I second this sentiment. I'd wager a few bucks that all the people pressuring others to hurry and get the vaccine will conveniently be in no rush to follow up and check whether the vaccine had any health consequences or offer to help.

I'd take it today with zero qualms.

Don't worry though, what is likely the "average" HN reader (30, male), is pretty much last on the list, so by the time we get it there will be tens or hundreds of millions of people who have received all of the various types of vaccines.

That's not their job. Government departments with Public Health functions do that (e.g. https://vaers.hhs.gov/)
What? Why? You are say "those who want others to become healthy won't want to ensure they stay healthy". That sounds illogical.
Have you never heard about the word "Virtue Signaling"?
