The vaccines effects are being studied.
My specialty is diagnostic imaging and I can tell you that this report is very troubling.
Vaccine side effects may affect mammograms
"Routine mammograms should be done either before the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine or four-to-six weeks after the second dose, the Society for Breast Imaging advises. The vaccines’ temporary side effects can include swollen lymph nodes around the armpits, which could be misread as a possible sign of breast cancer if it turns up on a mammogram. So-called axillary lymphadenopathy is usually seen in only 0.02%-0.04% of screening mammograms, according to the Society’s guidelines. In trials of the Moderna vaccine, the condition developed in 11.6% of participants after the first dose and in 16% after the second dose. Researchers testing the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine did not routinely ask participants about armpit tenderness and lymph node swelling, but some people reported this side effect, which lasted an average of 10 days. More subtle effects on lymph nodes that are evident only on X-rays are likely to last longer, the Society said, although it is not clear yet what vaccination-related lymph node changes would look like. “As more information about the incidence and appearance of axillary lymphadenopathy following COVID-19 vaccination becomes available, it may be appropriate to change the duration of follow-up or final assessment recommendations,” the Society said."

It’s the end of Feb. I don’t think we’re anywhere close, to having vaccinated front line workers or the at risk. At a guess, mid summer before the gen pop has to decide. I guess if there’s an upside to the Feds bumbling, we will have mountains of data thanks to the rest of the world.
Impact.
My fiancé is screened regularly. Mamograms are of no use. Can’t screen what’s not there :) I’ll let her know about lymph nodes.
Will say, she plans to get it. But is in no rush to join the que
Yup. Anti-vaxx kooks are going to find their activities seriously limited. No international travel, no sporting events, no concerts, no volunteering, no doctors or dentists, maybe not even movies or restaurants. Your vaccination card will be like American Express: "Don't leave home without it." The real benefit will be at the airport. Fewer imbeciles in the security line.
Eventually this will all pass and anti-vaxx kooks can go back to worrying about EMF, Bill Gates, microchips, fluoride in the water and whether tinfoil is on sale.
They (other countries) have already backed down on that rhetoric as it won't hold up to Human rights complaints. Once the pandemic is over they isn't a medical /health emergency they will not have the right restrict activities.
And by the way, it's isn't 'anti-vaxxers' who are stepping back, it's people with enough common sense to question a vaccine that has not been used before or thoroughly tested.
But we do thank you for participating in the trails, hope all goes well. :)
So let me get this straight, because a person questions what an obviously lying government tells them, it makes them kooks? Because someone questions what they are being told by someone who is in bed with a Chinese dictator, it makes them a kook?
We have near zero honesty in any level of government at the moment and it makes one a kook to think for themselves.
Private companies can set health-related conditions on who enters their property. Public health units can issue orders. Governments can impose restrictions on activities pertaining to health. Nations can definitely limit who enters their territory.
Millions of people already have been vaccinated. The adverse effects are infinitesimal relative to the adverse effects of being infected with COVID-19.
