Not a health reporter but I have questions about this, "around one-third of people vaccinated with the Covid-19 vaccine without acetaminophen experienced moderate or severe chills, fatigue, headache, malaise, and/or feverishness." /1 https://www.wired.com/story/covid-19-vaccines-with-minor-side-effects-could-still-be-pretty-bad/
Basically, the reporter is propping these up as severe side effects and they're not? They're extremely common side effects of a lot of vaccines.
Before I went to India/Myanmar I had to get four vaccines at once because I'm a bad planner. I had all of these side effects. /2

Like yeah you don't feel your best for a day but honestly it was still better than menstrual cramps.
Also this bit, "The paper’s authors designated the vaccine as “acceptable” and “tolerated,” but we don’t yet know how acceptable this will be to most people." /3

Every time I get a tetanus shot my arm hurts for like three days but it's fucking better than tetanus and I can't get tetanus by breathing air.
So, perhaps it's a question of presentation?
I agree that , journalists should be rigorous and maybe they haven't been /4

But the thesis of the first part of the story is "there are some side effects that may make you uncomfortable and we shouldn't call them minor" when my understanding is a minor side effect is discomfort and a major side effect is "you might die or get really sick". /5
For the record: I will happily experience all of these symptoms for like a week or even a month if it means I don't get covid. Even the mild fever! bring it on!
For me they're absolutely acceptable.
