A few hours after I received my first COVID shot, I started to feel very lightheaded and shaky around 2 in the afternoon. I finished my work and went home at 4pm. My side effects were gradually getting worse fast. I was getting chills, my eyes burned like they were on fire, I had a pounding headache, and I was shaking uncontrollably. Later that night around 8pm, my wife brought me to the ER because she thought I was dying. She dragged me into the ER and told them what was going on. They ran some tests on me, told me "This is normal for the first shot. You do not have COVID, I promise." I sat in wheelchair with a blanket in the waiting room for approximately 4-6 hours. At this point everything kept getting worse. It was very hard to breathe, I couldn't speak to ask for help, I couldn't move, and I was shivering so much that I got a chip in my front tooth, and my jaw was on fire. Eventually I got hooked up to some machine where they tested the oxygen level in my blood (I think that's what they were doing), and then they told me I was good to go home. That I would be fine in the morning. I still could not control my movements, I was sweating and shivering, I really thought I was going to die that night. The weekend went by and by Monday I was feeling a little bit better, but not much. I called the base clinic and told them that I wanted to get tested and seen, as I thought I just had a severe reaction to the vaccine. I drove on Monday morning and took a COVID test and I was told that I had COVID. Again, I had gone this whole time never contracting COVID, until the day I received the shot.
None. Never had COVID until the day I received the first dose on 30 July 2021 (mandatory for military personnel).

I don't recall the tests they gave me at the ER on the night of 30 July, but they determined that I was fine. I took a COVID test on Monday, 2 August at 0800 in the morning.
