Does any one here know or have some information about how safe it is to get the Covid-19 shots if one has unknowingly been exposed to the virus without any severe complications.
I want to go for the vaccine but I'm not certain if I have had the virus or not & I have idea how safe that would be.

I've had it and I've also had both my shots - I'm still alive!
I did have nasty side effects from the first jab, and much, much less from the second - but Herself (who gave Covid to me in the first place) had no side effects at all from either.
While there are risks associated with any vaccine, they are pretty small and the number of serious effects from the virus are very very low (especially compared with the number from the virus itself).
I'd say "go for it" - if only to be sure that you can't easily get it and pass it to other, more vulnerable people.
If nothing else, pretty soon you will need to be able to prove you are vaccinated to go shopping, let alone to a bar, or a new job ...

This is exactly how returning to office is shaping up (unofficially) with my current employer.

It was my understanding that HIPAA made it illegal for an employer to enquire about your medical status.
Of course HIPAA is US-centric, but given how other countries are even more restrictive than the US, I would imagine there are equivalents elsewhere...
But then, these are unusual circumstances. And I find it interesting how laws are thrown out the window the instant we find ourselves under said circumstances.

Thanks for the link. This is exactly the sort of answer I was looking for.

And the precident had already been set: When Mrs. wife was teaching she needed proof of flu shot or had to wear a mask. Years before COVID.

That is the most convincing argument for not having the jab I have yet heard ...

Dear OriginalGriff,
Thank you for your sharing your experience... but...
I Hear my screen reader reading laughing after your quip to the effect "You may as well bend over...". I am sorry for that and your state of mind. There is a tendency in our society to laugh after admitting to something very sad like an addiction or death and or taxes. Admitting that the powers that be will force this person to get this very dangerous experimental MRNA treatment and that he has no choice but to comply is just such a sadness that is Not at all funny but very dystopian. I have followed the corona virus disease event very closely and I use Ivermectin vitamin D and zinc to stay safe. I am safer to be close to than any who has had the experimental treatment. I am sorry for any one who has had the treatment. Some day when and if you experience chronic illness like arthritis, Chromes disease, inflammatory driven complexes etc. I hope you remember this episode in your life and that the so called vaccine could be the cause. Too many people harmed by the Pharmaceutical Industry never realize why they are so sick. Please consider learning about Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and other elements of proven protocols that can and do prevent and cure infections from a wide spectrum of viruses including those said to cause severe acute respiratory syndromes like covid 19 or its variants.
thank you for your contribution here
blessings

Based on what metrics? Which experts tested you?

Disparaging the "pharmaceutical industry" (capitalized even), yet..

Who do you think makes these two drugs you're pushing?

Or it was that time I was near a microwave, or ate a banana, or went to the beach and/or ate that bad shellfish, or inhaled some asbestos, etc. Know why? Because these are INCREDIBLY CCOMMON ailments that have existed long before COVID.

doctor's here in the States do not want you getting a vaccine shot until 90 days out from last good test if you have been hospitalized with COVID-19 (as my close friend was, almost died). -- now that is worse case scenario (aside from death).
What I recommend you do is consult a professional doctor (not a nurse, not a friend, not a family member, not the internet, not a wanna-be covid expert), but an MD and explain your situation and get their recommendation.
my 2 cents.

That's valid for ANY vaccine if you have been hospitalized for ANY infection.
Over here they check your journal, plus checking off a load of questions before giving you any vaccines. I'd assume that's valid more or less everywhere.

Don't put all doctors on a pedestal. Don't forget that there are s****y, opinionated people in every profession.
I'm not suggesting "consulting the internet" is any better. I just generally object to such blanket statements.
|

I think a person has much bigger problems in their life, if they don't trust their primary care doctor.
I also think a person has even bigger problems in their life if they don't have a primary care doctor.
|
|
|
|
|
Which is why it's so important, exactly as you say, to have a doctor you can trust.
I'm just objecting to blind faith, is all.

Wtf?! When managers say "ask the coders," do you say, "Don't put all coders on a pedestal. Don't forget that there are s****y, opinionated people in every profession"?
Or is, "I just generally object to such blanket statements" meant to be incredibly ironic?
|

Calm down. I'm just saying it's not always so black-and-white.
Some people think that doctors--ALL doctors--somehow possess superhuman knowledge, skills, talent, etc and should never be questioned. When it comes to something as important as health, there's a reason you're often advised to get a second opinion.
I've never heard of anyone holding coders to such standards, so to answer your question, no I don't, because it never comes up.

|
|
Oh, I'm calm.  Did you say something?
|
|
|
|
|
What? Are you seriously suggesting that the cherry-picking, agenda-advancing, axe-grinding, attention seeking internet isn't the best source for life-changing decisions?
Man, have I ever been doing this all wrong...

I read that 95% of everything on the internet is biased and/or twisted from the truth for some political agenda. The other 5% is outright lies.
...of course, I read that on the internet!

Wheeler's specialization of Sturgeon's Law[^] to the Internet states:
"99.97% of everything on the Internet is crap."
It is worthwhile noting that the percentage is asymptotically approaching 100% as time goes on.

Isn't that about the same percentage they give to the survival rate of having covid?

Huh. Fortunately correlation is not causality. I read that in a book somewhere. Or saw it on Star Trek. One of the two.
