A traditional virus has many epitopes, or areas of potential attack for your immune system. Here is an abstract coronavirus with theoretical proteins/epitopes
Everybody is different, so everybody will form antibodies to different proteins on the virus. No two immune responses will be exactly the same.
We know for a fact that vaxees shed spike protein. What isn't mentioned is that this spike protein is WORSE than the actual viral one--because it is not attached to the viral shell.
Let's pretend you get the virus, and form antibodies to the theoretical "fork" protein. Now let's say you get reinfected--no problem, your "fork" antibodies will neutralize.
But now let's say you breathe in isolated spike protein from a vaxee. There is no easy way to neutralize this, because it's not attached to a viral shell--there's nothing for your body to attack. The proteins that have binded to your various tissues will stay there for a much longer time (causing bigger problems, and for a longer duration)
I remember early on in the pandemic (June-ish, 2020) there were reports that the SICKEST hospitalized people were more likely to develop antibodies (aka spike antibodies, the only ones ever tested for) This is consistent with the above logic--if there's way more spike (aka the harmful stuff), then your body probably goes overboard trying to deal with that first.
