41. I said absolutely nothing about Jacqueline Jackson, in this thread or any other.

My response was a narrow response to a poster whose neighbor expressly suggested that swollen lymph nodes mimicking cancer was a reason not to be vaccinated (and the OP also expressly suggested they did not necessarily believe them, because they repeat RW talking points).

The specific, well documented, diagnostic concern is that swollen lymph nodes from the vaccine might mimic breast cancer.

In addition to being a well-documented diagnostic concern, it is also an area in which I have direct experience both becuase I have breast cancer, and because I had a mammogram after being vaccinated and know how doctors handle the matter. The possibilty that lymph nodes might might create false positives on a mammogram, or might feel like the beginning of cancer, is NOT a reason to avoid a vaccine. It is a reason to fully inform your mammographer so that the doctor has the information to ask additional questions, rule out false positives, and potentially a reason to alter the timing of the mammogram to avoid a false positive.
