I'll say this.... getting vaccinated in life isn't always about death. Just because there is a 99% chance you'll live through something doesn't mean a vaccine has no merit. It still sucks ass getting this. I don't have faith in the vaccine, so I threw the dice. If it was an established vaccine like tetanus, I would have gotten it.
That sounds like a well-reasoned approach to me. In the end, I broke down went with the J&J because the technology has been around longer and has been used for other things. It also seems to have been tested in places with other variants floating around at the time. But, like you said, it still is throwing the dice, like everything else in life. Get well soon.
