And I only went with the Janssen finally because my brother had zero impact from it whereas some of my cousins got sick from the Pfizer and Moderna.

Anecdotally, it seems like a crapshoot which vaccines/doses cause which reactions. Across all the various permutations and combinations people I know have had, I haven't noticed any clear trend in the reactions aside from the first shot generally being the mildest (and even then, one of my coworkers started with A-Z and that was his worst dose).

It's variable enough that a sample size like yours doesn't mean much of anything (nor mine, except to conclude that it's too variable to identify trends from anecdotal evidence). It's understandable that you'd follow that rationale, since humans are innately pretty bad at risk analysis and tend to place way too much value on personal experiences/close anecdotes, but it's really not a sensible way to make decisions like this.

A lot of those things are politically driven, so I take it with a grain of salt.

I think it's more that you decided from day one that Janssen was your favourite and have been aggressively championing it and rejecting any criticisms ever since. Remember how insistent you were that the early evidence of blood clots must have been from that one instance of cross-contamination with A-Z, despite there not being a shred of proof of that being the reason (in a situation that would have generated pretty conclusive proof, since those monitoring side effects would have noticed if every single Janssen vaccine that caused blood clots came from the contaminated lots)?

I'm not sure why you've been cheerleading so hard for it, but the reality is that Janssen is a bottom-tier option by pretty much every metric except ease of storage, a reality that's only gotten worse with Omicron.
