Taking a Jab or Two – A Quantified Self Perspective on the Side-Effects of the BioNTech-Pfizer-Fosun Covid Vaccine

It is an open secret that I am somewhat of a quantified self nut. For many years, I measure a lot of data using different wearables and devices. Currently, I wear a Garmin Fenix 6 Smartwatch, and in addition, I recently got an Oura Smart Ring. Health wearables have come a long way, and we are now at a point where they can provide valuable insights into our bodies and actionable advice to improve our health, not just gamified step challenges.

Recently my wife and I got the Comirnaty BioNTech - Pfizer - Fosun COVID Vaccine. Time to put our health wearables to a test and see what they recorded.
