Forgive my dispondance. After the past couple years, I have zero confidence that the public would willingly or properly care for their vaccination site to prevent complications for themselves or others.

Here you missed an opportunity to illustrate how unprecedentedly safe the Covid-19 vaccinations are and how wild the claims of many anti-vax scoffers are. It also shows how cautious FDA and their advisers were.

You cite that ACAM2000 vaccine could produce myocarditis/pericarditis in 1 in 175 people.

On the other hand, for Covid-19 vaccines, a study conducted in Denmark "found a higher risk for myocarditis or pericarditis following mRNA-1273 vaccination compared with BNT162b2 when evaluating the risk after dose 2 in male individuals aged 12 to 39 years. The corresponding rates of myocarditis or pericarditis within 28 days of vaccination in the Denmark study was 1.8 per 100 000 vaccinated individuals (95% CI, 0.8-3.4 per 100 000 vaccinated individuals) for BNT162b2 and 9.4 per 100 000 vaccinated individuals (95% CI, 5.0-16.0 per 100 000 vaccinated individuals) for mRNA-1273; dose 1 findings were not reported." Covid-19 vaccines are more than 600 times safer in this regard.
