Sitting around at the centre waiting to see if the Pfizer booster is going to kill me.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'm reading Cyberpunk 2020 and boostergangs seem pretty scary.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

This was my first Pfizer after a couple of AZs. I don't remember my shoulder having visible (non-red) swelling on my shoulder with AZ, which I have now. It hurts and I am feeling a bit under the weather but nothing dramatic.

I'm all boosted up.  Now I'll die of autism and brain plaques.

Things were wild getting my booster. First there were a ton of pissed off people as they had watched BoJo press conference about jabs waiting for you but this injection site had closed its walk-in queue for the night. Mind you, people managing queues outside had closed it for the night, pharmacist receptionists were still telling people to come on down. Heard a lot of ranting and attempts to plead that failed, one guy went on long rant about Boris Johnson for about 5-10 minutes.

Then once inside many people kicked off that only Moderna boosters were being given out. My uber driver had told me on way there that if I get the Modern (or maybe the Madonna), I should expect to be down for the count for two days.

I did love the lady who when asked if she was immunocompromised said she had no idea what that is and reported she had an allergic reaction to fake eyelashes last weekend when asked about allergies. :)

Yeah - I find the whole pickiness about vaccines weird but had no idea there was any dislike of Moderna. Maybe just lower brand recognition in the UK (it's not been used as much)?

I think there is some concerns about side effects potentially being worse combined with news that it is only half dose as booster?

Personally, I was happy to avoid Moderna early on as it was easier to get Pfizer 2nd jab at walk-in centre. Don't really mind now other than hoping my side effects stay at minor headache and sore arm level.
