It was the only vaccine that I had that gave me even the sore arm issue. Also I think your right that it has an above normal rate of more severe reactions. OTHO some people (not apparently you) seem to be portraying it as some mass source of ill-health and death. The vaccine has become some sort of polarized issue with people lining up behind vaccine mandates or lockdowns for the unvaccinated and other types of quasi-fascist control on one side, while some on the other side portray anyone who gets the vaccine as an idiot and think the vaccine has killed more than the disease. With neither side having an appropriately balanced view of the issue, and both sides grabbing at any fragment of actual data (or in some cases fake data) that that supports their position without putting it in any balanced context. I agree it should be a personal choice. Particularly with a vaccine that might not be the most effective, but even more generally with better vaccines as a matter of principle. I'm not a fan of the broader anti-vaxxers allowing spread if mini-measles epidemics and such but I also don't want police-state tactics used against them.
