AZ had to offer the vaccine at cost because they didn't develop it themselves. It was a condition of the license from Oxford University.

- cmrdporcupine 5y agoI have been dosed with both AZ and Pfizer/BioNTech and I almost feel like I should have been paid to take the AZ. Brutal side-effects.
- colaclanth 5y agoI also think I should've been paid for how brutal (and sudden) the effects of covid were on me - And that was something I didn't have any choice in the matter in...
- jacquesm 5y agoNot necessarily a bad thing. If your body reacts strongly to a vaccine that is a sign that your immune system has taken notice. As a reductio-ad-absurdum argument: if you were injected with a saline solution you'd have no side effects (assuming a clean needle!) but also no protection at all.
- nradov 5y agoThere doesn't appear to be any real correlation between the severity of vaccine side effects versus long term protection. Those are separate parts of the immune system. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/what-covid-vaccine-side-effects-can-and-cant-tell-you-about-your-bodys-immune-response https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/what-covid-vaccine-side-...

- abcd_f 5y agoRe: not a bad thing - I had a really bad reaction to the second shot of Moderna and I was rather pissed about it until I realized that the symptoms were almost exactly the same as those of my father who actually had Covid. Except he had it twice as bad. So the take-away for me was that if you have a bad reaction to a vaccine, consider yourself lucky, because it would’ve been much worse if you were to contract the actual virus.
