Thanks, I think it’s good to be aware of the potential risks and they need to be considered against the alternatives. And they do a good job warning you when you enter the study.
I’ve had friends in both Pfizer and Moderna trials. Unfortunately you cannot correlate injection site reaction to placebo or experimental arms of the trial. Friends have had placebo with a reaction. Others received the vaccine and had no reaction at all. Most have a reaction in both arms of the trial. Their trials were unmasked on access to the vaccine for health care providers.Dave_5280 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 10:15 pmI reacted to the shot so I know it wasn’t the placebo, and I had pain at the injection site, was tired for a few days, and had some nerve pains mostly in my legs, but overall it hasn’t been that bad. Still having some nerve sensation mostly at night, but again not that bad.
Sometimes placebos are saline solutions. Sometimes they're actual vaccines for different diseases.Dave_5280 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 10:15 pm...

The study I’m in is a one shot program. If the vaccine they gave me is approved, they will give it to those that got the placebo.Redmachine wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 4:31 amis getting 2 different vaccines better than 1?
dont know how you can get 2 different vaccines in a trial. if you get a long term reaction you would not know which on did it. if you are protected you would not know which one helped.
