it helps that their concerns are illegitimate to begin with

Because death is illegitimate? Keep in mind that most of the people who have had fatal side-effects have been in the lowest risk brackets. And death is just the most severe concern. There are lots of other other legitimate concerns.

What I do imagine is someone trying to avoid a sore arm only to end up with a sore everything, or worse - that and the inability to pay for much-needed respiration.

When they did a spot test at grocery store in NY in 2020, they found that a large number of people showed signs of having recovered from COVID despite the fact they never even realized they had it. In general, the vaccine less about protecting you -- unless you're elderly or have a compromised immune system -- than it is about protecting others by trying to control the spread. And the theory is that even though the vaccine will kill a certain number of people (and that number will be relatively low), those sacrifices will ensure the safety of everybody else. Which is a logical utilitarian argument, but it's not so great for those who die from the vaccine.

Incidentally, that's why we're having that huge push for teens right now. Very few teens have died from COVID (and iirc almost all of them had underlying conditions), but they're potential carriers. I mean, look at the PSAs -- they're very explicitly encouraging kids taking the vaccine to protect others.

And in general, you can probably expect several rounds of vaccines because the WHO completely mishandled the early infection -- effectively repeating CCP propaganda even while the CCP was locking up whistleblowing doctors (many of whom died from COVID in prison) -- and the international response has been the shits, and thus the virus has been able to mutate as it spread.
