Probably not right. I got the vaccine on Friday, had a mild fever, some aches & pains, soreness in the arm, but today I'm close to as normal as I get.
As far as long-term effects are concerned, who knows? They can't rush long-term studies.
It's kinda like you're being chased by a hungry lion and race away. Odds are excellent that what you might run into in your escape will be less problematic than the lion.

I had the AstraZenica on Thursday and i've had no problems.
Although reading the guidance notes they give you there are a dozen different 'reported potential problems' that can take up to 'three weeks to show'.
But even if these 'problems' are real (not imagined because some folk were so wound up they imagined their symptoms when questioned) they're not exactly 'allergic reactions'.

[i]Generally feeling unwell[/i]
[i]Feeling tired[/i]
[i]Chills or feeling feverish[/i]
[i]Headache[/i]
[i]Nausea[/i]
[i]Joint pain or muscle ache[/i]
⬆️⬆️⬆️ This listing is from the official guidance notes.
So anything could be responsible for them

Well personally I'm not going to be getting it myself, it was rushed out by companies i know nothing about and who knows what future side affects it may have 🤔. Sorry just my opinion, good luck 👍🏻

@theblueman77 I don't think that back in the days when they discovered penicillin was capable of treating bacterial infections in animals they waited for 10+ years of repeated trials and bureaucracy prior starting using it on people tbh. Also, the time trials take to complete depends mostly on how quickly people in the placebo group experience complications, and amid a pandemic that'll be a lot shorter than, I dunno, in a trial about treatments for some form of cancer or some rare disease.
I respect your opinion and I'm not expecting to change your mind on the subject, just pointing out that from a scientific and even from a percentages of risk perspective you're far more likely to experience complications from covid (or post-covid) than from any hypothetical unknown side effects of the current vaccines.

@theblueman77 so far as I know people who are vaccinated have milder courses of COVID19 if they do contract it despite vaccination (no vaccine is 100%). It's kind of like the flu vaccine in that if you catch another variant at least your system is already acquainted against similar viruses. One of the things that makes COVID19 so deadly is that it is a NOVEL virus - one that "looks" different from any virus our immune systems are familiar with already.
