The worst pain you’ve experienced

Honestly I feel like breaking my wrist (which I did a few months prior) was not nearly as bad as my strep throat that turned into an ear infection at the same time basically.

Covid was like that for me back in July. Was actually in the hospital for 2 days due to extreme dehydration from just not being able to get a sip of water down. Also had diaherrea and vomiting, one time with blood in it. Blood pressure spiked at 179/116. I never got the booster, but did get both pfizer shots. Didn't prevent hospitalization or reduce symptom severity. And I was 22 with no physical health problems and still got an agonizing sore throat and a 102.5 fever (may have been higher before they measured it). Needed prescription pain and nausea medication and IV fluids, which all worked well.

Just jumping in here to say that it's impossible to know if it reduced symptom severity, because your getting the disease without having gotten the vaccine is a complete hypothetical that cannot be compared to reality.

But I did get the vaccine, just not more than 2 shots. Just because I wasn't on a ventilator doesn't mean they made it mild instead of severe.

I know. You were implying that having had the two shots did not reduce the severity of your symptoms. You have no way of knowing that. It's entirely possible that your COVID case would have been even more severe, had you not been vaccinated. It's also entirely possible that it wouldn't have. My point is that it's impossible to know.

Well they did make it sound like getting at least 2 doses would make your illness very mild and tolerable. As for how much worse it could have been there's no way to know, but given the "average severity" of a covid case even before the vaccine, I doubt my case was mild with the vaccine.
