To preface this, I'm totally for vaccines and have convinced others to get the COVID shot...
Two things... I haven't found anything from a white paper to read up on this new vaccine. Like I think the last thing I found was like 'its the best we got but local variants will persist.' And my hesitation is that when ever I got my COVID vax and boosters... It fucked me up bad. I was useless for three days each time. I don't react well to medicine... I can't take a full xyzal without loosing a day. I did catch COVID once and I realize most logical reason it wasn't that bad was because of the shot, but in my past I never get the flu or any thing that bad. Like I get sniffles at worse .. so I guess I'm wondering/hoping I don't need the shot... I couldn't move those three days from the vax and I'm wondering if it's another medication I'm overly sensitive to. But I will likely put up with loosing a weekend to try to consider others around me as I'm not sure how to prove or test that.
I guess my point is I'm looking for more data to make a good decision here.
edit - I'm confused by the downvotes... I'm getting the shot, I just want more info and yet have been provided anything but downvote or general information about covid. I'm asking data on the new vaccine but I don't want to seem to come off combative... like I'm for it lol shrugs
COVID has long lasting effects across your entire body, it impacts your immune and cardiovascular systems for years after you get it.
Risks of heart attack, stroke, etc are increased 2.5x in the year after infection, increasing exponentially with the number of times you have been infected. In fact, the risk of pretty much ANY health problem skyrockets following a COVID infection.
