Back when the pandemic first began infecting the U.S., the top infectious disease and medical experts warned that the virus was so dangerous and life-threatening, and that so little was understood about it within the scientific community, that any vaccine that could be developed to fight it would probably be nothing more than a glorified flu shot.

Listening to the testimonies from people who have been participating in these vaccine trials, it seems as though that's exactly what this Pfizer vaccine that's being distributed is: nothing more than a glorified vaccine. Many trial participants have been reporting that the side effects they've experienced from the vaccine (especially after the second dose, since it has to be administered in two separate doses) were severe flu-like symptoms: high fever, chills, nausea, extreme fatigue, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those anti-vaxers at all, but I'm really apprehensive about the effectiveness of such a COVID vaccine - especially when you consider that, for all intents and purposes, it was clearly a rush job (not that we had many options).

How did they get two doses already? The first doses were given on Monday, and the follow-up dose is supposed to be 21 days later.

Fauci approved of both the Pfizer and the ZModerna vaccine, both having a 95% effective rate.
It’s not uncommon to feel symptoms after a vaccine. The first flu shot I got 20 years ago knocked me on my butt. But every year after that my body tolerated it.

So the side effects of the COVID vaccine shot are the same as the side effects of a flu vaccine shot? And from that you take that the COVID vaccine is nothing more than a glorified flu shot? Alrighty then
