Oh brother!! I got none and nothing has changed in my life since March 2020. So much paranoia out there.

Then this doesn't apply to you and move it along. No drive-by shootings are allowed here.

I have never had any long term side effects on any of the vaccines I have ever taken.

This is true of the vast majority of people who are vaccinated.

Right. By actually, it’s very rare to have it. I have more chances of getting struck by lightning.

I've asked family members and anyone really that has had the vaccines, what if any reaction they have had. Family members none have had a reaction. People in general very few have had any problems at all. Yet I get sick and this latest Moderna Vaccine made me severely sick for several days. So sick and scared from the reaction to it and no one I called where I got the shot seemed concerned at all. I honestly thought the first night between the chills fever and migraine type headache. That I was having a heart attack when my heart, suddenly started racing and I became light headed. This scared me so much I will not get another one especially where I live alone.

I now believe not enough is known about these vaccines, and some people will have serious reactions to the vaccine. Which means some people could possible die from the reaction. That's not coming from an Anti Vaccination type because I do believe we need vaccines. It is coming from someone though, that was on his way to the ER from some type of severe reaction to it. Fortunately the heart reaction ceased but it was enough of a scare, to say No thanks to future vaccines. Unless there is more info on why some people react like this and how to prevent it.

I had a similar reaction to the Shingles vaccine. I felt like I had the flu and at one point my heart started to race which scared me because I have had afib episodes before. I looked it up and said it was a possible side effect of the vaccine so I just waited it out. It was tough for me to get the second shot because of how bad I felt with the first one but I've seen the effects of the Shingles so I toughed it out. Oddly enough I didn't have much if any reaction to my first 2 Pfizer Covid shots or the Bivalent booster, but I had a pretty nasty reaction to the first booster 7 months after my initial shots. I was actually considering not getting the bivalent booster but I'm glad I did. I guess you just have to decide which is the lesser of the evils for you.
