Fun Quiz > Covid-19 mRNA Vax harm denial - At which stage are you?
Indeed, many people who received the Covid-19 vaccine experienced what became known as "Covid arm" which is an innate immune response, signalling that the body is recognising the vaccine and mounting a defence. Alongside this, common side effects such as fever, chills, fatigue, and muscle aches are also manifestations of the innate immune system activating. These symptoms are generally signs that the vaccine is doing its job - stimulating the immune system to prepare the body to fight the actual virus if encountered. The reaction / response is typical with many vaccines (of all types) and an indication of immune activation rather than cause for alarm - though for some... they thought it meant there was something wrong with the vaccine... -

Fun Quiz > Covid-19 mRNA Vax harm denial - At which stage are you?
A lot of people took the vaccine because they believed it would stop them from catching Covid, just as all other vaccines had beforehand. My dad was one of them and he even mentioned the polio vaccine – as most boomers did – to justify his stance. After his third shot (which made him unwell for several months), he actually told me I was right, as what happened was not what he had been sold on. I think this is a valid piece of anecdotal evidence as my dad is not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination. So your son is vaccinated against Covid? I'm just curious to know where various people stand on this – for example, I know people who took the shot themselves but drew the line at their kids. Which brings us back to the initial issue: the "misinformation peddlers", often qualified doctors, who spoke out (usually in reasonable terms) against these failures should not have been silenced, threatened and smeared. And those who believed "factcheckers.org" and the like shoud realise that they were manipulated. -

Fun Quiz > Covid-19 mRNA Vax harm denial - At which stage are you?
The political messaging aimed to be clear, motivational, and unifying, but in doing so it often simplified complex realities. This led to some public confusion and I'd agree political lying when vaccine effectiveness against transmission turned out to be less than hoped and when Covid-19 became endemic rather than eliminated. ... But ulimtately, the message we received in the UK was that vaccination did not offer sterilising immunity but helped build herd immunity and help protect those who couldn't be vaccinated or didn't develop strong immunity themselves. I agree... The sidelining of some doctors and experts who challenged the mainstream view was deeply troubling, especially when professional reputations and livelihoods were affected. However, it felt very much like a time of war, where a unified stance was deemed necessary to face an existential threat. In such moments, governments often prioritise collective action and social cohesion over individual dissent to protect the greater good. This maybe a poor comparison, however, I'll run with it: Conscription during WWI and WWII limited personal freedom for many, but was widely accepted as necessary for national survival. That doesn’t mean such measures are without ethical challenges or consequences, but history shows that during crises, societies often accept - and sometimes expect - strong, centralised decisions to navigate unprecedented dangers - the issues in 2020 and 2021 were that social media also changed the landscape from an information and misinformation perspective. Obviously, the key is ensuring that these decisions remained transparent, proportional, and subject to review once the emergency passes... I haven't taken the Covid-19 vaccine since, my parents do because they are in a high risk group, they take the seasonal influenza vaccine too. Ongoing investigation and independent, peer-reviewed studies are essential - not just during a crisis, but always. Science thrives on transparency, scrutiny, and the willingness to revise conclusions as new evidence emerges. This process builds trust and helps ensure policies are based on the most reliable, unbiased information possible. Without that, public confidence and effective decision-making suffer - that can be deadly if another more serious viral thread evolves (or is leaked). -
