The thing about a report like this is you could just as easily have gotten an asymptomatic COVID infection at some point and now be experiencing long COVID rather than symptoms as a result of the vaccine itself.

We have a person in the office who is now dead set against having any more vaccines because her blood pressure has increased a lot recently and she's positive its vaccine-related. But that seems fairly unlikely, plus she has been someone who after a few vaccines started claiming she'd had doctors tell her that COVID wasn't that bad, so she's traveled a ton compared to almost everyone else in the office, which to my mind makes it much more likely she got an asymptomatic version and now is suffering after-effects of that.

But then again, I'm not medical professional either. This is just me pointing out that correlation is not causation.
