Although I agree the data are pretty clear at this point that these vaccines are all quite safe, there are absolutely quantifiable (low) risks [0]. Beyond the data, people aren't idiots for being skeptical of new treatments. Unknown unknowns are impossible to quantify. You point to polio as something that's similar but not as new. That example doesn't do a lot to support your argument, since when the polio vaccine was new it gave ~20% of recipients polio and killed 10 children [1]. The main issue now is unvaxxed people digging in their heels as we get more proof of the vaccines' safety (although the learnings on their efficacy are more mixed). I don't think those people will be encouraged by arrogant and infantilizing rants against them.
