Acceptable is a relative term. I do think dying of COVID, or loss of one’s senses or lung function are more concerning than a swollen arm. As has been stated many times before, vulnerability to the virus & vaccination each carry risks. The risks of vaccination are less common & less severe than the risks of the virus, though.
You are buying into the fear porn spouted by CNN. It is well over 99% survivable. I am living proof. My 86 year old mother in law is proof. My wife id proof as well as many other members of my family.
How do you know that the 'swollen arm' is not symptomatic of something more serious that these vaccines could cause later on? You don't.
And 6 months??? for a vaccine method that has NEVER been used nor successful in animals much less humans and you are willing to roll up sleeves for that? Amazing.
