Pfizer Shot Questions (swollen, cramps, doctor, leg)

[Siberiaboy]

I learned that life insurance may not pay out proceeds if cause of death is related to any of the 3 vaccinations for Covid including Pfizer as the treatments are still in experimental phase ? Is this true? It is a major concern for me. Excluded from life insurance coverage? How is this not a concern for anyone with a young breadwinner in the family?

I've heard this also. Anyone in the insurance industry that can answer this directly?

I got mine on my dominant arm so I'd be using and moving it more. Seemed to really have helped work out the soreness. Hydrate, too, which helps. Older people tend to have less side effects I've read.

Looks like an urban legend - see this article from AARP from a coupla weeks ago:

Apparently that's only an unsubstantiated urban legend. See links above. Do you have any evidence to back what you're claiming? Thanks in advance.

When something sounds that absurd its usually not true.

If there was even a hint of that the insurance companies would be at war with the government. Even an insurance executive is not that dumb.

This certainly isn’t the first time social media posts have offered misinformation and disinformation about vaccines. Tying an available vaccine with life insurance benefits may be a relatively new one though. It’s not clear how many of the social media posts are from actual human beings versus bots or what the actual sources and their agendas may be. There are many reasons why some person or some bot may spread Covid-19 vaccine misinformation, ranging from inadvertently passing something along to “let’s try to decrease confidence in the government or health care so that you can listen to us instead,” whoever us may be. Listening to a social media post from someone who is not a real expert can be akin to walking on the sidewalk and getting advice from trash cans.

If you are still worried that the Covid-19 vaccine will somehow jeopardize your life insurance, here’s an idea. Try calling your insurance company directly or maybe even several insurance companies. Ask them if getting the vaccine will affect your life insurance coverage in any way. Or contact an insurance expert. Look for someone who has real credentials and puts more on his, her, or its profile than just something related to fowl and foul balls.

My experience with Pfizer --

First jab: face & neck flush (no pain or fever), 4 hours after the shot. Lasted 45 minutes. Not even sure it was related to the vaccine.

Second jab:
8 hours later, started to feel tired.
12 hours later, 99.6 degree temp.
injection site: sore to the touch; headache.
20 hours later, 100.6 (took 1000 mg tylenol).
26 hours later, armpit sore (lymph node getting to work, making defenders).
30 hours later, 99.6
36 hours later, back to myself

My experience with Pfizer:

First shot 03/13/21: Injection in my right arm (dominant side). Arm pain and soreness lasted 24 hours, no fever or other symptoms.

Second shot 04/01/21: Injection in my left arm (switched to non-dominant side), 2-3 hours of arm soreness, no fever or other symptoms.

I'm a 50 year old female with no pre-existing conditions.
