To be injected or not injected: the covid-19 vaccine part II

However, I am considering whether to get the Pfizer-BioNTech covid-19 vaccine.

I suppose if I (can) get it, it's better than nothing, even if I have bad side-effects and/or am bedridden because of it; and the fact the experts know fuck all about it. Even though I am not a priority group and they should be done first and children, which I define as under the teenage age set, depending on the country. 

It will be interesting to see how I feel on a guilt-level about taking it knowing there are almost certainly people here who are categorized as one or more priority groups, not to mention the rest of the World. Here, I think pretty much anyone can take it except children; and I can't control the other governments in the World and all the other strings that determine accessibility to a covid-19 vaccine, if it is even available, because it isn't in the entire World of course. Am I rationalizing?

Any covid-19 vaccine won't help travel and having life like it was pre-pandemic, please read 'To be injected or not injected: the covid-19 vaccine part I', https://holandt.blogspot.com/2021/04/to-be-injected-or-not-injected-covid-19.html. For one, I think I'll ignore CDC's advice and still take precautions if I get the Pfizer-BioNTech.

More importantly, the government here have a deadline in the sense it will be harder to be injected with Pfizer-BioNTech so that is another factor, and it seems Pfizer-BioNTech will be recognized by many of the places I would like the choice to visit if I ever do and the places I have plans to visit.

By the time I have to decide because of the deadline, maybe I'll feel comfortable enough with the information available on the vaccines to actually have it shot into my arm muscle.
