I still don't know where you are getting your information. Worst I found when re-reading both phase 3 results was Pfizer with "Fever (temperature, ≥38°C) was reported after the second dose by 16% of younger vaccine recipients and by 11% of older recipients. Only 0.2% of vaccine recipients and 0.1% of placebo recipients reported fever (temperature, 38.9 to 40°C) after the first dose, as compared with 0.8% and 0.1%, respectively, after the second dose."

1 in 6 with mild fever of 102° isn't even close to your claimed 80%. And 0.8% with a fever of of 102-104°, 104° being the cutoff where it becomes typically recognized as dangerous.

A fever means it's WORKING, your body is producing an immune response which can include a rise in body temperature.

If people are going to site percentages and numbers when making arguments, it would be nice if you could cite sources so people can make informed decisions, not hearsay and Facebook nonsense.
