Why do you say that? Are you saying that the certifying officials signed off on these because the gov ordered them? You do know that this procedure has been in the testing stages for several years, right? The only difference is that it was targeted to this particular virus. Before this, it was targeted to SARs-2, I think. At any rate, if you read any of the papers on it, you will see that since there is absolutely NO virus material involved in it's creation, there is little to fear. If by "fully vetted" you mean they have not been in trial for COVID for a dozen years, you are correct. Of course there will be plenty that will not get the shot. Hey, if not for concerns for my spouse, I wouldn't. I do not fear catching the virus, other than the idea of my spouse catching it due to my disregard. I haven't had the flu and I do not get the flu shot, but my spouse does get the flu shot. I got my COVID inoculation, but I may not get it next year, if they suggest it.

It all depends on how safe you feel you are when out and about. Like a famous person once sagely said "are you feeling lucky, punk?" If you are concerned about what it might do to a frail person, then I would suggest seeking advice from a professional, not a social forum. It may very well be that one will have to weigh the options. Take a slim chance of a negative reaction from the shot, or take a chance at a DEADLY reaction from catching the demon virus.
