So you're just getting the swab, then?
I won't get it. I say that because (based on current info) it doesn't kill the virus, doesn't help stop you from getting the virus (which, btw is the whole point of a vaccine) and doesn't stop you from passing it on. If it doesn't do anything, what's the point? Just to say I did?

My parents got their second shot yesterday. They are good. no side effects so far. They were told it would take about a week before the vaccine was fully effective. I think thats something a lot of people misunderstand about vaccines.
I don't have a problem with vaccines in general. I was in the military so I have been vaccinated against nearly everything. I have 3 issues with this. One being that I don't believe it will work. The second being because I am one of those who gets sick when I get the flu shot. I used to get it every year and got sick every year. I haven't had it in at least 20 years and haven't had more than a mild cold (definitely not the flu) in that time. The third is I don't trust the CDC. Just a few months ago they were saying we shouldn't even be wearing masks and now it's "take the vaccine or you'll die and also you're a terrible person". I don't think they know what the truth is. That coupled with the fainting nurse incident and the Bell's Palsy incidents, I'd rather take my chances. Especially when my chances are over 99%.A vaccine isn't supposed to kill the virus. It teaches the body how to kill it. So technically you still can get exposed to it, but the body now knows how to handle it. If you don't get it, you won't pass it on. So no, it's an invaluable part of getting rid of the virus in the US.
Is your problem with vaccines in general or this specific one?
In reply, to your first point, look at what is happening in Israel. They have it together with their vaccine and their serious cases are falling quickly. The science is sound.I don't have a problem with vaccines in general. I was in the military so I have been vaccinated against nearly everything. I have 3 issues with this.

The Karens and Dr Jenny McCarthey have gotten a third of the US to simply disbelieve all science unless it’s read on Facebook.
In other words, get the shot.Israel's deal to obtain early doses of vaccine in exchange for sharing massive public health data for vaccine studies is starting to pay off.
This suggests (not yet proven) that the vaccines do in fact cut transmission by reducing the viral load way, way down if you get infected after receiving the vaccine.
Vaccine reduces spread risk even before 2nd shot, Israeli study indicates
When people test COVID positive, viral loads are 4 times lower if they’re vaccinated, finds first-of-its-kind research; expert calls it ‘game-changer’ in pursuit of herd immunitywww.timesofisrael.com
Oh boy another one of these expertsI don't have a problem with vaccines in general. I was in the military so I have been vaccinated against nearly everything. I have 3 issues with this.
