doesn't the vaccine give you covid? Like pretty sure when we all got the shot the first time we all got sick from it. I'm not anti vax and got mine...but still makes me wonder was the vax or covid the reason for the cognitive problems...

No. It is not a dead or live vaccine. It's an MRNA vaccine, which is completely different.

You also didn't technically get sick from the vaccine. Your immune system simply responded to what it was supposed to respond to.
