I just googled the bit about black arm- vaccination connection. Maybe my googling skills are somewhat slim, but all I could find was 2 or 3 stories about people losing limbs or fingers after having contracted Covid-19 itself. Nothing there about a vaccine causing it. Maybe someone else can check, to see if they find anything.

A black arm that has to be amputated sounds like a bacterial infection of some kind. What we used to call "blood poisoning" but I'm sure there's some clinical name for it.

Do you know anyone who has had reactions to the vaccine? My son who is in his early 30's received his second vaccine. He noticed that his asthma was flared up the day after so he took his meds for that. Three days later I got a text from him saying that he was in hospital. What he thought was asthma was actually shortness of breath and the third day he had bad chest pains. The hospital did tests, gave him meds and told him that the heart muscle was inflamed. They kept him overnight and finally released him late the next day. He had to take it easy for 2 weeks and stay home from work. He is taking heart meds for 3 months. He also had to take another medication because the heart meds were causing an acid reflux type of reaction that could lead to ulcers if not caught. He said he feels ok but he just started back to work this week. Apparently this is rare but it does happen. My son does have allergies to food and medication but he checked with the family doctor before he went for the vaccine.

I remember reading that pericarditis was a side effect in the 20-35 male population at a rate of 1:25 000.
 
Asked 3 doctors, 2 said to ask my hematologist who I haven't heard from. 3rd said getting a 3rd dose is reasonable but he's uncertain if I can, basically get it if someone will give it to me.
I will wait a few weeks due to medications but looks like I'll be getting a 3rd dose. I think I may have problems if I went through AHS but the small pharmacies in thus area will likely be willing.

Syringes reused at B.C. pharmacy giving COVID-19 vaccine; college investigating

Syringes were reused for COVID-19 vaccines at a B.C. pharmacy, the Fraser Health Authority has confirmed.

Why why why?
There have been enough publicized rare times when healthcare providers I reusing syringes for multiple patients and end up in trouble that it's very clear to not do this.
Even way more obvious when a used needled has to be removed from the syringe! If a needle was used to draw up/inject from any non sterile situation the whole thing should just be discarded. There's no excuse whatsoever for taking off a needle after injecting someone and then reusing the syringe in Canada.

I would be highly suspicious of any place that didn't immediately put it into a sharps container. Even setting it down on a desk or something is a breach of basic safety protocols.

I think the pharmacy should lose their license.
 
I recently received word about taking out a piece of heart from one said to have no heart ... and I wonder if they take a piece of something missing ... does this amount to negative emotions?

Might leave one in essence as dispossessed by the ghost of something past ... a bell ringer?
 
NS has announced that all healthcare, longterm care, ambulance staff has to be fully vaccinated by end of November. How is that in other provinces- I haven’t heard that anybody included schools in that yet?

BC has said health care and LTC home staff and volunteers must be fully vaccinated by some time in October. I'm not sure about other first responders.

Many, probably most, boards in Ontario have brought in vaccine policies of some form but there doesn't seem to be a blanket policy coming down from Queens Park yet. They have started to discuss whether to add this to the mandatory shots list once a vaccine is approved for kids under 12 (which seems to be close now).

I know AHS put in a policy. I didn't follow all the nitty gritty of who needs it and who doesn't.
Schools here have not, but there's currently a push towards it.
 
It has been good to hear that some of the unvaccinated have taken the opportunity to get 'done' in this province. There is anger remaining as people claim they are 'forced' to take the shot by employers who are saying you can't work here without it. People are angry that they have to show proof of vaccination to go to big events like hockey games, music concerts etc..
My youngest grandude was exposed at school and several classes were closed down for a while. There have been cases in the schools in my hometown too.
 
Vaccination .. there are those that take a hard line against this ... possibly religious stoics that do not accept anything fresh!

That would disturb their past that they would rather let lye ... thus it is prostituted ... that is to say put down!
 
Merck pharmaceutical now has created an experimental pill called "molnupiravir" that reduces hospitalizations and deaths by half. They will soon seek approval to use it in the US and worldwide after studies and trials seem to suggest its effectiveness during the early stages in someone who has contracted Covid within 5 days of symptoms.
Vaccines would still be required but this has the possibility of a faster recovery and lowering the need for ICU beds and hospitalization.
It didnt say in the article but it sounds like it may reduce "long Covid" too.
 
Molnupiravir has a 50% efficacy rate so it is not as high as the "monoclonal antibodies" delivered by intravenous, which has an 85% efficacy rate.
The fact that molnupiravir comes in a pill form will make it easier to reach more people and it is a lot cheaper to make.
The pills are designed to keep the coronvirus from replicating and tricks the virus into using the drug to replicate the virus' genetic material. The drug then inserts errors into the virus' genetic code. Enough errors inserted makes it so the virus cant replicate.
So far there are minimal side effects to this drug.
 
Science for all this is amazing, but the irony is, that with all our knowledge and modern interventions....we have had more deaths worldwide than the Spanish Flu. I wonder if that is because we have an easier ability to travel or this virus is more viral?
