That and Bradykinin 'storms' seem to be the causes of the major reactions to Covid. Research is ongoing as to why some individuals overreact in the production of these substances, whose normal function is to cause inflammation and therefore immobilisation of injured parts. > On 04 March 2021

Re: OT - a shot in the arm

Excellent stuff! I was spiked about three weeks ago. Knocked me on my backside for a couple of days but wore off very quickly. Mine was Astra-Zeneca (no choice; I would have preferred the mRNA type to the viral vector one) which is supposed to be intramuscular. If that's how it was

Ann, that is positive news for  negative testing! We were starting rather late here with the vaccination. Perhaps I get my first shot before the end of this month, possibly before the  EU approves the Sputnik vaccin! Henk Op 2021-03-04 om 17:54 schreef ann sanfedele: Those of you who are on

Why would you choose one (type of) vaccine over another, given that they all seem more or less equally effective, have no serious side-effects, and mostly all require two doses? > On 4 Mar 2021, at 17:19, mike wilson wrote: > > Excellent stuff! I was spiked about three weeks ago. Knocked
