Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine
Also known as Vaxzevria, this COVID-19 vaccine was developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford, being a two-dose vaccine just like Pfizer and Moderna. After receiving the two doses, AstraZeneca’s clinical trials concluded that the vaccine has a 76% efficacy rate.
The vaccine is also a viral vector one (like Johnson & Johnson’s), and the World Health Organization authorized it in mid-February. However, as people started to get their Oxford-AstraZeneca doses, controversies surrounding this vaccine arose.
There has been a number of blood clotting incidents linked to the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. Some of them were fatal. Yet, health authorities say that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the number of blood clotting cases.

I had the Pfyzer vaccine back in January and only had one dose because I had a very bad reaction. I was fine but about 5 hours after I just could not get any air in my lungs. I couldn’t breathe in at all. This definitely was not at all like an asthma attack. I have asthma and a lot of allergies (mostly medical) so can’t use an inhaler for my problem. I found in a foreign medical journal that regular table salt contains an anti-histimine and after trying I use it for my asthma attacks. It really does open up my airway so I can breathe. I used this method for my problem with the vaccine. I had to use a lot of salt but it did open up my airway. Also I used a nebulizer with saline solution which helped even more. That got me breathing normal again but I still had a swollen and sore arm, stomach problems, slightly elevated temperature with headache for a total of 3 days. After that I was fine but I would not have made it to the hospital at all if I called 911!! The salt saved my life but it was very scary!! Therefore, I did not get the 2nd shot. It was not recommended. I did report this to the cdc as they contacted me and wanted the info.
I and my wife had the maderna, both shots, I was concerned because of all the chemo I had for cancer(non-hodgins lymphoma) but my arm got red and a little stiff, no worse than a flu shot, my wife was bothered more for a couple of days. We are both 80 +.
I had both of the Pfizer vaccinations, & other than a slightly sore arm at the injection site, my biggest side effect was that I lost my interest in eating for “several” days. I mean nothing seemed interesting to eat. And for me, at just 80 lbs. that really isn’t good.
