Big Pharma is the least-trusted industry in America (backed up by polls) and constantly faces lawsuits.

Despite many of us having a 99.99% chance of surviving Covid.
People can downplay the side effects/deaths we've seen to this point, but no one has the slightest clue about longterm effects. Pretending that we do is far dumber than taking a wait and see approach.

The rushed thing has been dismantled over and over. And yeah, they face lawsuits of FDA approved stuff that goes through long trials (5 years, IIRC), so I'm not sure what "rushed" has to do with it... they will most likely get approved and we would most likely not know about long term side effects for years.
And we're at 350 million doses given in the US and ~7-8 months in, so not exactly first in line at this point.
In theory, we should all wait 20 years, or at least 5-10... I mean, if nothing has happened in 6+ months, a year or two probably won't be significant either.
End of the day, I don't care any longer.... if people don't feel like there's a great option to protect themselves and the mask mandates don't help the hospitals in the hotspots, then unvaccinated people should stay home so those areas don't have to lockdown completely.
Everything else at this point is just noise because none of us have any control over future lockdowns, but we all know what will cause the next one.

Richard M Carpiano, PhD, a professor of public policy at University of California, Riverside, said part of the opposition to vaccine passports stems from many Americans not being used to thinking about what’s best for the community versus the individual.
“A lot of times [the discussion about mandates] gets spun as ‘I should be able to do whatever I want,’ but that’s really not the basis of our social contract in this country, which is: ‘You’re free to do things that you want, provided that they don’t harm other people,’” he said.
