Would you prefer that your doctor didn't advise you according to the best available data on the benefits and risks of a given medical treatment?

In this case, it was an unnecessary procedure.

It's probably not a bad idea to book an appointment to investigate the possibility of an allergy or other exacerbating factor and/or see if anything can be done to treat your symptoms,

Possibly. Even though the breathing isn't as bad, I can barely move that arm, among other issues.

your personal experience doesn't change the conclusion that any sensible risk analysis would yield (that getting the booster is better than not).

I was never at risk, so it was a waste regardless. These days I work remotely, try to limit my contact, and have most things delivered. Ironically enough, the only three times I've had to leave the house so far this year are for are the fucking doctor appointment, the bloodwork proceeding it, and the booster. And all three of those experiences turned out badly and my health would've been better for not doing them.
