I think people vastly overestimate the danger of vaccines vs thing they do on a daily basis. Even aspirin is more dangerous.
Edit: I was specifically referring to how the danger of everyday things are under estimated by people. That people e.g. text while driving a 1½ ton vehicle at 55+ mph is a great example of that. The danger isn't high enough to be "common" but definitely higher than people estimate it to be.
The more the media treats covid vaccines like they're marketing the latest iphone release the more skeptical I become. It's very unsettling to me personally.
Black people in this country have the Tuskeegee experiment as a huge reason to be skeptical of vaccines.
Over the course of the last year the sense-making organizations have lost a ton of credibility by lying to get the outcome they wanted instead of educating us. The most blatant examples are probably when the surgeon general and WHO told us wearing masks would kill us because they didn't want us to buy masks that would save our lives, they wanted to save those for healthcare workers. Fauci has recently admitted he lied about his estimates for herd immunity because he believed it would aid compliance. Birx told us not to mix family and then had a mixed family Thanksgiving. The list of governors/congress/media personalities hypocritically breaking the rules they push feels unending. Fourteen days to slow the spread turned into shut down everything until there's a cure. These things have a cost, and we are seeing it.
I can’t make sense of what you’re even trying to say:
1. That the mechanism of harm is different tells us nothing about the relative risks. I don’t OD on cars, but cars are riskier than Asprin.
2. You can have long term negative impacts from, eg, vaccine carriers. (Which is why we stopped using some....)
3. Overdosing a live virus vaccine happens all the time, the result being you get the illness. A flu shot can kill you by giving you a deadly flu.
