Questionable side effects?

I had a quick read of Dr Kerryn Phelps's (relatively) well publicised submission to the parliamentary health committee's inquiry into long Covid, and I don't know, but it felt - kind of fishy.  

As everyone knows, she was no anti-vaxxer when Covid started, and the first 7 pages of her submission are really spent justifying her warnings early on about the danger Covid (and long Covid) generally.

It's when she starts talking about the damage vaccination caused her and her wife that it starts sounding  questionable.  First, it's pretty surprising that both of them should have adverse effects.   And secondly, despite her talking about all of the specialists who have confirmed a real problem with both of them, I would like to hear more directly from specialists than from her:

I have had CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, blood tests, cardiac echogram, transthoracic
cardiac stress echo, Holter monitor, blood pressure monitoring and autonomic testing.  In my case the injury resulted in dysautonomia with intermittent fevers and cardiovascular implications including breathlessness, inappropriate sinus tachycardia and blood pressure fluctuations.

These reactions were reported to the TGA at the time, but never followed up. 

I have spoken with other doctors who have themselves experienced a serious and persistent
adverse event including cardiological, rheumatological, autoimmune reactions and
neurological consequences. Patients and other members of the community have told me
about their stories.

They have had to search for answers, find GPs and specialists who are interested and able to help them, spend large amounts of money on medical investigations, isolate from friends
and family, reduce work hours, lose work if they are required to attend in person and avoid
social and cultural events.

Look, this is really just my gut reaction, but there is a reliance on anecdote to bolster her argument  (and from people who sound like they have a "no one will listen to me" sort of semi-conspiracy mindset) which feels like there are some psychological issues drawn into this.   

On the other hand, it's true - I did find myself having some bursts of high blood pressure readings for the first time in my life during this year (they seem to have stopped or reduced now, and I suspected some work stress which has lessened now has helped with that.)    I did wonder whether Covid vaccination had any connection with it, and I posted before that some studies indicated that there could be.   

But I just get the feeling that with Phelps and her partner, it's more complicated than a direct vaccine side effect.
