Pretty minor for me. Was really tired the day of and the next morning I felt like I was hungover. Was gone by the afternoon. And I had a pretty bad reaction to the second shot.

Horrendous. Worse than having Covid. Took a week to feel normal.

But I think I had bad side effects because I had Covid 8 weeks earlier. Should’ve waited.

Hyperbole.

Anecdote, but when the 4 of us got tested and were positive, whether we were vaccinated was not asked or tracked.

I don’t see how this statistic can be accurate. My wife was COVID tested in Connecticut this past week because she felt rundown with a slight fever. Nobody asked her vaccination status.

Exactly what I just posted!

I got the booster and had no reaction to it other than a slightly sore arm for a day or two. My reaction to the second dose was mild, but I did have some fatigue from that. I had Pfizer for the vaccine and booster.

I thought it was interesting in that article that Lamont’s spokesman claimed Connecticut has the highest vaccination rate in the country. Connecticut is doing very, very well but doesn’t have the highest vaccination rate. That’s Vermont and has been for awhile from what I’ve seen.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. Just because vaccines aren't perfect, many want to dismiss them entirely. That's like releasing a .300 hitter in baseball for a .200 hitter because, you know, they both make outs.

But you're making a straw man argument. NO ONE has said they are perfect. Just that they are good.

Actually there is a database that will say whether you are vaccinated or not. Otherwise there wouldn't be things like NY's Excelsior Pass out there. So they don't need to ask and that's how they can get the stats on whether a case, hospitalization or death involved someone vaccinated or not.

Moderna for all three, no effects on first dose, 103 fever with chills and shaking for about a day on the 2nd dose, no effects on the booster.

When you get tested they can and do know if you are vaccinated
