The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines also induce the body to make spike proteins. The cells that are exposed to the mRNA produce spike proteins and then display these proteins on their surfaces. The immune system then attacks these spike proteins, thereby forming an immunity against them. The cells may also be destroyed.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Other types of COVID-19 vaccines use similar tactics.<\\/p>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"shortcode\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"mb-4 flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"flex gap-3\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"flex-1\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"relative\\\"><img src=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.theepochtimes.com\\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\\\" sizes=\\\"100vw\\\" srcset=\\\"\\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;q=75 750w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2048w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75 3840w\\\" alt=\\\"image-5594401\\\" class=\\\"cursor-pointer object-cover\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" decoding=\\\"async\\\" data-nimg=\\\"fill\\\" \\/><\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"text-comp-caption text-[14px&lt;a href=\\\">Studies show that lipid nanoparticles activate inflammatory chemicals and <a href=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.nature.com\\/articles\\/s12276-023-01086-x#:~:text=Adverse%20effects%20of%20lipid%20nanoparticles&amp;text=An%20increasing%20number%20of%20studies,disorders50%2C%20and%20others51.\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\" class=\\\"health-article-hover-class\\\">affect immune activity<\\/a>.\\r\\n<h2>COVID-19 Vaccine General Adverse Events<\\/h2>\\r\\nThe most common COVID-19 vaccine adverse events are those that affect the body generally.<\\/div>\\r\\n<div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"mb-4\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"lazyload-wrapper\\\">\\r\\n<div>\\r\\n<div id=\\\"ig-cf35dcef-4475-5dc8-33ea-af79a40e514b\\\" class=\\\"infogram-embed\\\" data-id=\\\"59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503\\\" data-type=\\\"interactive\\\" data-title=\\\"General COVID-19\\\" data-processed=\\\"1\\\"><iframe src=\\\"https:\\/\\/e.infogram.com\\/59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503?parent_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theepochtimes.com%2Fhealth%2Fa-host-of-notable-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-events-those-backed-by-evidence-5590525%3Futm_source%3DMorningbrief%26src_src%3DMorningbrief%26utm_campaign%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26src_cmp%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26utm_medium%3Demail%26est%3DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa%252BopZxIHzOHL474Nv3ZNRbp%252F3%252FOC7wozlWNbbXAUJRM9dSU%253D&amp;src=embed#async_embed\\\" width=\\\"\\\" height=\\\"\\\" title=\\\"General COVID-19\\\" scrolling=\\\"no\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-6=\\\"true\\\" allowfullscreen=\\\"\\\"><\\/iframe><\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"my-5\\\">\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li aria-level=\\\"1\\\"><strong>Chest pain<\\/strong> may be a sign of myocarditis, but it can also be due to inflamed rib joints, lung inflammation, or neuropathy in the chest\\u2014all of which will be explained later in the article.<\\/li>\\r\\n<li aria-level=\\\"1\\\"><strong>Fatigue<\\/strong> after vaccination is mostly transient.

