One in four who had Pfizer Covid jabs experienced unintended immune response

It was based on a small sample of 20, so when they say they found no serious problems … that was among this small sample.
My understanding is that the mRNA vaccine resulted, in some cases, of the production of random proteins. Literally, random proteins. Many, perhaps most were shut down by the immune system, but others? That is not made clear.
I had 3 Pfizer Covid-19 shots. After each, I experienced a fever of 101-101.5 degrees F for 4 days and was very sick from the shot. At the time, I was told “this means the vaccine is working”. Could this have been due to this error in the Pfizer vaccine? They do not provide enough information for the public to understand this.
I was scheduled to get a 4th shot but had hepatitis and was too weak to visit the clinic for shot #4. I had planned to try again after recovery but a few weeks later, I had Covid, in spite of the 3 vaccinations that were claimed to be 95% effective at preventing infection (that was the claim at the time, since revised to say, only against serious disease).
I do not plan to get more Pfizer Covid vaccines; having had Covid-19, I presume I have a good level of B- and T-cell formed immunity (SARS-CoV-2 infection establishes a stable and age-independent CD8+ T cell response against a dominant nucleocapsid epitope using restricted T cell receptors | Nature Communications). If I were to take another Covid-19 vaccine, I would request Novovax, a conventional, non-mRNA vaccine and hope the side effects would be more like the side effects of the flu shot (mild). The Pfizer vaccine side effects were truly awful.
I am not anti-vax as I was in process of catching up on vaccinations during all this – with 14 vaccination shots since December 2019.
Shots I had during that time: 2 x Shingles, 5 x influenza (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023), 3 x hepatitis A+B, MMR, 3x Covid. Only 2 vaccines were given when I was a kid – polio and smallpox. I had measles, mumps and chicken pox as a kid but had never had rubella – the R in MMR, hence, an MMR shot as an adult. Pharmacist said I was the oldest person to whom he’d given an MMR shot! I will be getting a 15th vaccination, a TdAP booster in 2024.
