... they don't seem to be as bad this time: I'm "fuzzy", tired, and my joints hurt (knees, elbows and spine) but I'm not holed up in bed feeling like death warmed over.
Oh, and the jab site is hot, red, and aches a bit - but not as bad as jab 1.
That's OK - way better than COVID itself or the side effects of the first one. Sort of "a weak cold" without the sniffles.

most of the united states is not wearing a mask anymore (if you are vaccinated, but no one is checking).
I don't wear a mask anymore unless at the doctors office (still required).
It has been almost 2 months since my 2nd vaccine shot. feeling fine.
you should be feeling fine soon.

I wish the tracking devices theory was real - it would mean there are batteries out there that last a good long time!

Not necessarily. What do you think the upcoming recommended booster shots are gonna be for...?

I should be able to schedule my 2nd AZ shot this week.

I'm no virologist, and I'm sure this has been brought up before, but it's practically impossible to find a final, authoritative answer at this point, so I'll ask you directly since you have first-hand experience and probably had some discussions with qualified people on this very topic:
If you had Covid, you've now built up the antibodies for it, aka the best immunization available, custom-built just for you. What is the reasoning then behind getting the shot?
(and I'm not trying to turn this into a political discussion...just curious, given how I was taught viruses work)

Simply because nobody knows how long "I've had it" immunity lasts!
Heck, we have no idea how long the vaccine immunity lasts yet - so better safe than (very, very) sorry.
I wouldn't want it again, and I would feel terrible if I got it symptomlessly and gave it to others.

Thus my reason for asking. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, no?
If that's your stance despite having had it already - then that speaks rather favorably. I appreciate your reporting your first-hand experience.

It's claimed the vaccines help protect against variants. Don't think anyone knows if you survive Coved-19 if you're then better able to deal with the variants. And some people get re-infected; would the vaccine have helped their case? Maybe. If you have been vaccinated and still get sick, then the symptoms are milder and chances of death are practically zero.

My understanding of the vaccine is that it does not prevent you from getting sick, but is "supposed" to prevent you from becoming hospitalized and dying, as you mentioned.

Yes; when they say it is "92% effective", there's an 8% chance you will still "come down with" the virus even though vaccinated (but less so).

Look at it like training, the more you train the better you get at it.
First jab will teach your immune system how to fight it, the second tells it that this will happen again and make sure it has the guard up in the future.
So the first shot might not make you immune against Covid, but the second most probably will. (unless you have some sort of immune deficiency aka very old)
The first shot is most probably enough to keep the infection short and manageable.

So, why blame the vaccine? What qualified you to rule out other problems, like age?
