“My Experience With The Pfizer Covid Vaccine”: Trial Participant’s Honest Post Goes Viral
After Pfizer and BioNTech announced the leaps they’ve made while developing their Covid-19 vaccine, people instantly went crazy. Finally, some good news in 2020.
To give people a better understanding of the pharmacology product that is supposed to save us from the global pandemic, Imgur user mademsmith — who has been participating in the Coronavirus vaccine trial — decided to share her experience and made a post on the platform, detailing everything she went through in the trial.

According to Pfizer’s press release, primary efficacy analysis demonstrates the vaccine to be 95% effective against Covid-19 beginning 28 days after the first dose; 170 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were evaluated, with 162 observed in the placebo group versus 8 in the vaccine group.
“Efficacy was consistent across age, gender, race and ethnicity demographics; observed efficacy in adults over 65 years of age was over 94%,” the company wrote, adding that it is planning to produce up to 50 million vaccine doses in 2020 and up to 1.3 billion doses by the end of 2021.
Coming back to mademsmith, the pandemic and global lockdown hasn’t really affected her or her partner. “Fortunately, we do not know anybody who has died and all our family and friends are safe and healthy,” she told Bored Panda. “The biggest change is that we don’t go out as much as we would like to.”
“The trial was pretty manageable,” mademsmith said. “The nurses were fantastic, we felt safe and well informed. Even when my partner passed out due to the vaccine side effects, the nurse went above and beyond to make sure he was okay and safe to go home.”
“I would highly recommend the vaccine to anybody eligible to get it. Trust science and the scientific method, vaccines are good!”

As someone who is currently recovering from covid, those side effects (sore throat, fever) are what I felt right at the beginning- only mine lasted days and were just the beginning of an onslaught of covid attacks on my body. I am now three weeks after diagnosis and feeling better but unable to do anything without feeling breathless and exhausted. I know I am very lucky to still be here, but covid is no friggin joke. I am relatively young and healthy too. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I'm six months later and still out of breath way sooner than I was before. It's horrible. (I also am relatively young and I was healthy). Hope you have better luck!

How long before the built up immunity? The flu vaccine takes up to a month for protection.

I just want to say a huge thank you to all the people giving up their time and their bodies to science/medical research etc. We would not have the vaccines, medicines, treatments etc that we have without you. A massive thank you and applause from me to you.
