My choice whether it was safe and when to take it were based on listening to a scientist who actually was in the middle of the development and has a vested interest in ME. My daughter. Since her company was in on development of something like 18 of the original contenders and is also the production facility for some of the big names that reached production she is a user of the real data behind the scenes.
In a quick summary of what I've written in this thread previously, she originally said last summer it should be safe but don't take it when it is first offered. Then there were millions who had the shot in a bigger statistical base than a normal trial so while it was developed quick and released as an emergency (not approved) vaccine, there were substantial numbers showing it was safe. After that the original limited demographics were expanded and again there were millions of more data records, which expanded the eligible groups to nearly everybody. The first shots in the original test subjects were over a half a year ago so in medical terms this is not a new thing anymore. Seems to me it was around the start of the year when she said she had no qualms about me getting the shot and I finally did a couple of weeks ago.
You believe who you want, I know she has my back and knows what she's talking about. Not only that but she personally has some serious medical issues and last year said she probably would never be able to get the vaccine. That's 100% turned around and she got her first shot last week so I am one relieved Dad.
In what I take as an indication that we are past the peak of this thing, while she and her company are working on modifications for the variants, the overtime has been reduced and she says that most of her time is now spent growing nasty cells for something totally unrelated to 'Rona.
