.......171 people out of 450 people said condition improved. What did the other 279 people say?
I was unvaccinated, had CV19, and 2.5 months after recovering received my first dose of Pfizer and five days after that first dose started to experience Long Covid symptoms of chest pressure, mild pain, fatigue, shortness of breath after low physical activity and more severe symptoms and longer lasting after strenuous activity. That started in August and even today, late March of the following year I have these symptoms.
I'm not going to recommend the vaccine to those of us that have had and survived the CV19 until I see even more sets of data and studies that I can trust. It is hard to trust any data at this point. I can only trust my experience(s) and experience of others that I know and trust.

As you know anecdotal evidence is only the beginning of research. Researchers are now examining the relationship of getting vaccinated after COVID infection.
