Not in your imagination. It's a pseudo-illness because there isn't a virus replicating. There is a vaccine system making your immune system react as if there was.

FWIW - I think these doses are overpowered. The minimum dose required to produce an immune response is ~1% of the dose administered. When I administered my own DNA vax to myself, the next morning at 4 AM my shoulder was on fire, and I had a fever and chills for the morning. That dose was ~250 micrograms of DNA. So, I decided that nobody should get more than half that dose. It would be perfectly fine for protection.
Thanks for the polite response. What I have been trying to convey is that I had a conspicuously negative physical reaction to the Pfizer vaccine. Everybody else's mileage may -- and apparently has -- varied.
I listen to these things. A lot more than most scientists. I think about them. I got in serious bad odor in grad school because I corresponded with Wakefield. I was really surprised to find out that professors assumed (some of them) that I was a closet antivaxxer in their midst. I'll talk to anyone. That doesn't mean I will agree with them. And if I think they are seriously wrong, I'll make no bones about it.
I felt really under the weather for a day on the second one. Pretty useless at work. I suspect it helps to know what the mechanism is, and what's going on. First Pfizer dose, I powered through, ignoring the lousiness and soreness.
I believe I first learned about how vaccines work (in general) in 7th grade biology. Did these people not pass 7th grade, or what happened?
Also shocking is the number of people who assume that breakthrough Covid cases can't happen and that it's a scandal when they find out about some. I mean, the only thing you ever read in the news is about how these vaccines are 90% (or whatever) effective... what do these people think happened to the other 10%?

Of course you had a negative reaction. Do you understand the concept behind vaccines?
