Dr. Anthony Fauci received the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine last week
But the next day he forgot which arm he got his shot in, after claiming it was a bit sore.
During an interview with CBS News on Wednesday, Dr. Fauci revealed he experienced a sore arm after being jabbed.
“I actually feel quite good,” Fauci said. “I do have a little bit of a sore arm after the vaccination.” He then explained that initially he had no reaction. “I felt absolutely nothing,” he said. However, “about maybe six to eight hours,” that changed. “Towards the late afternoon, I started to get soreness in the arm,” he continued.
“This is very typical of vaccinations,” he explained. “The same thing happened with other non-COVID vaccines that I’ve had over the years.”
“I felt a little bit achy, but nothing to be bothering or distracting me,” he continued. “Went to bed last night, had a good night’s sleep, woke up this morning. The only thing I have is just a little bit of a soreness in the arm. Otherwise I’m doing really well.”
When asked about other potential side effects, he pointed out that most are temporary and not to be worried about.
“You have to look at the history of vaccinology and say, ‘When do you get toxic or adverse effects,’” he said. “You get the first immediate, like the pain in my arm that I’m feeling this morning, that’ll be gone tomorrow.”
