I have a friend who caught COVID right when vaccinations started to become available, and he went through a terrible spell. Not just directly at the time, but afterwards as well. Well, after recovering he wanted to go get vaccinated because he does transport and wanted to able to eat at restaurants, and because he felt he should be vaccinated in order to protect himself. His doctor actually advised against vaccination for a long time, which of course 100% affected his life because of all the braindead restrictions over not being able to eat at a restaurant. Eventually when he did get vaccinated based on what his doctor said, it floored him again for another 2 weeks.

His doctor told him this past year that if he had known what he knows now about natural immunity, he would have advised against vaccination for the full 6 months after infection. But he also was being pressured and told vaccinate at all costs.

Pretty ridiculous if you think back now on how the entire process was a giant coercion to force people to vaccinate, and even when it became evident that vaccination was not reducing spread, 20k fans could pack into an arena to watch a hockey game, but an unvaccinated person couldn't eat at a restaurant where there were gathering restrictions.

Also came to a point people would get $100 to get the jab. Crazy times last few years
