Anecdotally, four family members of mine have been vaccinated by Pfizer and experienced no side effects beyond a light immune response; one had a swollen lymph node near the injected arm, all were temporarily tired and achy, two had minor headaches. Symptoms ended after a few days and they've seemed completely normal for multiple weeks now, with no lingering problems.

Keep in mind that the viral load on the body from a full-blown infection could be considerably worse, if not lethal, and Covid is likely here to stay or will remain prevalent for years. Your chance of acquiring it goes up and up, so from my perspective, why take the risk if immunization is available? The potential for long term damage from Covid has been proven, with elevated stroke risk, brain inflammation, cardiovascular and lung damage, etc.

The conspiracy about population control through immunization also doesn't make a lick of sense to me, because mRNA is rapidly used up and vanishes from the body within days, and the spike proteins that your cells churn out are gradually degraded and removed after a few weeks, leaving nothing to be latently triggered by some heinous plan. The spike protein was also examined and doesn't resemble syncytin-1 (a placental protein) whatsoever, so it won't cause infertility like some initially feared. Normal births have already happened with vaccinated women. Fearmongers need to do their research, because as an initial skeptic, I did mine thoroughly and had my worries sufficiently relieved.

The only reasons I would advise against taking the vaccine without a doctor's consultation is if you have a history of allergic reactions to injections, or if you've already recovered from Covid and are paranoid about some undiscovered long term impact of the vaccine, which I find highly doubtful but won't explicitly say is impossible.
