Your lab rat reporting in:

My lymph nodes are starting to get inflamed on the side I received the shot. The muscle soreness is gone, but I'm generally not feeling all that great. I can't really describe it... general malaise and mild nausea feeling. I wasn't able to eat as much today because of it. I'm also getting occasional chills and somewhat lightheaded at times.

I can see why they were worried about people not following through with the second dose. Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know what it has been like.

Combination of factors. Family member living in my home is in poor health already, want to reduce risk of COVID stroke, and I'm pretty much guaranteed to get the virus in my line of work. It was the unknown of long term effects of the virus vs the unknown long term effects of the vaccine. No win scenario.

I'm not looking for sympathy, just sharing information about what to expect if you get it. Frankly, it's doing a good job on its own of convincing people not to get it. lol

Every organism on planet earth will be exposed to it, eventually.

It is only a matter of when, not if.

This is not an excuse nor a reasonable answer. You get the virus, you quarantine. Plenty of people have survived after catching it. You took the vaccine not knowing what was in it, the greater implications it carries for our entire civilization (the only way people will take it, is if they see other people take it).

It's not about my survival. The dilemma is a pre-symptomatic and/or asymptomatic spread. If you have a family member that's on death's door already, game over. That, and we're finding out that otherwise asymptomatic people are sometimes getting strokes from it. If the risk/reward doesn't work for you, don't get it. No problem.

You have absolutely no idea what that vaccine is. By normalizing it, you encourage others to get it, so you can't just say that "oh it's not about me". If it wasn't, you would have considered that. I know you're not religious but that vaccine is the mark of the beast and I hope no one takes it.

You don't actually believe they magically made a vaccine for a coronavirus do you? We've been trying to do that since we first came up with vaccines.
