Sorry. Also, apparently she got the covid vaccine. She just uses a lot of "I have a lot of questions about the vaccine industry" type rhetoric that makes her popular among anti-vax circles. She's not a strict anti-vaxxer, just kinda weird about the whole situation and generally doesn't get vaccines most of the time.
I also think that it's a very tricky situation. Because a lot of people are morons. If you talk about negative side effects, people will be like "Oh no, I'm not taking a 1 in 100,000,000,000,000 risk. I'd rather get measles!" but if you don't talk enough about negative side effects, there's some sort of conspiracy cover up.
I don't think she's lying about the severity of her side effects, but the article has a slight air of "doctors are LYING about side effects, if this happened to me, this must be happening SUPER OFTEN to A LOT OF PEOPLE" which i don't think is the right message to be putting out either. Some of that might be because of bias around her other stances.
But it is still an anecdote, from Fox News. I feel like theres probably a better source, even for the same story.
