"I didn’t die, and I wasn’t gonna die, but that does not take away from how miserable it was. It was terrible," Eilish told Stern. "I still have side effects. I was sick for, like, two months almost."

"I wanna be clear that it is because of the vaccine that I'm fine," she continued. "I think if I weren’t vaccinated, I would have died, because it was bad."

The "Ocean Eyes" singer clarified what she meant by her case of coronavirus being "bad."

"When I say it was bad, I more just mean that it felt horrible," she added. "But really, in the scheme of COVID, it was not bad. You know what I mean? When you’re sick, you feel f---ing horrible."
