I took the vaccine. My house is next to my parents so I spend a lot of time with them. My job has me working with a lot of people. I didn't take it because of any fear I have, I took it to protect my parents. After the shot I felt a slight tingle in my arm, with soreness in the injection spot for about a day. No other symptoms. My parents also received it. I didn't do it for me, I did it for them.
Defense in depth. A vaccine does not have to be 100% effective on an individual level to be 100% effective in eradicating a disease, as long as it reduces the transmission rate below 1.
Supposedly most/all of the currently available SARS-Cov-2 vaccines are ineffective in preventing transmission, but are primarily used to minimize symptoms. If someone has more detailed information on which ones are intended for symptom minimization and which are intended for reduction in transmission feel free to share, but I have no intention of taking it myself and don't really need any further information to dissuade most of those I care about from avoiding the vaccines than pointing out the rushed approval process for this vaccine and that the nearest relative of this Virus (SARS-COV-1, or just SARS) hasn't had a vaccine developed yet despite having been around far longer.
I can appreciate your sentiments there, but all the "official" lines seem to say that you wasted your time. After all (around here at least) even if you get the vaccine you still need to mask, you still need to socially distance, etc, etc. So, the people demanding you get the vaccine are saying the vaccine doesn't actually stop you from spreading it something isn't quite right.

No other immediately observable symptoms.
