I am someone who doesnt react well to medication and most vaccines put me on my ass for a few days so I am careful about them, but I also deal with a lot of people so I get my vaccines regularly.
But the COVID vaccine? Easily....easily the easiest, most painless and simplest vaccine I've ever gotten or dealt with. It was basically a joke.
I have no understanding of the mental gymnastics people have gone through to convince themselves not to get it.
Mind bottling!

It really is nothing.
I had symptoms that were probably 90% attributed to self induced stress and went to bed and woke up right as rain. In fact I'd argue the first injection gave me a boost of energy for some time afterward. A couple friends had the same experience.
The second I got recently and I didn't even feel it this time, was in and out as fast as I'd run to the convenience store to grab a candy bar and was hiking the next day. Only thing I couldn't do was lift weights for a couple days. That's it.
The fuss over this vaccine is ridiculous. I am also highly sensitive to anything entering my system and it didn't disrupt my life at all. Meanwhile I get the mental security of being protected and having all privileges without needing to forge anything.
Its a tiny prick in the arm, like all those needles you got as an infant that were just standard procedure. It's not a lethal poison injection nor a suppression of your human rights.
Anti-vaxxers that don't have a medical reason to be so are just ####ing babies.
