Colorado Doctor: Weird COVID Vaccine Side Effects Include Dreams Of Space
As more people get vaccinated, doctors are learning aboutnew and unusual side effects. CBS4 Medical Editor Dr. Dave Hnida said they are related to a response from the body’s immune system during his weekly question and answer session on CBSN Denver.
“We all know the usual ones, a sore arm, some aches and pains, fatigue,” he explained. “Fortunately severe side effects are very, very uncommon, maybe two-tenths of one percent out of all the millions of vaccines that have been given.”
Dr. Hnida said a pattern is starting to emerge of what he called some really weird side effects that can be explained but not predicated.
“They include things like ‘Moderna arm’ which should be called ‘COVID arm,’ first seen in people who received the Moderna vaccine but now it’s across the board with all the vaccines.
“What happens here is about five to seven days after you are vaccinated,you get this rash and it can down your whole arm, the arm you were vaccinated in. It’s an itchy rash and you think, ‘Oh my gosh, what is going on here?’ It really is just a delayed reaction from your immune system.”
Dr. Hnida says it clears up on its own within five to seven days.
He also addressed “nickel mouth” or “metal mouth“People, literally within in a couple of minutes of getting their vaccine to a day or so after, just taste like they’ve got a lot of coins in their mouths, a really metallic taste.”
It also impacts how food and beverages taste and, again, is believed to be an immune system response.
Vivid dreams, especially ones about space, are also reported as a side effect. Those include “Back To The Future” dreams filled with hovercrafts and hover cars.
“Flying to the moon, planting the flag on the moon. Even somebody going out and taking Abraham Lincoln to get a Big Mac and having the staff want him to autograph the bills. We really think it has something to do with the immune response.They are temporary.”
Dr. Hnida said it’s believed the response to the vaccine may interrupt sleep cycles, especially the REM cycle where we dream.
He also said anyone who has filler injections, like in their lips, should be aware of a possibility of swelling after the vaccination.

Tiny Cripple Creek-Victor school stunned by shockingly high utility bill resulting from Texas freeze Normally $6,500 bill jumps to $45,000
The bill was apparently related to the deep freeze that hit Texas over President's Day weekend, which triggered large jumps in the price of natural gas.
They told her it was due to the big February storm. Prices increased drastically," she said.
Bruntz said the price structure was part of a contract signed before she or the previous budget manager were hired at the district.
Denver7 has been reporting on the impact of the Texas freeze on Colorado customers.
Monica Plimack's normal $30 home gas bill for her condo in North Capitol Hill was more than $725.
And Foothills Animal Shelter's March tab was $21,000 — seven times higher than usual.
Bruntz said the Cripple Creek-Victor gas bill was seven times higher, too.
"How can a small district with just over 300 kids afford a bill like that? That's three quarters of my utilities budget," she said.
Residents in the small mountain town worry the oversized utility bill will impact learning in the classroom.
"It's nuts," Shannon Owen said. "There's no nice way to put that. It's crazy."
Bruntz said that she's going to have to move budget items.
"That's a salary and benefits for somebody," she said.
State regulators are investigating. Gov. Jared Polis said some utilities have failed to take common sense measures.
Bruntz said the utility has indicated it will work with the school district, but she added that at a time when they're still trying to find people to work and deal with the learning losses from the pandemic, shifting resources will make that much more difficult.
