As someone who got Moderna, my side effects with the second dose consisted of a sore arm for the next day and feeling pretty tired for the next couple of days. Nothing very severe. Just to ease your mind a bit, hopefully.

Ok, to be clear here: that's not good, and it's 99% a money scam being run between the doctor and the pharmacy.Arkansas inmates prescribed animal parasite medicine to combat COVID-19

That being said, that headline is so dumb. Ivermectin is not a drug exclusively for animals, and a pharmacist is not going to give humans a horse dosage. You could just as accurately make a headline saying "Doctors Prescribe Crystal Meth Ingredients for Children" to describe pseudoephedrine.

Granted, this was not the now-approved Pfizer vaccine, but cases like this might be part of the reason why some are A) hesitant, and B) against mandates.
Let's suppose a country has two options:
Do not mandate, and then 100,000 people die.
Mandate, and then 100 people die from the vaccine that they were forced to take.
Is that an acceptable sacrifice to preserve the lives of the many? Are governments forced to play out a real-life trolley problem?
Yes. It sucks that there is a risk of lethal side effects with this vaccine. There is a risk of that with ANY vaccine. You know what has a higher risk of death or long-term complications? FUCKING COVID.BBC presenter Lisa Shaw died of AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine complications

For the record, between December 14, 2020 and July 19, 2021, VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Recording System) reported a total of 12,313 deaths in people who had received the COVID vaccine. Keep in mind, that's not even saying every one of those deaths was actually caused by the vaccine, but rather happened in close enough proximity to receiving the vaccine to warrant noting as a possible cause of death.
As of August 18th, 2021, there have been a total of 623,244 deaths due to COVID in the US alone.
I don't want to downplay the deaths caused by the vaccine. Any death is a tragedy. But to even try to claim that the incredibly low risk of having a lethal interaction with the vaccine justifies not getting it, and therefore risking the MUCH greater risk of catching the disease meant to protect you, a disease that is far more dangerous than the vaccine could ever be is just asinine.
