Because the AstraZeneca vaccine has been having problems. So if they told people it was AstraZeneca, they might not take it. And that would greatly slow down the progress of getting everyone vaccinated.
I was vaccinated before those claims really came out or presented a concern. The Pfizer was the only one readily available at the time and it was decided that that would be used on healthcare workers, whilst the others that could be stored in a fridge like the flu vaccine could be done in GP surgeries for patients. They asked if I was okay with having the Pfizer one too, so I trust they told me which one they used.
Yeah, I hate needles big time... getting my blood drawn is an ordeal for me and I must admit to avoiding getting flu shots... But, this Covid-19 is no joke and after weighing the risk vs benefits... I already got my first shot... got a bit nauseous, and slept the rest of the day. The shot actually doesn't hurt... it's just the thought of that damn needle that freaks me out. 🤷♂️ The side effects are supposed to be a bit more pronounced with the second shot... but screw it, I just want to get it over with. This waiting to get stabbed again is actually what I truly hate. Think about all the needles they will have to use on you if you do get Covid-19 and end up hospitalized! Yep, that's all I had to think about.
@Spade07 Basically GAG got tired of always promoting good myTakes so they created the editor role so whenever you post a myTake, it automatically gets promoted. This is of course given to trusted users who they know won't abuse that privilege. They often then feature them on the main profile page which this one was.
I don't know what you mean. They're not pushing anything, the system automatically promotes my stuff the second it's posted. The GAG admin decide what they want to feature on the home page.
@loveslongnails These tin foil people think that all the deaths are a lie and it's all fabricated, which is insulting to the families who've lost relatives to COVID for a start. Some people have claimed that the NHS workers have been part of a mass genocide which is just laughable.

Do you think that it's possible that they told you it was Pfizer when it was not?
No not at all, why would they?

Okay.

Stop forcing me. My body, my choice
I'm not forcing anyone, just sharing an experience.

Why is this promoted? Nobody has commented yet.

Ah, how expected.!
What's an editor?

satan is the ruler of this world
I am not getting the vaccine. The virus is a hoax
Coolest old man ever. I don't agree with him though.
By hoax, you mean it doesn't exist and no one has died from it? Please clarify.

You are 74!!
If you catch it it will kill you simple as it's a deadly pathogen.
Can't argue with that !
Okay
