Update on my Jan 4th 2023 posting:
I'm still alive. I was pessimistic about my prospects when the anemia became almost totally debilitating and I could barely take care of myself. Attaching photos of bruising, June of 2022; bruising had been worse prior to the photos. Spring 2023 Benign Hematology specialist couldn't determine a cause but prescribed a series of phlebotomies to reduce my iron levels which were high despite the anemia. That seemed to help with at least some of the symptoms. Bruising has stopped, anemia has reduced and I have visits for bloodwork every couple months to monitor it now. I'm being extra careful with my diet, vitamins, minerals, exercise, that seems to have contributed to having more energy.
I mentioned to 3 doctors my suspicion that the bruising and anemia were vaccine related but the hematologists didn't seem to want to discuss it, even when I had printouts of articles of similar cases, FYI. It felt like they had "orders" to not discuss such possibilities. Just sayin'. Not surprisingly I will NOT be getting any more boosters.

Addendum: As far as I know, I did NOT have Covid prior to having the bruising and anemia in June of 2022, just the 2 vaccinations and 2 boosters. I had a mild case of Covid October of 2022 confirmed with a home test kit.
