Anecdotal, but I got jabbed 4 or 5 times with the mRNA vaccine and got COVID once.
The jabs usually meant that evening and next day I had a splitting headache, extremely uncomfortable lymph node under the armpit of the side I got the jab, and just general tiredness. But 24 hours later it was good and I was fine.
With COVID, I was bedridden for 3 Days. Fevers, splitting headache (worse than the jabs), diarrhea, even vomited once. Even when I got better enough to get out of bed, I had an uncontrollable dry cough that lasted for weeks.
So yes, the jabs weren’t fun, but they were predictable and ended quickly. The disease itself was much worse for me and had a tendency to linger.
Back when my friends were getting our first COVID jabs, we’d congratulate each other on “a strong immune response” whenever we’d feel crappy afterwards.
