I got my first shot of Comirnaty (Pfizer-Biontech) yesterday, and would do it again 100 times if needed. I will also have my 2nd dose in early September because although I got Covid (2 times, fist one symptomatic), my last positive swab was more than 6 months ago, so they assume my antibodies ratio dropped too much in the meantime to be safe with a single dose.
Actually I feel safe for myself because the 2nd time I tested positive was hospitalized for nearly 2 months in a Covid ward after a road accident and was literally surrounded by people with the virus. I'm confident that should I catch it again it will be asymptomatic like the 2nd time, but what about other people? How could I live knowing that I brought it to someone because I was so stupid to avoid the vaccination? I'm shocked of the number of people I see who only think along the lines of "I'm safe, I already got it/I'm young" etc. They seem to disregard completely their effect on others. For fuck's sake, people walk around, they move, and bring what they have along with them when they meet others. Is it so hard to get that? I've seen right in front of my face people die with the virus, so I welcome the shots.
About side effects, have anti vaxers ever read any medicines leaflets? One can get nasty side effects with a lot of them. I already wrote about an experience of mine, and here's another: very recently had to halve the dosage of Doxazosin I use to keep blood pressure down because during the last days I was developing an urinary tract infection, and probably will stop taking it the next days. Yes, that one is a side effect, even a pretty common one, of an otherwise normal and safe cure against high blood pressure. And by common side effects, we're talking about 1% to 10%, not one in a hundred thousands or less.
Covid19 vaccines rare side effects are making the news just because there is someone ready to count them on live TV and social media for their own political gain, otherwise they would slip under the radar, just like a lot of other medicines side effects already do since forever, only to be withdrawn from the market should those side effects ratio reach a dangerous level.
As for my shot, felt nothing at all during all yesterday, while today I woke up with a small bump on my left arm where I got the shot and it hurts mildly only if I touch it, otherwise aside feeling weaker than usual no problems at all.

First, you would never know, the virus is out there and some people get COVID symptoms days after getting infected. Second, by vaccinating you are not preventing infecting other people. You are increasing your chances that when you get COVID it won't be very bad If you really can't sleep because you can still infect someone, I think you have to self-isolate till the end of your life. In space-suit preferably.
