Pfizer 1 is hitting Luke HARD. He’s saying he’s feeling 10x worse than he did when he had COVID.
Is the second shot as bad for those that have already had it?

No idea as to your question, but here's hoping that his experience with shot #1 is brief and that there's no reaction to #2.
What symptoms is he having with this, fatigue? Fever? Myalgias? Everything I've read says that these might be severe , but they are short-lived.

My SIL will not be taking the second shot of Pfizer. She had fever of 102, loss of taste and smell with SOB.
My wife will not be taking the second shot of Moderna. She had a pulse of 168, BP of 172/108 and A-fib. -

Second shot of Moderna gave me a fever of 102, aches, some SOB, and fatigue that wiped me out for a week.

I figured he would have a strong reaction to shot #1, but man, it would be hard to suck it up and go through this a second time.

The first Moderna gave me chills, aches, fatigue
Started after 24 hours, ended less than 24 hours later
The second Moderna had maybe a little fatigue, brief, mild

Ugh that sucks, @LuFins-Dad . If he only has the first shot, there's plenty of evidence that it is really all that he needs anyway for nearly the same efficacy.
Each person is different. I had Pfizer with no issues on either shot. I almost wonder if the vaccine hits those who've had COVID harder than those who haven't had it.

Actually, there’s plenty of evidence that the first shot did absolutely nothing for him in terms of efficacy.

Same here.
I hope Luke feels better soon.

Sorry to hear this, LD.
My daughter and I both had Pfizer, and both felt rough for 24 hours, but nothing more. The second shot was a little worse than the first.
I've had bouts of fatigue that have lasted a few hours since my second shot, and this went on for 2-4 weeks, but to be honest I'm not sure whether that's the vaccination or just life.

I had no problems with either Pfizer shot. I might have been fatigued the next day after #2, but that could have been the driving marathon from the Keys to get there.
I'm so sorry to hear he has this so badly. Can't help but wonder if Covid is like a herpes or hepatitis virus where it hangs around, not actually clearing.

Response to the shot was the number 1 topic people talked about with friends. I must have heard dozens of stories with every vaccine and every circumstance and never saw a pattern nor did anyone offer a definitive predictor. I don’t know anyone who felt bad after two days.

We all had Moderna. After shot 1, Mrs. had some stomach issues for a day. Sore arm for all for a couple of days, and a little fatigue and brain fog for a day for me after shot 2. Other than that, not much to report.

Single dose of Pfizer is 80% against serious cases, and it seems to be “significantly” lower against mild cases or asymptomatic transmission. I “significantly” since we don’t see the actual numbers of breakthrough cases, but are just told that the number is insignificant... Very scientific like...
Lucas’ immunity was likely higher than the
first dose of Pfizer grants.In addition, I have heard several virologists in interviews discuss the vaccines vs natural immunity vs the variants. It seems like the concern is that since the early vaccines all focused on the protein spike, if the variants find a way to confuse the antibodies then the vaccines will no longer be effective whereas in cases of natural immunity, the immune system is primed against the entire virus, not just the spike, and will be more effective.

The great news is that cases and deaths inv have now dropped to an all time low! And this is in the face of almost no social distancing anymore.
It would appear the vaccine is doing it’s job.

I'm not sure it's quite over yet - the British death toll was zero earlier this week, but they're making worrying noises about a third wave kicking in because of the Indian variant - it feels a bit like what happens there happens here a few weeks later.

So far, the concern is the spread to unvaccinated folks. If that holds, the unvaccinated ought to get a vaccine or face the music. The world will not lockdown again for the unvaccinated, it’s just their misery.
