Two metaphors
The fast-changing brief side effects of the Moderna vaccine reminded me of two things.
1. Seriously, Room 101/Github.
2. Non-seriously... Once in the 80s I was dogsitting for a friend who was traveling. Her dog was an elderly French Bulldog named Beau, short for Colonel Beauregard. Beau liked beer, so I tried letting him lick a spoonful of beer from my hand while I was drinking.
Beau ran through the stages of human intoxication in fast motion, scaled to his small body and small brain. Calm, affectionate, staggering, fighting, asleep, all in 5 minutes.
These 'effects' are running through a typical flu episode in fast motion. A vaccine is a scale model of a virus, so this makes sense.
I checked Quora just after writing the above, and received a pile of items about small dogs. The Internet Knows Everything.
