That the more you’ve reacted to the vaccine the worse you would’ve had covid?

I’ve had the 3 jabs and had some pretty crap side effects, I remember reading somewhere (cannot for the life of me think where!) that this means covid would’ve been worse for me if I had caught it?

Or is that just complete codswallop and I’m just an unlucky vaxxer?

I hope this makes sense, I’ve had a glass of wine Wine Grin

Hmm… thinking back, I may have read it on Twitter. I do try to follow reputable people but it could’ve easily been nonsense!

I hope everyone with covid is doing well and wish you a speedy recovery!

Zero reaction to all 3 vaccines but hospitalised with covid (after 2 )

I’ve heard it said that you are more likely to react to the vaccines if you previously had covid.
I suspect I had covid before testing was available, (but I can’t be certain)
I reacted to both vaccines, totally knocked me for six!

The people I know who did have reactions also had covid beforehand.
Everyone else I know seems to have escaped side effects (no known covid)

So don’t know if there’s any truth to that theory.

My view i think it depends on type ofbad reaction to vaccination.
For example sore arm and tired out - likely not reflective of covid outcome.

Develop mycarditis - highly likely you would have had heart issues in unvaccinated, clots ditto
