For those of you who haven't got your 2nd covid shot yet I'd recommend chugging water that night hangover style. I woke up the next day very dehydrated w/ a nasty headache. Here's hoping it only lasts 1 day.

Felt nothing from the first one they're definitely putting extra 5g in the second dose.

    It'll definitely get you - it took me awhile to recover from the second one- even after the fever I was pretty out of it for like three days.

      tylenol is helping w/ the feverish symptoms but the headache seems to give no fucks at all, that night I was thinking "man my immune system is pretty strong I think, I'll be fine" Yeah. No. I should have listened to the ppl telling me to hydrate.

    For dehydration, paedialyte is the next best thing to an IV. The second dose of Moderna was brutal. I could feel the microchip slithering down my arm.

          All Intel processors since 2008 have run a version of Linux in their management engine. There’s no way these vaccines don’t have an NSA backdoor in their encryption

              Pfizer vaccine backed by the Free Software Foundation :illuminati:

                I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as a vaccine, is in fact, NSA/vaccine, or as I've recently taken to calling it, NSA plus vaccine. The vaccine is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning NSA system made useful by the NSA corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

                Many brain users run a modified version of the NSA system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of NSA which is widely used today is often called "a vaccine", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NSA system, developed by the NSA Project.

                There really is a vaccine, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. The vaccine is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the brain's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. The vaccine is normally used in combination with the NSA operating system: the whole system is basically NSA with a vaccine added, or NSA/vaccine. All the so-called "vaccine" distributions are really distributions of NSA/vaccine.

    I don't feel like much of a comrade reading these comments. I got the J&J jab and a quarter-sized area around the injection site was a tiny bit sore and my arm was a tiny bit stiff. But that was it.

      might just be poor 5g reception in your area

      but youve been a comrade by getting it, you dont lose points cos youve been lucky with the side effects, be glad of it

    I had a fever that topped out at 101F for about 12 hours after my second shot. First one didn't give me more than a sore spot on my arm.

    yeah, I got my 2nd shot 5 days ago and I'm still kinda fatigued from it. It's getting better, though.

    My second shot is next week. I prepared for the first one eating a shit load of raw limes and ended up with a headache that lasted the afternoon. Next day I was fine but stayed in bed cos I felt a bit lazy and tired. Kinda scared for the second one but I’ll make sure to stay hydrated, fed and everything

    I've had hella flu shots, tons of different types of vaccines (traveling abroad and regular ones) but nothing has come close to how fucked up the second shot was for me. I had cold shivers for 3 hours, completely deliberating. Then in a flash I broke a fever and had to strip off the 4 blankets and thermal undies and blast a fan with a window open all night. It was brutal, I got my shot super early on the morning so I started feeling the effects before bed time which kept me awake for a lot of the night.

    I had a Tylenol and was able to sluggishly function the day after I got it.
