Got my second Pfizer shot. First shot resulted in a 4 hour nap (I'm not a napper). Just dropped like a rock. Also, everything tasted like metal for nearly a week, even water. Nasty. Also the next day, it felt like Jason Bourne had shoved a full-sized pen into my arm. Hurt so much I couldn't lift it above my shoulder. Second shot resulted in 30 hours of hardcore flu. Fever, hot & cold cycles, whole-body aches, persistent headache, skin hurt, the works. Really awful. Then it just kind of magically vanished & I suddenly felt better. I had fatigue for a day or two. Honestly I was expecting worse, as I have a garbage immune system. I had a bad experience in the past with antibiotics, where I couldn't eat food for like ten years as a result, so I was definitely in the fast-tracked vaccine-hesitancy group (not anti-vax, just not a fan of new, rushed, untested-long-term stuff), just based on my personal historical experience with medicine that we didn't know the long-term effects of. But the daily death rates are horrible & the side-effects like kidney problems & covid long-haulers aren't terribly exciting either, so I decided to bite the bullet & go for it.
Unfortunately the vaccine doesn't let you skip out on covid testing, as you can still carry it, you're just immune to it. I have to get regular covid testing done, as I visit a lot of customer sites, so I think I have a permanent hole in my brain from being poked so many times. Q-tips are evil lol.
