Not the OP, but for me, I'm led to believe that vaccine trials usually go for 7 years, so there's that hesitancy that yes, the sample size is huge, but the normal time hasn't elapsed. Also don't forget that at the beginning of the rollout, the rigour was much less. Thankfully so far so good (depending on who you talk to), but time makes things clearer, and down the road things will be even more clear. Combined with:

* the perceived scaremongering and desperation of some governments and media;

* Being a cancer survivor and not having clear, trustworthy research on effects on this subgroup (they're using genetic instructions to hijack our own cells and produce a foreign protein? That sounds really clever but it also reminds me of cancer)...

alarm bells were ringing, right or wrong. I'd welcome any information that helps with my concerns. It's a genuine wrestle.
