From the beginning of the vaccination campaign by spring of 2021 the efficacy and relatively low risk were both becoming apparent. I wasn't a fan of the mRNA ones, I would have preferred the J&J one but I missed it by one day. But I was in favor of the shot just by who was opposed. Also the pont of the vax, like the mask is protect others as much as oneself. Both reduce your ability to spread it to others. Those Regressives hate anything that helps anyone outside of their bubble.
