Probably be like flu you get sick for 3 days. But this one you get sick for 14 days

@Jeffrey53 can you provide a link to proof to back up that statement?

The Pfizer news release stated

Data demonstrate vaccine was well tolerated across all populations with over 43,000 participants enrolled; no serious safety concerns observed; the only Grade 3 adverse event greater than 2% in frequency was fatigue at 3.8% and headache at 2.0%

What are the side effects of the coronavirus vaccine? Are there long-term effects?
Most people who get a COVID-19 vaccine will endure side effects, particularly after a second dose. All three candidate vaccines reported mild or moderate side effects, mostly pain at the injection site, fatigue, and aching muscles and joints for a day or two.

"A sore arm and feeling crummy for a day or two is a lot better than COVID," said Dr. William Schaffner, professor of health policy and of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

@SW-User only proof I have when I got a flu shot I was sick for 3 days

@Jeffrey53 which is normal reaction.
You want your immune system to react to the vaccine. If it does not you've not then built any immunity.
Whilst annoying being ill for a few days after a vaccine shot is actually a good sign. It means your immune system was forced to get to work hard against the substance introduced to you.
Great!
I had a flu vaccine this year and other that a little inflammation at the injection site I had no reaction. My thoughts are actually, "That's a bugger is my immune system not keyed up for the latest flu strains." I'd have preferred to have had your reaction.

But to the point about the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine - you have NO evidence to support your 2 weeks claim.

Thus is misinformation I'd ask you stick to facts and your experience unless you're quoting a reliable source. If you quote something like this gave sources you can refer to like I did. It makes the debate on a level of facts not rumour. Thank you

@SW-User you took my comment seriously. It was just a joke. I’m not getting one

@Jeffrey53 so add an emoji or something to say that. People read what you say and take it verbatim.

1.43million deaths isn't a joke
