> how you got fear-mongering from that article

Title of the article: "I got 'Mild' Breakthrough Case".

By definition, it is not a mild case. Any reasonable definition of mildness would not include the terms "My eyeballs ache" and "103 degree fever".

The article implies that even the mild case of COVID has horrifying symptomps which it goes into great detail to painfully exemplify. This is misleading. Absolutely despicable journalism, if you ask me.
