Yes, there are unknowns. If you prefer to call this the trial period, so be it. I'll go with that. But, the vaccine having emergency authorization is good enough for me. I'm aware people are waiting for full FDA approval to feel safer to take the vaccine.
There are also unknowns about Covid and what damage the disease will offer in the years to come. We already know that Covid causes "long hauler" side effects and that is even to people who did not have symptoms of the disease when they were infectious. I'd rather risk the "unknown" from a vaccine than the devastating "knowns" from having Covid. But....that is just me. I don't expect everyone to rationalize as I do. The irony of these "long haul" side effects is that people have had relief from those long haul side effects after receiving the Covid vaccines. So, there is that.
Can Vaccination Improve Symptoms for People with Long COVID?
