The info on the Pfizer vaccine keeps getting better and better. What a cluster frick! I know now why they busted their arse to be first; because NOBODY will use this shite when the competition comes along.

The storage container Pfizer developed and is using in place of the freezer can only be opened twice a day for 1 minute or less each time. The dry ice must be replaced every 5 days. The vials you retrieve in that 60 seconds, when reconstituted, make 5 doses each. Those doses must be used within 6 hours or they must be discarded. Nobody knows, and Pfizer isn’t saying how long you can continue to use the container, nor how to obtain dry ice since it is already in short supply in some areas. Pfizer’s vaccine requires two doses per person 3 weeks apart. I’ve also heard some anecdotal reports that at least some of the trial participants developed some pretty rough adverse effects from it; flu like symptoms for 1-2 days after injections. And before you say that’s not bad, I did that with Shingrix and let me tell you, you feel like utter shite for 24 hours. I felt so bad I actually went and got a flu test. I know it beats the alternative but it’s certainly not pleasant.
