re: Protection from A Previous Covid Infection is Similar to a Vaccination

I got the vaccine. Had the virus March of last year. Main reason I got the vaccine is because I have trips planned on the West Coast late this Summer and I have a feeling those states may require it, plus I’m tired of this mask crap. Anyway, both shots kicked my arse for 24 hours. Much worse immediate effects than the virus itself (shortness of breath was a problem for a week or two with the virus). But I suspect the severe reaction from the vaccine means my immune system was responding aggressively against any hint of the virus.
