>I think that's what bothered me most: I did my part, I tried to protect society by getting a shot, but when confronted with negative fall-out I had to fight for a diagnosis and was pretty much laughed out of the room for suggesting a relation to the booster. I don't think I've processed this yet. I recently came to believe that it's not accurate to model random humans as reflections of self. Situations like this make much more sense if you think the humans to be not much more but nodes of some greater societal 'meme' (as in infectious idea/ideology). Almost everyone is such a node in almost every respect. Better to drop the belief that you're operating in a world of copies of yourself, and rather embrace the model that you're operating in a world of memes, the nodes of which the people around you are. At least when it comes to explaining behavior which you have trouble understanding.
