I would need to know
- Short-term risks of taking vaccine
- Long-term risks of taking vaccine
- Short-term benefits of taking vaccine
- Long-term benefits of taking vaccine
- Risks and benefits of alternatives
The vaccine doesn't even need to be "safe" for it to be worthwhile. A person with a short enough expected lifespan (elderly or comorbid) may derive a great benefit from a drug with real long-term risks.
For long term risks, nothing can substitute for time.
I'm relatively young. I have an expected lifespan of 40+ more years. Ideally, I would want 40+ years worth of long term data. Realistically, I will settle for 5 years of good data. That should give good enough information to make an informed decision.
The biggest hurdle to overcome is censorship. A large portion of the media and big tech is censoring "misinformation". Its not just social media like Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc. nor main stream media like CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc. Companies like Google are removing advertisement from pages if it says something they disagree with. With this heavy handed skew, can you really trust the information that comes out?
