I have had the vaccine, best friend has had the vaccine, DS's MiL has had the vaccine. Not one of us has had any reaction to it, no sore arm, no swelling, we haven't grasped our throats and turned purple, our bowels are working perfectly and none of us has a temperature.
Aldom has reported much the same.
Bikergran, your father's pain sounds like angina, which is why he has the spray. This used to happen to my DF, who also had angina. Angina can be very random.
'Emotional manipulation' rubbish Yogagirl. Children sing what they are told to sing, and give little thought to the words. They are not likely to receive the vaccine anyway.
Should I worry that my grandchildren sing 'What shall I do with a drunken sailor' and lots of other folk songs whose words suggest they do things inappropriate to their age and condition or encourage them to do things that are illegal if not criminal?
