The point you make is unrelated to mRNA technology or Covid vaccines - it can happen, has happened (thalidomide, pandemrix, etc.) and will happen again.
I don't see why we this discussion has to be so politically charged. Life as an adult is all about taking risks, and most of the time a risk-less alternative does not exist.
To go back to your example: To make Covid vaccines more risky than say, alcohol, (or another common drug), a lot has to happen. Can it happen? Yes. How likely is it? Very unlikely.
Still people take great risks every day: Drinking alcohol, driving a car, eating unhealthy, taking pain killers, etc.
