Dr. Andrea Porpiglia, Assistant Professor at Fox Chase Cancer Center: "[this] is a normal response to the vaccine...The lymph nodes main purpose is they help, they harbor the T-Cells and B-Cells that help us fight infection. So, when you get the vaccine and you’re mounting an immune response and making these antibodies, the lymph nodes are naturally going to get larger. So, this is a normal response that we would expect to see with the vaccine.”

Sounds reasonable to me. But I'm a mechanical engineer, not a body engineer.

A normal response given the way the Messenger RNA works:

The blueprint RNA messenger is delivered into the cell inside a lipid nanoparticle. When that lipid nanoparticle fuses onto a cell wall membrane, it releases the RNA Messenger into the cell, where the host cell’s ribosomes read the RNA instruction to translate the proteins that are exact copies of the C-virus Spike Protein. These proteins are then presented on the surface of the host cell's membrane where they bind to the MHC-1 and MHC-2 complex molecules. The MHC-1 complex is where these proteins attract T helper cells. Once in contact with these foreign proteins there is an interaction with the T helper cells which trigger them to produce cytokines (interlukens) and memory cells. The interlukens attracts B-cells (from the lymph nodes) that produce plasma cells which act to produce antibodies that will bind on the C-virus's Spike Protein, whenever present, neutralize it and destroy it. It is not known how long these specially programmed antibodies stay in the body.

The memory cells, however, will produce T-cells (from the lymph nodes) that are programmed to produce antibodies that will also attack any future C-virus’s Spike Proteins that enter the body. This function should last a long time.

Proteins on the host MHC-2 comlex molecule attract cytoxic T-cells that release destructive molecules that destroys the host cell, ending the Spike Protein reproduction.

If it was a normal and expected response to a vaccine they claim 90% + efficacy for, then it seems that the enlarged nodes would present themselves in more than 11% - 16%.

Truth is they have zero idea how/why different folks have such widespread/varying responses.
