"I don't know" is usually a legit answer, sure. I'm just trying to get to the heart of this concern. I'm sure you've taken other drugs in your life that were relatively new to the market. Rhetorically, if something's been around for a year, is that enough? Two years? Five? Ten?
And why limit it to vaccines? Do we really know the long-term effects of any number of things we're putting into our bodies, or exposing them to on a daily basis?
What are the chances of death from vaccination?
It's estimated to be about 1 in a million, maybe less depending on the vaccine. It's hard to quantify. But we have statistics for other causes of death that are MUCH more terrifying than vaccine threats, yet we go about our lives regardless:

Do we think about 1 in 106 chance of dying in a car crash and never drive again? Some do, but not most.
All the way at the bottom is airplane passenger, yet people like me have irrational fears about it. I'll do it if I have to but I WON'T be happy. I understand.
Point being, I and millions of others see this tech as scientific progress while others see uncertainty and threat. I'm just hoping this concern doesn't "go viral" itself and undermine immunization efforts out of some statistically unlikely outcome.
