'Felt Like I Was Dying': Elon Musk On Suffering Major Side Effects From 2nd COVID Booster Shot
Twitter CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter and opened up about his worst experience with a COVID-19 booster shot. In a tweet on Friday evening, Musk shared his worst personal experience with the 2nd COVID-19 booster shot, explaining he ran into "major side effects."
In a series of tweets, the Twitter CEO said he felt like he "was dying" after taking his second dose of the COVID booster shot. He also tweeted about his cousin who is at his "peak health" after suffering myocarditis post-COVID booster shot. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart which is listed as a possible side effect of some coronavirus vaccines.
I had major side effects from my second booster shot. Felt like I was dying for several days. Hopefully, no permanent damage, but I dunno.
