Elon Musk says he "almost went to hospital" after taking COVID shot

While the debate around COVID vaccine, its implementation and its impact is still ongoing, Elon Musk recently took to X to share his experience with COVID vaccine.

"I had a similar experience. Covid itself was nothing. I got the OG Wuhan strain before vaccines were out. J&J vaccine hurt my arm, but otherwise nothing. But the mRNA booster hit extremely hard. Massive chest pain. Felt like I got hit by a truck. Almost went to hospital. That said, synthetic mRNA has a lot of potential to cure cancer and other diseases. Research should continue," he posted on X.




Musk's response was in reply to JD Vance's comments on COVID vaccine.



During his conversation with Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Vance stated, "We are not talking enough about the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines in this country."

“I took the vax, and, you know, I haven’t been boosted or anything. But the moment where I really started to get red pilled on the whole vaxx thing was the sickest that I have been in the last fifteen years by far was when I took the vaccine. And I, you know, I’ve had COVID at this point five times. I was in bed for two days. My heart was racing,” Vance said.

“I was like the fact that we’re not even allowed to talk about that, even, you know, I no no, like, serious injury. But but even the fact that we’re not even allowed to talk about the fact that I was as sick as I’ve ever been for two days, and the worst COVID experience I had was like a sinus infection, I’m not really willing to trade that.”

The US Vice President's comment came after Adaline Deal, a young girl and a distant relative of his, was reportedly denied a heart transplant because she was not vaccinated against Covid-19 and the flu. The girl was born with Ebstein’s anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, two rare heart conditions.

In response to this, Musk has said he had a similar experience too in dealing with COVID.
