my doctor said they will at least keep you out of the hospital if you get the vaccine. so I chose to get it because I can't afford to become hospitalized. I got 3 covid shots so far.

My first vaccine shot gave me a sore arm and resulted in a little tiredness the day after. Second shot made me feel like I was coming down with the flu for about twenty-four hours, and resulted in a sore arm for a couple of days. That's literally it. For me, it's an absolute no-brainer of a choice. A couple of days of mild discomfort so that I can be safer and so that others around me can also be safer? Yes please.

i'm looking to get my favorite shot so far, but i do not care about the left side there, because these guys are, you know, i don't know one thing they say we want freedom, the other day, do not accept the freedom, so i do not get it i have 2 shots and they received the virus, luckily, it is a slow, i mean, it didn't affect me that much, so i guess it works for most people

My shots didn't give me but sore arm for few days. The second shot however gave me tiredness the day after for some hours. The sore arm is obviously the most common discomfortable side effect., but that'd eventually pay off.

I've had 2 shots so far, both of them Pfizer. The first one gave me a sore arm and a little bit of tiredness. The second one also gave me a sore arm, together with a serious headache, fever like symptoms and mild pains in various parts of my body for the following 2 days or so. I should be getting my third some time in March, so we'll see how that one goes. Definitely unpleasant, but I'll take it over the real thing any day. Particularly now my mum has COVID and I might actually be at risk of infection.

I got the shot last year so will probably head in sometime in the future to get my booster.

Can anyone explain this "protecting others" bit please? It makes no sense to me. If you get your vaccine, then you're 100% protected from hospitalisation from what you guys are saying. So even if you do catch it, you won't get ill anyways, no?

So if you walk too close to Johnny Unvaccinated, and he gives it you, you won't even notice. Ergo, how does one person's choice affect anyone other than themselves?

I keep hearing how it protects other people, but whenever I dare to ask how, I just get shouted at.

Infections are not just individual two-way streets.

If Johnny is sick and also unvaccinated, and you're vaccinated, and he comes near you, there is still a chance, albeit a smaller one, that you get sick in the first place. The likelihood is that you won't have to go to the hospital, though very rare breakthrough cases still can and do happen.
Now, as to how you having your shot protects others? Look at it like this. Once you get sick, you essentially become a much watered-down Johnny. If you encounter someone and happen to pass them a dose, it will be much weaker than the one Johnny hit you with. Again, there is no flat guarantee, but the numbers are even less favourable for serious infection. So me getting my vaccination means not only do I have less of a chance of getting sick, but it also means that if the worst does happen, I will be less of a risk to those around me. The unvaccinated around me will get more benefit from this than the vaccinated do, of course.

Now, as for the financial compensation thing I brought up? Interestingly, the Hippocratic oath that health professionals must swear states, in part, "First, do no harm", and such has been the basis for countless lawsuits over the years. When a doctor essentially makes a mistake, or makes a sub-optimal choice (personal or otherwise) that does you direct harm, they can face discipline and can be held legally accountable for it, just as any other profession can but with an even higher burden of proof since medical personnel are considered an essential service. Whether or not a doctor wears the right sort of scrubs, or brushes their teeth regularly, is of no consequence to treatment. But whether or not a medical worker is protected against common illnesses can and does have a measurable impact on my care. It's not any different from folks in retirement residences having to be tested for TB or having to get the flu shot; doing these things is considered reasonable, since residents who are compromised could get sick and maybe die if infected. Now obviously, even with precautions it's possible for something bad to happen, and I think most people understand that. However, there's a valid concern of whether or not the person in charge of someone's medical safety took all reasonable precautions to ensure it. Vaccinations are, in most cases, considered reasonable precautions, because as outlined above, they do help, they do work to mitigate the risk of serious illness without jeopardizing in a large way the health of the person getting vaccinated. As I've said before, and will undoubtedly say again, numbers just don't lie.

unfortunate fact, somewhat did not recover from the virus, they thought he did, so, they gave him the vaccine, that just made the virus through strong to come back, and then he passed away about 2 weeks later, or maybe 2 days later, i'm not sure i forgot

I am going to try a slightly simplified explanation here, not because I think you're stupid (I absolutely do not think this) but because it may help explain how this works. If it feels like I'm stating the obvious at any point, I apologize; I'm trying to walk you (and anyone else reading this) through the steps one at a time.

