Well, for standard side-effects, you'd be right. But we aren't talking about a normal viral-vector vaccine. We're talking about an mRNA vaccine. A delivery-method which "temporarily modifies turns the cells in a localized area into protein-producing machines". (A fairly non-scientific excerpt I found online)

But the big question (at least for me) is, can this actually modify my DNA? Because if so, that's potentially a Big Deal™ that we should be able to object to or at least discuss, right? But while the CDC is busy telling everyone that RNA cannot possibly ever change DNA, a group of scientists at Harvard and MIT accidentally found out—oops, maybe it can.[0]

Now look, there's still a lot of squinting and determining to be done here. By no means should we halt everything. But as long as there's still questions like this out there, there can be no reasonable mandate.
