I was ok with getting the first dose of Pfizer (although I don’t really trust anything to do with COVID 100%, too much conflicting info on most aspects, and it can’t be denied that by definition the long the term effects of the vaccines is not 100% known).
But the second one makes me a little nervous for some reason. I think partly because I’ve known some people with some side effects after the second. And also because it seems like the 2 dose regimen in the trials was kind of a guess, necessary because of the time pressures.
And because of those pressures, I’d think there was more incentive to overdo it rather than underdo it.
And also it seems like evidence is mounting that Pfizer is very effective after one dose. Likely more effective than the 1 dose J&J.
E.g.,

So it’s starting to feel like 2 doses is overdoing it a bit.
I’m not in any at risk category. I’m retired and lucky enough to not have to be around other humans much.
What’s the board wisdom on that?
