FWIW, this kind of anecdotal approach is dangerous at best, and grossly misleading at worst.
I know a guy who dropped dead jogging. Does that mean jogging is unhealthy? Well it sure was for him. We all know of athletes who drop dead while playing sports, often finding an underlying condition they didn't know existed, like an enlarged heart.
It's a given that some will have bad reactions to any vaccine, and that has been going on since the first vaccines. The statistical truth is that it's such a small number of people compared to the benefit that it's still a good decision.
People die while in surgery a lot too. Does that mean you don't go get a needed surgery and hope that the clot doesn't move or that the condition just improves? No, you weigh the risks of the procedure against the risk of doing nothing.
Do that in this case and it's pretty clear what people need to do. A very small risk of adverse reactions from the vaccine compared to a much greater chance of long term damage or death from Covid. Mathematically this is a no-brainer.