The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines also induce the body to make spike proteins. The cells that are exposed to the mRNA produce spike proteins and then display these proteins on their surfaces. The immune system then attacks these spike proteins, thereby forming an immunity against them. The cells may also be destroyed.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Other types of COVID-19 vaccines use similar tactics.<\\/p>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"shortcode\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"mb-4 flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"flex gap-3\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"flex-1\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"relative\\\"><img src=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.theepochtimes.com\\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\\\" sizes=\\\"100vw\\\" srcset=\\\"\\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;q=75 750w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2048w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75 3840w\\\" alt=\\\"image-5594401\\\" class=\\\"cursor-pointer object-cover\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" decoding=\\\"async\\\" data-nimg=\\\"fill\\\" \\/><\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"text-comp-caption text-[14px&lt;a href=\\\">Studies show that lipid nanoparticles activate inflammatory chemicals and <a href=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.nature.com\\/articles\\/s12276-023-01086-x#:~:text=Adverse%20effects%20of%20lipid%20nanoparticles&amp;text=An%20increasing%20number%20of%20studies,disorders50%2C%20and%20others51.\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\" class=\\\"health-article-hover-class\\\">affect immune activity<\\/a>.\\r\\n<h2>COVID-19 Vaccine General Adverse Events<\\/h2>\\r\\nThe most common COVID-19 vaccine adverse events are those that affect the body generally.<\\/div>\\r\\n<div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"mb-4\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"lazyload-wrapper\\\">\\r\\n<div>\\r\\n<div id=\\\"ig-cf35dcef-4475-5dc8-33ea-af79a40e514b\\\" class=\\\"infogram-embed\\\" data-id=\\\"59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503\\\" data-type=\\\"interactive\\\" data-title=\\\"General COVID-19\\\" data-processed=\\\"1\\\"><iframe src=\\\"https:\\/\\/e.infogram.com\\/59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503?parent_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theepochtimes.com%2Fhealth%2Fa-host-of-notable-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-events-those-backed-by-evidence-5590525%3Futm_source%3DMorningbrief%26src_src%3DMorningbrief%26utm_campaign%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26src_cmp%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26utm_medium%3Demail%26est%3DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa%252BopZxIHzOHL474Nv3ZNRbp%252F3%252FOC7wozlWNbbXAUJRM9dSU%253D&amp;src=embed#async_embed\\\" width=\\\"\\\" height=\\\"\\\" title=\\\"General COVID-19\\\" scrolling=\\\"no\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-6=\\\"true\\\" allowfullscreen=\\\"\\\"><\\/iframe><\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"my-5\\\">\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li aria-level=\\\"1\\\"><strong>Chest pain<\\/strong> may be a sign of myocarditis, but it can also be due to inflamed rib joints, lung inflammation, or neuropathy in the chest\\u2014all of which will be explained later in the article.<\\/li>\\r\\n<li aria-level=\\\"1\\\"><strong>Fatigue<\\/strong> after vaccination is mostly transient.

The immune system then attacks these spike proteins, thereby forming an immunity against them. The cells may also be destroyed.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Other types of COVID-19 vaccines use similar tactics.<\\/p>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"shortcode\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"mb-4 flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"flex gap-3\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"flex-1\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"relative\\\"><img src=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.theepochtimes.com\\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\\\" sizes=\\\"100vw\\\" srcset=\\\"\\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;q=75 750w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2048w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75 3840w\\\" alt=\\\"image-5594401\\\" class=\\\"cursor-pointer object-cover\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" decoding=\\\"async\\\" data-nimg=\\\"fill\\\" \\/><\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"text-comp-caption text-[14px&lt;a href=\\\">Studies show that lipid nanoparticles activate inflammatory chemicals and <a href=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.nature.com\\/articles\\/s12276-023-01086-x#:~:text=Adverse%20effects%20of%20lipid%20nanoparticles&amp;text=An%20increasing%20number%20of%20studies,disorders50%2C%20and%20others51.\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\" class=\\\"health-article-hover-class\\\">affect immune activity<\\/a>.\\r\\n<h2>COVID-19 Vaccine General Adverse Events<\\/h2>\\r\\nThe most common COVID-19 vaccine adverse events are those that affect the body generally.<\\/div>\\r\\n<div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"mb-4\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"lazyload-wrapper\\\">\\r\\n<div>\\r\\n<div id=\\\"ig-cf35dcef-4475-5dc8-33ea-af79a40e514b\\\" class=\\\"infogram-embed\\\" data-id=\\\"59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503\\\" data-type=\\\"interactive\\\" data-title=\\\"General COVID-19\\\" data-processed=\\\"1\\\"><iframe src=\\\"https:\\/\\/e.infogram.com\\/59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503?parent_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theepochtimes.com%2Fhealth%2Fa-host-of-notable-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-events-those-backed-by-evidence-5590525%3Futm_source%3DMorningbrief%26src_src%3DMorningbrief%26utm_campaign%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26src_cmp%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26utm_medium%3Demail%26est%3DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa%252BopZxIHzOHL474Nv3ZNRbp%252F3%252FOC7wozlWNbbXAUJRM9dSU%253D&amp;src=embed#async_embed\\\" width=\\\"\\\" height=\\\"\\\" title=\\\"General COVID-19\\\" scrolling=\\\"no\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-6=\\\"true\\\" allowfullscreen=\\\"\\\"><\\/iframe><\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"my-5\\\">\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li aria-level=\\\"1\\\"><strong>Chest pain<\\/strong> may be a sign of myocarditis, but it can also be due to inflamed rib joints, lung inflammation, or neuropathy in the chest\\u2014all of which will be explained later in the article.<\\/li>\\r\\n<li aria-level=\\\"1\\\"><strong>Fatigue<\\/strong> after vaccination is mostly transient.

