What "side effects" from the disease? I know at least a dozen folks that had Covid and have NO side effects from it. Yes, some folks have died WITH Covid. I am not suggesting that you are wrong, because the vaccine has probably saved millions of lives. However, the only side effects related to Covid is IF you become infected. Consider this, you are voluntarily getting the inoculation so you are running toward any side effects, whereas a person that is prudent about safety and does all the right things related to avoiding the virus is attempting to NOT become infected. So, that person will not have any side effects from the virus IF they are not infected. If they ARE infected, the chances of death or lasting side effects are very low.
I presumed the possibility of side effects when I chose to get the shots. I am the one that did all the shopping in the past year and I had no wish to infect my spouse. I willingly and knowingly took the chance that I might suffer side effects, in hopes of protecting her. If I was solo and had no one relying on me, I might have chosen a different path. I do not get the FLU shot and have never had the FLU. My choice.
Rather than second guessing and worrying over something that you have no control over, after getting the shots, why not just live your life with the idea of what will be, will be?
