Well, this may discourage early adopters

[Some} COVID vaccine guinea pigs report an awful, painful reaction.

Some participants for leading COVID-19 vaccine trials have reported experiencing grueling side effects after receiving the shot such as high fever, body aches, headaches and exhaustion.

Five participants — three in Moderna’s study and two in Pfizer’s late-stage trials — said the uncomfortable side effects usually went away within a day, but some were surprised by how severe they were, CNBC reported.

“If this proves to work, people are going to have to toughen up,” one of the Moderna participants, a North Carolina woman in her 50s who declined to be identified, told the outlet.

“The first dose is no big deal. And then the second dose will definitely put you down for the day for sure. … You will need to take a day off after the second dose.”

Of course, this being COVID porn, you have to look to the underlying report to find that the trials involve “tens of thousands” of volunteers, but, being COVID porn, it’s the adverse reactions that will grab the headlines. And to be fair, I have no intention to use any COVID vaccine, for many reasons, until a few-million people have gone in line ahead of me.
