Good for you. The antivaxxers are so full of misinformation out there. Never take anything they say at face value. It's a mindset and lifestyle that isn't responsive to logical facts. There is some tragedy in there with autism and the need to blame it on something will always be there. That fear goes beyond autism and vaccines though. .
I got the Pfizer vaccine and the first was uneventful but on the second I hurt immediately and eventually ended up with a hematoma about 6" X 6 " on my arm.
My son, born around the height of the "autism vaccine" scare, on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. Two things:
We don't blame it on anyone or anything; and
We are one of the few parents of children on the spectrum who have an intact, happy marriage.
Day after 2nd Moderna shot today. A little tired, small headache, low grade fever (99.8) & sore shoulder. Supposedly good since immunity kicking in, but I don't feel great about it. My brother got his...of course is fine.

2 days after 2nd Moderna shot now...feel perfectly fine...side effects only lasted one day for me.
4 days after second Pfizer shot.
NADA — feel great, less arm tenderness than first shot. No side effects at all, not even tiredness this time.
First shot triggered some bad arrhythmia, but not the second shot.
People are afraid of RNA vaccines because they are "new". However, not entirely new. They have been worked on for over a decade, and tested in different applications. Just because they were "new" to covid-19, does not mean the RNA vaccine was untested. So they were not tested for "two months". They were tested only for a few months with the covid spike protein, but that shouldn't matter, there's nothing alarming about that, imho.
There's a lot more to be afraid of in getting covid.
Right. And, more apparent complications from "traditional" ones like J and J and Astrozeneca. I'm very sensitive to meds, vaccines, etc. I avoid unless absolutely necessary. I got the vaccine because it was the logical thing to do, not letting fear of a vaccine intervene in my judgement. I'm glad I got it, only way out of this mess.
3) Flu.. How many times have you heard "I won't take a flu shot. Last time I did, it gave me the flu"? Think that through.. You know they didn't get the flu.. So what did they get? A strong immune response to it.
Outside of those.. What vaccinations does someone over the age of 6 get?
You've heard of it.. Just didn't realize you did..
What I'm kinda curious about.. Is there any correlation between the reactions to a tetnus shot, or flu shot and the COVID vaccination shot? If you "got the flu" from the flu shot, does that mean you'll likely have a strong reaction to the COVID vax?
I never have "gotten the flu" after my annual flu shot. I had what I would consider a mild but expected response to the COVID vax (unlike zero response other than a sore injection site for a couple of days from the "flu shot). I mean, I felt tired and ran a low grade fever for about 36 hours - off and on, not constant - after the COVID 19 shot and then suddenly, BOOM, it lifted. I can tell you exactly when I suddenly felt fine - it was at 8 pm Sunday evening, and I had my second vaccination (Pfizer) the day before around 10 am. I had no symptoms at all till about 10 pm Saturday night - low grade fever and chills - but they went away after I took an ibuprofen. Then Sunday morning I felt fine, went to church and felt fine through church and then out to eat afterward, but then when we were nearly done with our meal, suddenly I just felt extremely tired and by the time we got home, I had a low grade fever which lasted till 8 pm, so I felt tired and had mild chills off and on. No worries - it was Sunday and I just laid on the sofa and binge watched something or other and a few hours later I felt fine.
So I don't know whether I would call that mild or "strong." Some might call it either way. I just know I had some symptoms I considered to be mild but which would have kept me from doing anything significant like going to work or shopping or going out with friends or whatever. All I felt like doing was laying on my sofa for a few hours.
None . . And I got the 1st shot of the Moderna last Sunday the 25th of April ..
And I await for the 2nd and FINAL one come May 23rd or even a couple of days before