The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines also induce the body to make spike proteins. The cells that are exposed to the mRNA produce spike proteins and then display these proteins on their surfaces. The immune system then attacks these spike proteins, thereby forming an immunity against them. The cells may also be destroyed.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Other types of COVID-19 vaccines use similar tactics.<\\/p>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"shortcode\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"mb-4 flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"flex gap-3\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"flex-1\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"relative\\\"><img src=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.theepochtimes.com\\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\\\" sizes=\\\"100vw\\\" srcset=\\\"\\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;q=75 750w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2048w, \\/_next\\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75 3840w\\\" alt=\\\"image-5594401\\\" class=\\\"cursor-pointer object-cover\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" decoding=\\\"async\\\" data-nimg=\\\"fill\\\" \\/><\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"text-comp-caption text-[14px&lt;a href=\\\">Studies show that lipid nanoparticles activate inflammatory chemicals and <a href=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.nature.com\\/articles\\/s12276-023-01086-x#:~:text=Adverse%20effects%20of%20lipid%20nanoparticles&amp;text=An%20increasing%20number%20of%20studies,disorders50%2C%20and%20others51.\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\" class=\\\"health-article-hover-class\\\">affect immune activity<\\/a>.\\r\\n<h2>COVID-19 Vaccine General Adverse Events<\\/h2>\\r\\nThe most common COVID-19 vaccine adverse events are those that affect the body generally.<\\/div>\\r\\n<div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"mb-4\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"lazyload-wrapper\\\">\\r\\n<div>\\r\\n<div id=\\\"ig-cf35dcef-4475-5dc8-33ea-af79a40e514b\\\" class=\\\"infogram-embed\\\" data-id=\\\"59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503\\\" data-type=\\\"interactive\\\" data-title=\\\"General COVID-19\\\" data-processed=\\\"1\\\"><iframe src=\\\"https:\\/\\/e.infogram.com\\/59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503?parent_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theepochtimes.com%2Fhealth%2Fa-host-of-notable-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-events-those-backed-by-evidence-5590525%3Futm_source%3DMorningbrief%26src_src%3DMorningbrief%26utm_campaign%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26src_cmp%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26utm_medium%3Demail%26est%3DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa%252BopZxIHzOHL474Nv3ZNRbp%252F3%252FOC7wozlWNbbXAUJRM9dSU%253D&amp;src=embed#async_embed\\\" width=\\\"\\\" height=\\\"\\\" title=\\\"General COVID-19\\\" scrolling=\\\"no\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-6=\\\"true\\\" allowfullscreen=\\\"\\\"><\\/iframe><\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<\\/div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"my-5\\\">\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li aria-level=\\\"1\\\"><strong>Chest pain<\\/strong> may be a sign of myocarditis, but it can also be due to inflamed rib joints, lung inflammation, or neuropathy in the chest\\u2014all of which will be explained later in the article.<\\/li>\\r\\n<li aria-level=\\\"1\\\"><strong>Fatigue<\\/strong> after vaccination is mostly transient.
