As far as the side effects go, well the data is still coming in on that. Most side effects from the vaccine are mild but, then again, most cases of Covid-19 are mild for those in the lower risk groups.
One of the most serious side effects of the vaccine that I'm aware of were blood clots (thrombosis) associated with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. I've heard of other reported side effects up to, and including, sudden unexplained death following the vaccination.
Are fears of the vaccination overblown? Probably. Are fears of Covid-19 overblown for most people? Probably.
it is not the open/shut case that you might think that it is.

I was aware that young people were much more apt to develop the flu like symptoms after the second shot of the mRNA vaccines. I was actually hoping I would have a reaction which would signal to me that my immune system is still quite robust for an old broad. My immune system did not fail me. I know now that my immune system has a lot of life left. I welcomed those symptoms after my 2nd Moderna shot. After a miserable 10 1/2 hours, I was good to go.
It is unfortunate that J&J vaccine has had some problems but I'm more concerned for the mRNA vaccines. My husband and my entire family has received the Moderna vaccine so that is why I am more concerned with mRNA vaccines. With all the reading I have done about the mRNA vaccines, there has been no evidence those vaccines have been the direct cause of death yet.
