Not sure how that affects my viewpoint on the vaccine yet. If it was universally seen as safe, I'd have no problems with it. However, the fact is, many knowledgeable doctors and agencies have reservations about the vaccine.
I'd consider myself low risk anyway, so I wouldn't get the vaccine right away anyways.

I'd argue that very few things are seen as universally safe. Everything has an inherent risk.
In this case, I think that most authorities agree that the risks present in the vaccine are vastly outweighed by the risks you encounter without it. Everything comes with pros and cons, but there is usually one side that is larger.
