I'm a "science" dude. I do stats. I looked over the paper. In every single scenario, there were more deaths in the control groups than in the vaccinated groups. So the vaccines do have that going for them, which is nice. Moderna had the most "adverse reactions" of any of the vaccines, by far. But it is also the vaccine that is performing the best, by far, against the Delta variant. **Story time, chuckle-fucks:** I got the Moderna. It was required for me to do my job (travel) and I work in critical infrastructure - I care more about keeping the power on and keeping the terrorists away than I do about my health. Here is my experience with the Moderna: **First Dose:** The next day, I felt extremely tired. For the first time in 10+ years, I had to take time off of work. I took the afternoon off, sent my boss a message "I'm extremely tired from the vaccine. I'm going to sleep. I'm cancelling all afternoon meetings." I had no appetite. I slept for 12 hours straight. When I woke up, still no appetite. I knew it wasn't good so I forced myself to eat and drink water. I ate a protein bar and crackers. Drank a liter of water. Went back to sleep for 4 more hours and went to work. But I felt lethargic from then on out until the next dose. **Second Dose:** Wasn't so bad. I still felt very sleepy the next day. But I was a smart little bitch and scheduled the next day off. So I took a nap or 2 and rested. But since then, I've been lethargic for MONTHS. I've felt lethargic this whole time. I don't have the energy to workout. I got 2 blood tests to see if there is anything wrong with me. Nothing. Going in for a 3rd blood test to see if my testosterone levels or thyroid levels are messed up to explain the lethargy (test levels being low doesn't make sense because I've been fine for years, no issues). It's very specific to the very next day after the vaccine so we are quite sure it was the Moderna vaccine. I'm about 80% better from the lethargy thing. That 20% is still the difference between being motivated to workout and just wanted to go to bed. Hate it. I'm an athlete - I'm a muscled beast. I enjoy working out and competing. So I KNOW this vaccine fucked my body up. This is not normal for me. I didn't magically get a disease the day after my first dose. Hope this helps others better understand the vaccine. Sure, you're giving yourself a much higher chance of surviving COVID-19 if you do get symptoms. And you're making yourself less likely to spread the virus. But if you have an adverse reaction like I did, it is not worth it. I didn't have a choice, really. Not everyone works in my sector and I enjoy the work I do.
