Not a great advert for the AZ vaccine: all five of us in our family have got the virus despite me and my wife being double jabbed months ago. My and my son are really very ill too. The other three are just starting.

I hope you will all be OK.

It's zero consolation to you, but all the evidence is that the AZ vaccine, when double jabbed, has high efficacy against COVID including delta, and particularly against hospitalisation. So hopefully, whilst bad, it is unlikely to get a lot worse.

Best wishes.

Not to be insensitive mate, but unless you're in intensive care, you're not 'really very ill.'

I had what I thought was a bad asthma attack a couple of years ago, and described my symptoms to a paramedic as 'shortness of breath.' He told me if I could talk, or even stand, i wasn't short of breath.

Hope you are all on the mend asap.

Just think though without the jab, it could've been a lot worse! Vaccines aren't designed to stop all symptoms, their main function is to prevent as many people as possible from dying and getting seriously ill on ventilators etc.

I don’t trust it as it was rushed through approval

This is not true.

 

[SWP's back]

My health is just about me, I feel I will put myself at increased risk by getting vaccinated

You can feel whatever you want. It won’t be the truth though.

Sorry to hear that. How ill are you out of curiosity?

 

[SWP's back]

Out of curiosity what risk do you think your at with the vaccine over any other medication you may take?

as an FYI, These vaccines were not rushed. they had the same level of testing as any other vaccines, the phases happened quicker due to funding allowing trials to fill up quicker etc etc. and frankly are the most scrutinised medicines in human history.

Is the correct answer.

My concern is that the vaccine didn’t stand up well to a high viral load. Our ceiling came in last week and the house is a building site, so we’ve all spent a lot of time sitting on top of each other in a small second lounge with wooden floor and leather settees.

whilst two of us feel like shit im not concerned about hospitalisation/death. Just irritated that we can do the building work and don’t feel well enough to work.
