COVID vaccine
the way COVID vaccines are being rushed through is disturbing
drugs take years to test for good reason, and it's not even been 9 months since development began
a vaccine with a high rate of adverse effects or insufficient effectiveness is worse than none
people won't trust the vaccine nor future vaccines if they fuck this up, and we have no hope in hell for herd immunity if most people don't get it
and if people can't afford it in the US, it's pointless
don't forget, the rush is primarily for profit and some idea we can make the economy magically better this way
COVID vaccine
Even the "high rate of adverse effects" in case of vaccines is still statistically negligible from individual point of view. And in case of the evaluated COVID-10 vaccines it's not even close to "high".
At the same time, from the same point of view (mine), adverse effects of being susceptible to COVID-19 infection are much more tangible risk.
So I personally would go for a vaccine as soon as it's available.
