Sounds like you don’t have faith in the current covid vaccines
I know the best protection they ever provided was less than 100%, and that they need to be boosted. Because that's what the science says. When Twitter, Facebook, etc. say otherwise I just look at the credentials of the poster and see if they have the technical background and experience to back up their opinions.
Take OP's link, for example. The byline attributes the article to Bri Dressen, a preschool teacher who had a bad reaction to the Astra-Zeneca vaccine. Google her for several articles about it.
I looked at some of the first papers in her list. Some involved a single patient. No one is disputing that fact that when you vaccinated billions of people a few of them could have a reaction.
I didn't see much that compared the damage from the side effects to the damage from the virus, but when I did it invariably said "this is rare" and/or "get vaccinated":
For example:
"although we find an increased risk of neurological complications in those who received COVID-19 vaccines, the risk of these complications is greater following a positive SARS-CoV-2 test." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34697502/
"The COVID-19 vaccine appears to be a safe and effective way to protect against COVID-19, reduce the hospitalization, and prevent severe SARS-CoV-2 complications, including death" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9308031/
A crystal ball that told us about the variants ahead of time would have been handy.
Sounds like you don’t have faith in the current covid vaccines anymore. Don’t fret; you’re not the only one.

"The actual incidence of FND (Functional Neurological Disorders) after COVID-19 vaccination is unclear and may be magnified by social media." https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ana.26160
"Very rare events with unknown epidemiology are hardly interpretable in their relationship with vaccination." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8814467/

"it remains possible that the development of the trigeminal and cervical radiculitis is not related to the vaccination" https://casereports.bmj.com/content/14/6/e242344.long
Still sounds like you don't have much faith in the vaccine.
