Hi. I have not had covid, as far as I know. I had a false positive LFT, that the PCR test confirmed was not covid.
My arm feels like it’s been punched, this morning. I feel better after an early night.

Cross posting as pertinent to this thread also:
This recently reported research is interesting
Nocebo responses explain up to 76% of COVID vaccine (systemic) side effects
Some vaccine side effects are very real, but many may be anxiety and mis-attribution.
The harmless interventions (ie faux vaccines in the control half of a trial) can lead people to report harmful side effects, particularly when people are expecting such side effects. Researchers have coined these phantom adverse reactions "nocebo responses." Nocebo responses are thought to stem from expectations of side effects, anxiety-induced effects, and the mistaken attribution of common, non-specific ailments, like headaches, to the placebo.
This Harvard study quantified just how big a role they played: it used meta-analysis (18 Jan JAMA Network Open). It looked at vaccine side-effect data from the many clinical trials. It concluded that nocebo responses accounted for 76% of systemic adverse reactions—like headache, fever, and chills—after the first vaccine dose and 52% of systemic reactions after the second vaccine dose.
There was a clear difference in the local (eg upper arm) side effects. Only 16% of placebo recipients reported local side effects, like pain or swelling at the injection site, while 67% of the vaccine group reported such effects.
Overall the nocebo response rate clearly seems to be skewing our experience with COVID-19 vaccines: the researchers argue that highlighting the potential for nocebo responses could reduce side effects and help improve vaccine uptake.

Good afternoon,
I can't see anything that looks odd to me, but this is not my industry, what worries you?

Can I claim for failure of getting 5g and being able to output 2000w over an hour ?
I feel short changed, nothing has changed, no two heads, now't.

I might sue them, as ever since the vaccine I’ve had Justin Beiber singing in my head. I need them to retune the chip.

I read the jab would make me magnetic and I was really looking forward to that - whenever I clean my knitting machines I'm sure to drop some needles and with me being magnetic, they wouldn't have fallen far. But it didn't work! I want to sue those dumbclucks who promised me that. Even after three jabs, the needles still fall everywhere if they are loose. My standard machine has 420 needles in total and that is a lot to pick up one by one from the floor ...

420 needles, ah knitting machine ? Magnetic properties only work for sewing machines I've been told.

Hah! I was seriously misled if that is so. I will have to get my sewing machine out to test myself for magnetic purposes. If it doesn't pick up all the pins I drop I've been sold the damned jab under false pretences!

Who can be injured? It’s safe & passed clinical trials.
