Why would Pfizer over AstraZeneca be any different on the kidneys?

Retirednow

I’m not a nephrologist. Maybe losing one and CKD on the other…

Right you didn't ask given Covid is pretty serious in unvaccinated seniors?. My father inlaw has one kidney and was given AstraZeneca. I know a few of breastfeeding women who are "waiting" for Pfizer. There is no evidence whatsoever that either vaccine has any effects on breastfeeding milk. I just wonder if some people have been putting themselves at Covid risk without any substantiating evidence.

The contraindications for the two vaccines are very different. Fortunately she has access to professional medical advice on what is best for her and doesn't have to listen to randoms spouting misinformation on the interwebs.

Ouch. Why did people fall for Pfizer. 22% drop per month.

Especially randoms who can't tell the difference between clickbait and science.

You replied to yourself. Just letting you know.

If you are in Queensland, this is coming your way at some point in the next week....the campaign will start at midday on Tuesday but will take days to complete.

https://statements.qld.gov.au/statements/93402
Text messages and recorded voice messages will be sent to millions of people across the state at midday on Tuesday, urging Queenslanders to get vaccinated.

Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said the text blast was part of the government’s campaign to ramp up Queensland’s vaccination rollout.

“Getting vaccinated is vital to keeping Queensland safe and protecting our freedoms in this state,” she said.

Please please, do NOT block the number from which these messages will come. I'm not going to comment on the appropriateness or otherwise of using the Emergency Alert system in this way, but this is also the system used for alerts for tsunamis, cyclones, floods and bushfires. The number it will come from is 0444 444 444. For the sake of your safety in future natural disasters, please do not block it.

All comments, complaints etc should be directed to QHealth. Don't reply to the text, it will go nowhere.

Does it mention Pfizer?

Brisbannite

Exactly right thanks for calling out yet more misinformation.

In QLD you can literally take your pick of three vaccines, do a walk-in without an appointment, and the jab shows up on your Medicare vaccination record within a few days.

I know of no one who has had problems getting their vaccine of choice.

Brisbannite

Its called continuing a chain of thought. This can't be something you have much experience of

Brisbannite

I think Queenslanders have got more sense than to block that number, give us some credit.

I'm looking forward to getting my text, thanks for all your hard work of being part of the war (against covid) effort.

This is way better than that ridiculous letter that Scotty from Marketing sent out. What a waste of resources, and at a time when Auspost was really under the pump with delayed deliveries.

Beoz

Queenslanders have more sense not to block a number that's asking them to have the sense to get vaccinated in order prevent them from catching, being hospitalised, or dying from Covid, because they haven't had the sense to be vaccination already. You aren't making sense.

Brisbannite

More comedy gold I actually laughed out loud at "sense to be vaccination already"
