The question is simple, does the benefit of using said vaccine or medication outweigh the risk of not using it. In the case of covid being sick for a couple of days and a guarantee of preventing future death is better than a resulting death had the user not taken it.
I would say a couple of days of flu is vastly better than some of the other side effects I've seen with other medications. Take for instance:
- Suicidal thoughts
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Internal bleeding
- Cancer
At the end of the day, we rely on medical professionals to help us with these decisions and weigh the treatment of said ailments against the side effects we may incur if we do or don't take treatment. For what it's worth I've seen the opposite, most folks took the day off just in case there was a side effect, but ultimately everyone was fine. I know I scheduled my vaccine shots for a Thursday so I could have a 3 day weekend assuming I wasn't feeling ill, and I felt fine so I enjoyed my 3 day weekend.
