Doing what you're doing and jumping to the conclusion that any famous person or sick person is some sort of Covid vaccine victim does nothing but spread disinformation and muddy the waters.

Prior to the wu-flu there has NEVER been such a widespread and expedited rollout of a vaccine in the history of medicine; worldwide. The vaccine was rolled out fast - IMO not in the adequate amount of time it would take to properly develop a vaccine with a the level of safety the flu vax or Hepatitis vax has (for example). However, this is not to say the covid vax's aren't within acceptable safety margins. The number of vaccine related woes comes purely down to statistics, with such a vast number of people getting it, there is bound to be some negative side affects in a larger number of people than is generally seen with other common vaccinations. Here's a fun statistic - if everyone who has taken the covid vax, ate a single peanut, roughly 1.5 - 4 % of them would have a fatal anaphylactic reaction to it (based on the rough percentage of people with a peanut allergy). Not only is that 1.5 - 4% higher than the percentage of negative covid vax reactions, but higher than the negative reactions of ALL vaccinations since the beginning of their mainstream use in modern medicine.

As I said, you must be American, as you constantly get fed disinformation, or just enough information to play toward someones narrative. At least here in Australia and from what I've heard from the UK, it was always marketed as something to reduce severity of symptoms. Never was it said to prevent transmission, neither on television or in hospital literature given to staff. What you heard was half right, its very much about reducing the load on Hospitals and healthcare infrastructure. As the government projected the number of cases likely to emerge.
Fact is, anyone can write a medical paper. Especially like the one you've just linked that (as the header of the document states) has not been peer reviewed.

Guy. Oh I know why, it just still bewilders me that doctors haven't done something about it. Then again, you're very correct, same answer, money. But #, as a doctor, f*** being told what medication a patient wants because they saw it on TV.
