I am obviously very sorry to learn of your experience but it seems you have been incredibly unlucky. Whilst side effects exist for the Covid vaccines, as they do for all vaccines, the benefits outweigh them by huge margins. It took me a while to find any evidence that your condition might be the result of such a vaccination but I did find this:-

2 reported cases! Was yours one of them?

I hope you manage your condition as well as possible, that you continue to enjoy life and don’t become too cynical because of your very unusual bad luck.

I will go on having every booster recommended on the basis that at my age I am much more likely to suffer from another Covid infection by a new variant than I am to suffer the hard luck you have.

This is a serious point which needs to be addressed before it undermines confidence in scientific studies. I can understand why magazines like Nature focus on reports which strengthen the general awareness of the most important issue facing mankind but if it is done in a way which gives oxygen to sceptics then this has the potential to backfire.

The author is not saying that climate change isn’t important or not contributing, only that other issues need also to be kept in the discussion so that the whole can be seen in their context.

Could have told you this 3 years ago but it was "covid conspiracy" at the time or "anti vax" propaganda

It's not just science.

Back in the early days of the Blair government my friend who is a professor was invited along with others to a meeting at 10 Downing street to discuss inner city problems especially white children something she is a bit of an expert on.

At the meeting she knew many of the other guests and their opinions as it's a small (academic) world.

Blair's people said they wanted to listen but it became very clear that they had already made up their mind about policy and were just looking for a group of experts to rubber stamp it.

Much to my friend's disgust as they went around the room most of them were falling over themselves to suck up in the hope of getting jobs, funding and prestigious advisory roles even though she knew that they didn't agree with the policy.

She was one of the few who spoke her mind and disagreed, she was never invited back again whilst others prospered.

Of course this is a personal story and it's not about Labour as such. Many so called experts from all areas get sucked into the money and power of government in return for abandoning their principles, human nature of course. It does means the public should always have a healthy skepticism when The Blob says this is the right and only solution.

One more point

Is this a surprise?

Who though thinks it’s actually better to catch Covid, with all the associated risks, just to gain immunity from severe disease from a subsequent infection? Pretty daft idea that when you can avoid those risks by getting vaccinated.

If you read past the headline that’s exactly what the article says:-

“Still, experts stress that vaccination is the preferable route to immunity, given the risks of Covid, particularly in unvaccinated people.

“The problem of saying ‘I’m gonna get infected to get immunity’ is you might be one of those people that end up in the hospital or die,” Murray said. “Why would you take the risk when you can get immunity through vaccination quite safely?”

Since the ONS say over 44m people in the country have already had the virus it's also pretty daft to suggest anyone needs to deliberately catch it.
