"The only con I see is that I might get "flu-like" symptoms for a few days and food won't taste or smell as good for a while."

Those reactions are very common, but tolerable. What worries me more are the far less frequent - but persistent - reports of blood clotting and other vascular issues. There's a history of stroke in my family (on my mother's side) and that spooks me. Right now, I think I'd rather take my chances with Covid-19 (which I might already have had last year) than take the shots.

The blood clotting issue is also a huge concern for me.

While my mother was pregnant with me, she suffered a Deep Vein Thrombosis in her leg, and the both of us almost died.

Her mother also had clotting issues, along with a few others in my family. For several weeks after I underwent a complete Hysterectomy, I had to wear compression stockings on my legs and give myself daily shots in my legs, because of my family’s history of clotting.

I don’t see any need for people with family histories like yours or mine to take a risk, just for an experimental vaccine for a virus with an incredibly high survival rate.
