Sorry to hear that Rooh. :( Maybe ask your doctor if you should get a covid test jic you were incubating it before you were vaccinated. Side effects not happening until over 2 days afterwards seems a bit unusual.

Covid-19 has not been going for 10 years. Or are you predicting that things won't have changed 9 years from now?
Survival rate isn't everything, the most severely ill take a very long time to recover and some may never get back to their normal health state.. There is also the problem of long Covid which can affect people who didn't even need to go to hospital. One of the regular guests on a BBC programme has been left with heart problems. He is a doctor and caught the virus last year.
Covid 19 is NOT like the flu. It is more infectious and it can have devastating effects on the whole body not just the respiratory system.

It would greatly help - especially in developing nations - if the patents were waived in the context of the vaccination programme. Anything to make quick money out of a crisis; these companies are fully aware that their actions result in the pandemic lasting longer than it could do. Low on bank space? Click here .

In England we have had furlough schemes, mortgage breaks and grants to self employed people. Its true some people have fallen through the cracks and despite furlough companies have made people redundant but efforts have been made to keep people safe. That doesn't mean people haven't struggled because furlough only covers 80% of the wage but 80% is better than nothing. We also have the NHS in the UK which means no-one will lose their home to pay for medical bills.
Eventually we ( in the UK ) will all have to pay for the cost of the various schemes through higher taxes but that will be over a number of years.

As someone who's had it, I can confirm it's so much worse than any flu. I've also had swine flu.
