indeed, that’s why I mentioned it later pete
these are massive things in history, that can only really be compared to other pandemics or global wars in terms of impact

Wouldn't be concerned at all tbh, I know lots of people who've had the Pfizer and most had either no symptoms or just a very sore arm, sore muscles and achey joints are also common. Most of the people I know are doctors and medics and therefore relatively younger with a stronger immune reaction.
While not a fixed rule so don't depend on it there is something that can be considered a rule of thumb guide.....generally the stronger the immune reaction, which usually means the less aged the patient, the stronger the likelihood of a short term reaction to the vaccination. The older patient's immune systems aren't usually as responsive or reactive and it can take longer for their bodies to respond.
Important to note that although you'll have some protection straight after the first jab it builds in the following weeks. You reach a reasonable level of immunity after 21 to 22 days and its likely to be maintained at strong levels afterwards. You can still get infected as immunity is not total but partial so carry on with precautions.

I felt fine for a couple of days after the jab and then on the third day it knocked me for six! Lasted about a day and then felt fine. Really aching, headache and tired but as I said it only lasted a day. Kind of comforting to know my body was reacting to it and responding as it should. I take immunosuppressants so my body reacting in this way is doubly comforting.

And that's trouble they picked one week of data that had the best results (as above) and pumped into the PR machine and happily gobbled up by internet experts as standard protection.
Eh?
Mad how hostile people are towards any sort of good news
It's came from Scotland. Why would the Scottish government want to twist things to give good PR to Boris?
It's good news. I don't think there's any evidence whatsoever that it's propaganda. I'm not sure why anyone would want to get annoyed by news like this.

Whats the good news mate? Please tell me the golf courses are opening.
Because they are so categorically set in their ways that literally anything remotely positive about the current vaccine roll out must be dubbed as 'propaganda'.
It's a study - which is to be peer reviewed - that has taken place over the last month. They already had lab data for 3 weeks, now they've got real-world data for 4 weeks.
As you say, it's in no way a negative and if people are genuinely getting annoyed by this then they need to give their heads a wobble.
March 8th. Johnson will confirm that tonight.
I imagine in 2 balls, as they were last May.
Literally schools and golf from March 8th. I'm not convinced it's right to send the schools back all at once, feel like they could hold off on that and do it more staggered. Golf is completely safe. Only shame for me is that there's a lovely course near me that I'll no longer be able to walk around!
Scientists from the Universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde, Aberdeen, Glasgow and St Andrews and Public Health Scotland (PHS) looked at data on people who had received either the Pfizer/BioNTech jab or the one developed by scientists at the University of Oxford with AstraZeneca.
Four weeks after receiving the initial dose, the Oxford jab appeared to reduce a person's risk of hospital admission by 94%.
Those who received the Pfizer jab had a reduction in risk of 85% between 28 and 34 days after the first dose.
Data for the two jabs combined showed that among people over the age of 80 - who are at high risk of severe disease - the reduction in risk of hospital admission was 81% four weeks after the first dose.
@ToffeeTim imagine thinking this was a negative
