I was unable to find any section titled "disclaimers" other than one saying "The authors have no financial interest to declare in relation to the content of this article."

Is there something specific you are trying to point at?

I would take it as:

Although axillary lymphadenopathy is a known side effect of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, such changes are transient and contribute only to the perception of breast growth. To date, there has been only 1 published case outlining lasting parenchymal breast changes, presenting as a palpable mass, following administration of the Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA booster. No formal studies have established a link between breast parenchymal growth and the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

It's a one off case and they were unable to draw any conclusions, like if it was the spike protein to blame or if it was the carrier solution.

A bit off topic, but, I had a Moderna booster shot and the flu shot both in the left arm a couple minutes apart - 20 .. 30 mins later I had a notable soft mass form (not from pus like a boil) on the underside of my left wrist (where one would take a pulse) about 7/8 in / 22 mm where it persisted for a year in that state, another year or so on slowly shrinking, (ie more than 2 years) is now approx quarter the volume. That would most likely been from some weird interaction of the vaccine carriers and not likely from covid's spike protein.

Correction edit: My recall is bad, I believer it was not a Pfizer shot (my first two were) but Moderna's vaccine.

>"The patient believed that the vaccine caused her breast growth; however, her concerns were not adequately addressed by her primary care physicians, leading to mistrust in the healthcare system. [...] Physicians should consider and value patient concerns when developing therapeutic relationships."

This was precisely my experience after experiencing severe neurological symptoms (I couldn't write, couldn't type, couldn't even walk anymore) two weeks after a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination. As an engineer I understand that correlation is not causation, but please; it is a pretty damn good clue, especially when literally nothing else had recently changed in my life. But I may as well have been talking to a brick wall, especially when talking to specialists. It's gotten to the point that you can't have a rational conversation about that damn vaccine even with your doctors.
