I've caught COVID probably 6 times since the outbreak (and I'm vaccinated, 3 shots), each one is worse than the previous one. And since the outbreak, I've been experiencing debilitating brain fog and fatigue and depression among others. Most of times at work I'm looking at colleagues right in the eye and seemingly listening intently while they're talking but I'm not catching a word of it, I'm just wandering somewhere else or thinking about my bed at home.

  Why do you focus on the vaccine and not the novel, highly virulent virus which has killed tens of millions and disabled hundreds of millions? What makes it more likel for you that the vaccine causes this and not the virus?

    Well, there's also the anecdotal problem here of someone having taken all the proper vaccine steps here, and still getting multiple bouts of increasingly severe COVID. Doesn't peak so well of the vaccines and all the insistence they received.

      > Doesn't peak so well of the vaccines and all the insistence they received. It's one anecdote, the vaccines were never touted as 100% effective, statistically some people would not have the complete benefits, some others would have adverse reactions. That's how it works, that's how it was talked about. People were encouraged to take it because statistically it was proven to be effective, and studies done post-facto confirmed it. Is it 100% effective? No, absolutely not, no medicine is and I have no idea why people still create this straw man...

      I read it as the parent poster is addressing a likely comment asking if they had not taken the Covid vaccine. They're not blaming the vaccines, as you seem to be implying. The Covid vaccines developed were effective and highly recommended for very good reasons. No one ever claimed that they would be symptom-free for all people.

    Funny, I read it as "I've caught COVID even though I was fully vaccinated, and these problems stemmed from COVID" rather than "vaccines caused these symptoms!!1!eleven!".

    logically speaking, 3 shots might have caused the post COVID effect

  I'm vaccinated, 5 shots. I had COVID once, it was very mild. I'm fine.
