Another viewer says his wife got what her dermatologist called COVID arm after receiving her second Moderna shot. It covered most of her upper arm, was deep red, hot, tender and itchy. Her doctor told her not to worry, that her body was doing what it is supposed to do after a vaccine.
Three months after it was announced, details remain sparse about a federal fund meant to provide assistance in the rare event someone experience a serious side effect from a COVID-19 vaccine.

Pfizer Bullies Nations to Put Up Collateral for Lawsuits
As reported by New Delhi-based World Is One News (WION),
1 Pfizer is demanding countries put up sovereign assets as collateral for expected vaccine injury lawsuits resulting from its COVID-19 inoculation. In other words, it wants governments to guarantee the company will be compensated for any expenses resulting from injury lawsuits against it.
WION reports that Argentina and Brazil have rejected Pfizer’s demands. Initially, the company demanded indemnification legislation to be enacted, such as that which it enjoys in the U.S. Argentina proposed legislation that would restrict Pfizer’s financial responsibility for injuries to those resulting from negligence or malice.
