If I'm urged to live as if I haven't been vaccinated and I can still transmit the virus then I don't see a reason why I would.
In the United States, you're not being urged to live as if you haven't been vaccinated. If you've been fully vaccinated, you mostly get to go back to normal and not wear masks. If you haven't been vaccinated, you have to wear masks and socially distance.

We also know that if you've been vaccinated, you're highly unlikely to contract the virus and spread it.

The side effects are worth the benefits of getting vaccinated. Please get the second dose when it's time to do so. The side effects might be less severe the second time if they were already pretty bad the first time.

I'm not getting a vaccine. Things aren't going well for people in Germany, who won't let the government push the poison in their veins, since you're getting treated like a second class citizen.
I'm fortunate to have enough capital to move to almost any country in this world. If things won't get better here, we're going to move to Sweden (at least short-term). Right now the debate to forcefully vaccine kids is hot right now. If that's gonna get greenlit, we're gone. Not gonna let the government poison my kids. Few million Euro taxes less every year, good job, Germany.

UPDATE 29/05/2021

Beside my early doubts about vaccines, my 60yo parents both got Pfizer vaccine yesterday, they only got mild symptons of sneezes or coughs, but they are fine. Recently EU has introduced the Green pass Bill, basically allows those 1-2 shot vaccinated people benefit to travel freely within EU borders, no more mask restriction and allowed to participate pubblic event like wedding, conventions or most importantly parties!

I'm definitely getting vaccinated and can't wait to get cruise this summer!

Imagine being a fucking idiot who refuses to wear a mask and/or refuses to get vaccinated.

Refusing to believe in science because "the magic man in the sky will keep me safe"...

i'd still get my vaccin (if everything gets done as planned i'm up for next month here, and yes i'd even go for the AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria) or Janssen.
on 8,5 milion vaccinated people in my country there were only 16 people (13 females, 3 males) with trombose.
only 2 people died suspicious in the same timeline.
seriously that's not something shocking at all.
i'm pretty sure that there are more people dying on painkillers. you wouldn't pass one of those when needed,
without vaccins the killing rate of covid-19 is far worse and i've seen a few around me pass away or getting at the IC in the hospitals.
i'd rather die as a human then like a mouse.

Unfortunately, I see three separate doctors regularly (cancer). Not a one of them recommended I get vaccinated. Matter of fact, my overseeing neurologist said he hasn't gotten it himself because he's leery of it, since it seems to have been put out there fairly quickly. For me, though, the bottom line is what my work requires of me to return from leave. If they say it's necessary, I'm fine with it. But I'm not rushing out to get it either, especially without the endorsement of my physicians. But I'm not anti-vaccine either. Everyone, I feel, should be able to make the determination for themselves.
I was saying that earlier in this thread to a reply to I think it was @GhostLatte that the vaccine isn't FDA approved. It was put out too fast under emergency orders which can be revoked at any time. And that we shouldn't shame people who are weary of the vaccine because of that.

There can be other effects we don't know about yet. I still took it because I don't care if something negative happens too me, for me it's a oh well situation.

I didnt get for one and half year and if more people get vaccinated the chances of me getting should be even lower right? so I will not take it.

if you got vaccinated .... thank you for protecting me lol. I protected myself long enough and I am not getting it.

I agree with the sentiment that people should not be pushing others to take the vaccine. Nobody has presented credentials in doing so.

That being said, I wish you would value your life more. You seem to value others more than yourself, which is better than doing the contrary--but still not ideal.

The vaccines are not "poison."

Technically vaccines have been considered a weak "poison" that teaches your body to overcome its basic properties. The current "vaccine" reprograms DNA, which might be worse than the conventional idea of poison to some people. I fail to see your qualifications.

Been vaccinated (Pfizer) for a while now, never had any problems at all. And my girl got her 2nd shot (Moderna) a few days ago, she was a little sick for a day.

The current vaccine does not "reprogram your DNA."
