Who would flame? It's fine - normal, even - to have a reaction to it

First time around I had a heavy arm, little under the weather for a day or so - shivery, cotton wool head, that kind of thing - but that was all.

Second time around I had no heavy arm or fluish symptoms but I have spent a lot of time "napping". I've been asleep more than I've been awake for a week, basically, and I put that down to the vaccine.

It's all good. One of my friends died of covid; three have "long covid", which doesn't kill you but utterly f**king sucks, at least one has had covid twice, a number of other have had it just the once with effects ranging from utterly debilitating to "bit like a flu". I'll take what I went through over what they went through any day, and I'll have my third/booster in the autumn too if that's what the quacks say I should do.

Some people have no reaction to the vaccine, others are wiped out for a week or so, most seem to have some effects for a few days (which, while unpleasant and sometimes very unpleasant, aren't anything like as bad as what I've seen people with actual covid go through). It's all normal and all of our immune systems react differently to different stimuli.
