labs didn\u2019t want me to do it.<\/p>\n
Here are the deciding factors for me to do this:<\/p>\n
Jumping the line for vaccination (doing the study gave me a 50% chance of getting a vaccine)\u00a0<\/p>\n
Getting paid well. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Helping society get out of this covid thing.<\/p>\n
Learning more about a cool new technology.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
So far, that\u2019s been all been going on. \u00a0I have no idea whether or not I got the real thing, and I\u2019ve got a debit card with a good budget.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had two needle jabs, a blood draw and I interact with an app weekly. \u00a0The first visit literally took most of an afternoon. \u00a0The second visit also took most of an afternoon, but probably an hour shorter.<\/p>\n
Most of the time taken up in those visits was paperwork. \u00a0I did have to wait for an time period to make sure I didn\u2019t have an immediate reaction.<\/p>\n
I was very fatigued for about 5 days after each jab and I\u2019ve had a sore arm at the injection site. \u00a0These are standard reactions for me after any vaccination. \u00a0I get yearly flu shots and any thing else my primary care physician wants to throw at me.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m very excited as I got an email today saying that we will get an official email after FDA EUA which is projected to unblind us and then let us know how to schedule a vaccination if we were given the placebo.<\/p>\n
I have faith in the Pfizer vaccine, even with the few allergic reactions that were seen on the first day of injections in Great Britain.<\/p>\n
I also believe you should take whichever vaccine that is available to you as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
