> What's interesting is that I still get side effects from the vaccine

What side effects? How can you know this is coming from the vaccine?

Wouldn't it be more likely that this [multiple sclerosis] is the cause of your symptoms?

I assume we’re talking about the acute flu-like side effects commonly experienced in the days after getting the vaccine. Presumably this person can tell the difference between those and whatever they’ve had for the previous 25 years.

More likely than "immunosuppressing medication that wipes out the B cells in my bloodstream"?

Probably means the typically vaccine side-effects that are similar to getting a cold as your body "fights off" the vaccine and develops immunity.
