Your experiences are about what I had expected. Some neighbors have been urging me to scheme some way to get a vaccine, but until recently it seemed unethically early. The ethics of Germany's (and the EU's) Covid response are what bother me. The models other countries are following suggest giving everyone the same priority to get vaccinated, so soon, will result in many preventable deaths, but perhaps there are other factors I do not know about that are more important.

Recently I got on a couple promising waiting lists for unwanted AZ doses, but only discovered them by chance. Public health should not be a lottery or worse.
Muttley Snickers:
At this point in time I have no interest at all in getting the vaccine due to existing and ongoing medical conditions, and I don't appreciate the conflicting and misguided information given by my treating specialists either. I do however appreciate that everybody's circumstances and responsibilities are different so the individual has to decide what is best for themselves, their family and also their community.
dietert1:
Another psychological problem i had myself: Nowadays sponsors are everywhere (even in this forum) and we are busy keeping people away with their offers. As a freelancer who is used to pay for each and everything i felt a bit lost to accept the vaccine as a present. You always wonder: Who is the sponsor? Are they hiding their intentions?
In the end i assume the government is doing it because lockdowns cause huge damage and they want to stop that. I decided to join this effort and i want the protection, of course.
We may safely assume that all those critical voices have their sponsors, too.

Regards, Dieter

Knowing Dave, if he wanted us to know that, he'd make a 30 minute video and "Bob's your uncle", eh Dave?  ;)

You'll have to forever continue to be curious.
I will not virtue signal my medical status, I refuse to be part of the social media circus on this.
