15. I still feel absolutely zero discomfort.

My arm isn't tender. No headache, which understand is another reported Pfizer after effect.

I have started to wonder about something. If someone has been an asymptomatic carrier, perhaps they will have the same "non" reaction to the vaccine.

There's a high chance I might be one of those. Back when it first hit, my brother actually contracted Covid-19. He was at my house, several times when he was in the highly contagious stage. I sailed through last Winter with just one VERY mild head cold. So, did I catch Covid but remain asymptomatic? I guess I'll never know. I do know that I've never had the flu, or if I have, again, I was asymptomatic.

Anyway, that's my own little theory, based on nothing scientific, about why some people have no vaccination side effects, and some have them in varying degrees from mild to awful. When my brother got the Moderna vaccine, he spent 36 hours suffering the same way he did when he had active Covid.
