The fact is, mRNA vaccine technology is new, the long term effects are unknown and can't be known at this time. People have different risk tolerances and if I were to put myself in the shoes of someone who is hesitant to take this particular vaccine because they are unsure of the technology, I would definitely feel like my rights were being violated... I guess I don't see the argument as simply idiot anti-vaxxers on one side (trust me, I know there are plenty of those) vs. Righteous vaxxers on the other... lots of valid opinions out there.

lots of opinions, but I don't know about most of them being valid.
I don't support anyone being hesitant because they are unsure of the technology.
they're unsure because they're not experts in the field. likely if the science was explained to them, 99.9%of them still wouldn't understand it.
at a certain point you have to trust the people who are experts and have dedicated their entire professional careers to this.
they didn't just pull some random vaccine out of their asses. even people who have degrees or even are doctors in other fields. They're not experts all of a sudden on this topic after a few hours ofstudy.
