Fatigue

2.17.2021 – This shit was my SECOND DOSE - You have it as my first = Wrong

2.20.2021 – The information you are collecting as dose #1 is actually dose # 2! The data you are collecting is going to be 100% incorrect, and therefore NOT Scientifically usable I am guessing that most people are responding as I have been, and for whatever reason you have the form preset as DOSE #1 = NO GOOD! YOU NEED TO REDO YOUR ENTIRE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR EVERYONE, OTHERWISE YOU ARE GIVING OUT FALSE DATA! MY response above for fatigue, is not necessarily from the shot but this was the only way I could get this information to you! Not

2.21.2021 – I do NOT SEE IF YOU CORRECTED THIS TO DOSE #2!!!! IF NOT YOUR DATA IS NO GOOD & ANYTHING YOU SHARE AS REPORTED SYMPTOMS AND SIDE EFFECTS IS FAULTY, INACCURATE, & UNSCIENTIFIC & SHOULD NOT BE PASSEF ON TO TJE PUBLIC, OR ANYONE AS STATISTICAL INFORMATION!!!! This DOES NOT ONLY APPLY TO MY RESPONSES - YOU ARE COLLECTING INCORRECT INFO FROM MANY PEOPLE (IF NOT ALL)!!!! My wife had the same request for incorrect info & stopped responding!!! I am attempting to help, and you do not seem to care! I only gave an answer in this section to ADVISE you, or it would have been "NONE!" I am fatigued, but probably, almost definitely NOT FROM THE VACCINE! REPLY TO ME, OR THIS INGO IS GOING TO THE MEDIA!
