These symptoms should be expected because the body is exposed to some components of the virus, which activate the body's immune reaction the same way the Covid virus does. The only difference is that symptoms from the vaccination will resolve within a few days without medical intervention or long-term implications. These symptoms are an indication that the vaccine is working.

No it doesn't.
I never tire to repeat that the vaccine is not a physical barrier.
What are the chances that you'd have ended up in ICU had you not been vaccinated?

A colleague in the ministry tried to secure a bed for his dad in ICU for three days until vacancies came with deaths. A good thing nobody is denying the existence of the virus as they used to before.

There’re places where politicians (governors) have ICU beds on standby in case they fall ill.

Some ICUs built as a precondition for lifting the lockdown in July last year have never been operationalized.

In the county I am in medical oxygen is yet to be refilled, the hospital designated for Covid19 patients bearing the brunt, neighbouring counties are experiencing an influx of patients.