When you're sick with a virus, you shed live copies of that virus. For some infections, it comes out in your poop or your blood or whatever. For others, like Covid, it comes out in respiratory droplets (mostly when you cough, sneeze or spit). Speaking, singing and shouting can also spread these particles, however.
Some viruses are pretty tough to catch, either because they die quickly or because they have to follow a certain route to get into your body. Some viruses, however, often those which spread via respiratory droplets, can sometimes be really, really easy to catch.
Generally speaking, the sicker you are, the heavier your symptoms are, and the more you will shed viral particles that can infect other people. If you have no symptoms, you can still shed viral particles though; my understanding is that asymptomatic people generally tend to shed less, but they also might be less careful as well, leading to more transmission by accident.
When you get sick with something, your body tries to fight it off. In doing so, it creates antibodies, which are like a specialized task force intent on protecting you from a specific infection.
The problem with Covid-19 is that until two years ago or thereabouts, we've never really seen a disease like this, so we don't have Covid antibodies floating around in our system the way we do for other, more common viruses. Humans are really used to things like cold and flu, because even though both diseases can mutate, neither seems to do so in a way that freaks out our immune system. Our immune systems are sort of always on guard for cold and flu, so when it detects them it fights them off. The bigger the dose we receive, the harder it is to fight off.
However, Covid doesn't enjoy this status. Our body takes a bit longer to recognize that the thing that's suddenly invading it is, in fact, hostile. The body will still trigger this immune response on its own (this is why some unvaccinated people can get better without any help), but the slower response time, and the fairly unique qualities of Covid-19, make this a bit dangerous.
What the vaccine does is essentially give our bodies a memo that tells it what to expect, giving it an early warning system. It doesn't infect us with live, crippled virus, the way some vaccines do. Instead, it tells our immune system to be on guard for specific sorts of proteins which signal a Covid-19 infection, which speeds up and strengthens the immune response.
As time passes, humankind in general will become more used to Covid-19, and herd immunity (i.e., the point where most people have antibodies floating around, either from vaccines or from at least one prior infection) will occur. The reason that we needed vaccines in the first place was because the mortality rate of Covid-19, while not super scary, was still considerably higher than other comparable viruses floating around. If we had left this alone and just sort of let it run its natural course, millions more would have died.
It's also important to point out here that viruses tend to mutate most readily the longer they exist while under attack. A weak immune response (i.e., a person gets sick and is taking awhile to get well) offers the best chance of viral mutation, and here again we come back to vaccinated people. They usually have a stronger immune response, so they give the virus a shorter window in which it can mutate. Mutations occur all the time, and most of them are completely harmless and pointless. However, the reason we keep seeing new variants is because this virus is still infecting enough people for enough time that eventually it was going to throw a mutation that was an improvement (from the virus's point of view) over its last iteration.

So let's summarize.

1. When you get sick with a virus, you shed that virus for awhile. You can make other people sick. This is how viruses flourish in the first place. The less protected you are (either through natural immunity or through vaccination of some kind), the more viral particles you'll shed. Wearing a mask blocks some of these particles from spreading to the environment around you, but it's not perfect. Same goes for physical distancing.
2. If you have antibodies in your system, you will generally fight the virus better, which means you'll get better more quickly and will shed fewer particles for others to potentially catch. It also means that you're providing the virus a shorter window in which it might mutate into something more dangerous.
3. The Covid-19 vaccine teaches our immune system to create some antibodies specific to this virus without actually giving us the virus itself. These are antibodies we would not have had without catching the virus otherwise. Unlike cold and flu, they aren't already in your body. Your body has to recognize a threat before it knows how to deal with it.
4. Since the virus itself is far more likely to kill a person than the vaccine will, and since both catching Covid and getting vaccinated provide similar protection, it's generally believed in most reputable scientific circles that getting vaccinated is the safer option.
5. Being vaccinated not only means that your own immune system is better prepared to protect you, it also means that you, as a carrier, are less likely to pass infective viral particles to other people.

All that being said, I do want to point out that Omicron is a mutation that has managed to be considerably more contagious than other forms. If vaccine efficacy was at, say, 93-95% for Delta and other earlier variants, it's closer to 75-80% for Omicron. that's the nature of viruses like this though, unfortunately. Scientists are hopeful that Omicron is an endpoint, since the virus actually doesn't do best if it kills you quickly or horribly. It does best by being communicable, and that's where Omicron is at (higher transmission, lower symptoms overall).

Do you still have questions? I hope I've explained this to your satisfaction.

The Pfizar and Moderna vaccines are not actually a long-term solution. Ideally, what we're after is the sort of vaccine that the army is working on at Walter Reid. Something that's customizable and can fight off a lot of coronaviruses at once. The current vaccines are a stopgap; they work, they're far better than hopes and prayers, but they're not perfect and they don't do as well when newer variants pop up.
