To me I am willing to take this Risk/Benefit even with unknown side effects.

How do you know it is going to 70% effective? What happens a month from now if they realize the shot did nothing and could actually have more side effects than benefits?
Just IMO they seem to have rushed this shot out and I find it odd that some countries haven't approved this same shot. If the chances of catching it are 4X greater without the shot. Why haven't they done that?
What if those side effects are worse than the flu itself? What if it starts to hurt people? Should those people clog up our health care system because their risk/benefit analyst was off?
