That's interesting cuz I keep debating whether I want the vaccine. Not going to get into a long story but I believe I already caught it over a year ago that I chalked up to pneumonia so I believe my body can fight it better if I catch it again if that's what I had. I'm amongst people all the time just saying. It's just I keep hearing conflicting reports on these vaccines.
the vaccines are all safe - they've found some evidence in under 30s that there's a slightly higher risk of blood clots (we're talking exceedingly unlikely anyway - it's certainly possible that the number is in line with general population suffering blood clots and might not be anything to do with the vaccine) and that's in the astrozeneca one only - not sure what's happening with johnson and johnson because that's not in the UK or Europe (and doesn't look like it will be for a while if ever) but all the ones that have been approved are very safe and all work
but what they've found for sure is that having covid doesn't necessarily mean you have any immunity or antibodies so i would definitely recommend the vaccines
the pfizer and moderna really are an amazing design if you can get either of those 2 - those 2 are for sure safe and have ~95% efficacy which is great - and the bonus of all of the vaccines is that if they make you feel ill after you take them (normally lasts a maximum of 48 hours) it means you can be pretty sure that the vaccine is working - if you don't get ill it almost certainly still worked too
i've had my first dose of pfizer and it felt like having covid again for about 24 hours and then i was fine
