That is one strange thing that I've noticed in people who got the coronavirus vaccine- no complaints of burning with the injection, no swelling, no excessive warm feeling... but it does feel sore the next day and occasionally there will be a swollen lymph node nearby. It usually lasts 2-4 days.
The shingles vaccine has a substance that is designed to trigger a stronger immune response. A lot of people complain that it does trigger fever, soreness and other symptoms.I had a worse reaction from the second shingles shot - 101 fever and more sore arm, no lymph nodes from either though...

Oddly, Moderna and Pfizer don't have any substances that are designed to amply the immune response. The responses that people are seeing are a response to the spike protein that the mRNA vaccines create- the same protein that is found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2. When I hear people say that they ran a fever after Moderna or Pfizer, I always have to wonder how much more miserable they would have been if they actually got COVID-19.
^ Was I asking you?
If you want to get more intimate with me, it'll cost ya!

Yes, sore arm, some fatigue. Oddly I've also been speaking in Latin to my cat.

*I see what you did.That's the typical reaction.* The second shot can be a little more intense. Plan on taking it easier the day after your second shot. It's a good day to take lots of catnaps.*
The second shot is still a picnic compared to two weeks of COVID-19.

And now, we have Fox News basically telling people not to take the Covid vaccines, as experts fret that we may be on the verge of another large wave. (Carlson has been peddling vaccine hesitancy for months now.)
I wouldn't waste a lot of time on Fox. They say one thing but do another.
While they were denying COVID-19 was serious, the majority of their employees were working from home.
When one of theirs anchors tested positive, she was fired.
One of their senior producers, Eric Spinato, died of COVID-19 in March.
They go on about vaccines but you can bet they were all on the phone pulling strings and trying to get appointments the minute that the vaccines became available in January.
Yes, but their viewers don't know that and would not believe it if they were told. Tucker Carlson's ratings are through the roof lately, and he's preaching this disinformation to his army of dunderheaded couch potatoes. That's the danger.
I don't know that I would describe it as danger, though.
Tucker's older audience members lived at a time when polio and other childhood diseases were still prevalent. They saw the changes that vaccines made in their generation's mortality and morbidity. They're quietly making appointments for their shots because they don't want to get COVID-19 and because they want to see their grandkids again.
Tucker's younger audience members drank the Koolaid a long time ago. They're invested in conspiracy theories. They already believe that Bill Gates is conspiring with the Deep State to alter their genes and other ridiculous nonsense. Those younger audience members won't get the vaccine until they see someone with COVID-19 who gets really sick... then they'll panic and and then they'll be on the web, desperately looking for appointments.
^ Depending on their contumacy, they can always twist the facts to fit their own reality.
People (most people, I mean) yield more often to laziness than to what they used to call "the force of reason": it is not that those people suddenly are enlightened by evidence and sense, but they simply find a few to be happy with what is to them a new reality, just like they use to fight it because back then they felt happier with a different reality.
