If you do have any adverse reactions, mild to urgent, then you can complete a yellow card report to improve research on medical outcomes. Not just covid, but this is the site I found first. Like, you can do yellowcard reports for antibiotics, skin creams, botox for migraines, and anything else afaik.

As infuriating as I find ableist, I'm-alright-Jack, selfish antivax movements and supporters to be, I don't want any person to suffer Long Covid nor death, loss of livelihood (including hobby access and social life), nor other disablement.

You're a human, even when you self-harm, social-harm or lash out at everything.
You might not lash out so hard if you weren't overwhelmed.
You might not be so overwhelmed in an environment that met your needs, or if you felt secure in being able to adapt your environment to your needs.
No, I'm not better than anyone else, nor are you. No one is. We are all self-aware beings with a minimum of autonomy.

" Prof Finn, who is professor of paediatrics at the University of Bristol, says Covid vaccines were a massive success and “really saved a lot of people's lives”. He is not involved in the legal action and believes the decisions taken in the UK around the vaccines’ use were correct.
But he says the VDPS is “clearly not working as it should” and that payments should be index-linked so that they reflect changes in the cost of living. He also criticises the “very arbitrary” 60% threshold for payouts.
Prof Finn adds that it’s necessary “to take a really good look” at compensation for all current and future vaccines.

I point out to Prof Finn that there was a danger in a report like this that it could undermine confidence in vaccines. He rejects this: “The only way to retain trust is to be honest.”

But he does think the inadequacies of the VDPS risk undermining that public confidence in vaccines.
While only a small proportion of people have been affected, he says, “they've been very seriously harmed and that is going to attract public attention. It's going to be reported, and people are going to reflect on that, and people will want to see those people treated fairly”. "

"The side effects of vaccination are usually mild and short-lived such as a sore arm, fever and fatigue.
However, in the very rare event that something goes seriously wrong, we have a right to expect that we will be supported. This is a kind of social contract between individual and state." Or should be, since you lot [Brits] are so complacent in loving your own classist oppressions. But whatever. Ideally, people would be supported to exist harmoniously with others * and * meeting their own needs.

"Of the awards, all but a handful are for damage done by the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine, which is no longer used.
There is a long list of different health conditions that qualify for a payment but the AstraZeneca jab had one specific rare side effect not seen in the mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna, which are now the mainstay of all Covid booster campaigns."

"Speaking at the opening session on Tuesday, Hugo Keith KC, counsel to the inquiry, said expert evidence commissioned by the inquiry suggested “overwhelmingly” that the UK operated “a robust and sophisticated system” for ensuring the highest levels of safety. “The evidence suggests overwhelmingly that the UK Covid vaccines successfully protected the people of the UK against a virus that was killing and liable to kill hundreds of thousands of people,” he said.

“Side-effects may be encountered in any medicine, but serious side-effects, whilst very rare, are nevertheless significant and debilitating,” he added. “For those who did suffer serious side-effects, and even worse, for the very small number of people whose loved ones died as a result, it was, of course, a complete tragedy, and nothing that is said about the rarity of those terrible consequences can be taken, or should be taken, to diminish that loss,” he said.

Keith added that references to the “obvious and well-known fact” that in very rare cases, vaccination has serious side-effects, “must not be used as a platform to seek to undermine the vital public health role that vaccination plays in keeping people safe from disease, or to try to seek to argue that at a population level, vaccination is not overwhelmingly beneficial.” "

"Research shows that Covid-19 itself is much more likely to cause myocarditis than a vaccine in most people.

People who are vaccinated against Covid-19 also have a much lower risk of getting other serious heart complications caused by the virus, including heart attack and stroke.

That’s why the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency says the benefits of having the Covid-19 vaccine far outweigh the risks of not getting it for most people. "

"Pericarditis is inflammation of the lining around the heart, whereas myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle.

Pericarditis and myocarditis often happen together and can have similar symptoms.
Most people recover within a few weeks, but for others it can take months."

"Cats cannot catch colds from humans and vice versa.
Caused by viruses like feline herpesvirus and calicivirus, cold symptoms in cats include sneezing and runny nose.
Cats catch colds through droplets in air, direct contact, and shared items, and stress can increase susceptibility.
Treatment may include medication, supportive care, and keeping your cat comfortable at home.
Regular vaccinations, good hygiene, and stress reduction can help prevent cat colds. "

"What are the main cat vaccinations side effects?

Vaccines play an important role in protecting your cat's health by training their immune system to fight infections. In a study involving nearly half a million vaccinated cats, only a small fraction, about 0.5%, experienced adverse reactions to a vaccine.

While these reactions can be unpredictable, they don't necessarily indicate a problem with the vaccine or its administration, but rather an unusual immune response in some cats. Here is a table listing some of the more common, as well as very rare, cat vaccinations side effects." https://www.pethealthclub.com/uk/pet-advice/common-questions-about-kitten-vaccinations

"Chlamydia felis — once known as Chlamydophila felis, is a frequent cause of conjunctivitis in cats. Cats can be vaccinated to help reduce the symptoms of this infection, but the vaccine doesn't stop them from getting or spreading it. If a cat gets Chlamydia, it's important to keep them separated from other cats to prevent spreading.
