I also thank you for your honesty. A close relative of mine refuses to get the vaccine and remains unvaccinated. In the end, I think the choice to get the vaccine depends on the person. My goal in my writing is to present the science, as unbiased as I can, and leave it to the reader to decide what to do with it.

That said, I'm honestly unsure what article to recommend. It'd be helpful if you have a specific question, given that vaccine safety is a vast research field.

I remember a scientist said there's no absolute certainty in medicine, unlike mathematics. So the right question to ask is whether we have enough certainty. Likewise, we will never be absolutely certain that the vaccine will be right for you. We can only have enough certainty that it might (or might not), depending on the individualized risk-benefit profile. Not sure if that helps but thank you for commenting.
