So the same as pretty much every vaccine, and what most expect when they have travel jabs, flu jab etc.Both companies have said that taking their vaccines could result in side effects similar to mild Covid symptoms. Think muscle pain, chills and a headache.
Probably because the patient's stress level goes down.There's also a massive amount of evidence that Placebos are effective.

All that quackery is standard practice in India, they even have a govt ministry for it under the mad Modi govt, who originally promoted the use of cow's urine to combat Covid.

Wifeynurse had the NHS acupuncture qualification, and when she was practicing on me I can vouch for the fact that it worked. In my case I believe it worked because I stopped worrying about a painful shoulder when she had bloody great 2” stainless steel needles in her hands.I think acupuncture works because it affects the parasympathetic areas on the nervous system.

Certainly preferable to having a lumbar puncture performed by a junior doctor during the “killing season” which I had the misfortune of about a decade ago; was almost bad enough to give my trypanophobia when he messed procedure up for a 3rd time but thankfully consultant took over before he wasted their entire supply of spinal needles!
