A vaccine booster puts me out for a day with chills and a mild fever (Advil helps!) so I really would prefer not to find out what an actual infection does.
The vaccine gave me, at worst, a sore arm for a couple days. The actual infection knocked me completely out for 3 days. I had enough energy to microwave and eat food a couple times a day, and sleep.
Yeah, my infection was 4-5 months after the last booster too, so there’s even a chance I still had a little bit of protection going in. No long term effects thankfully, though exercise was really rough for a month or two afterwards, which really worried me.
I had COVID very early on. It had me coughing enough I started coughing up blood. It took over a year for the chest pains to clear. The vaccine barely felt like a speed bump, by comparison.
My second case of COVID was like very mild flu. Enough to notice (and so test for) but didn’t really take me out. (Yes, I still quarantined despite that)

Yeah, so by extrapolation, the actual infection would cook my brain. Good safety tip.

Same. Then covid got me. Was sick for a week but had the worst shortness of breath that finally got better after a year of inhalers.
On the other hand, my friends felt like it was just a bad cold. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
