The thing that bug me about antivaxxers is their idiocy. Even if they were right, what's worse: autism or having to live with an iron lung because you weren't vaccinated for polio.
That said, as for getting the Covid vaccine... I've delt with enough buyer's remorse to know that early adoption is for bullshit Apple fags who MUST get the latest device because "Keeping up with the Jones's" social pressures make them want to get it before everyone else does. I dont always need to get a new phone right away every 2 years.
The problem is, so much about getting the vaccine reeks of consumer culture. "You NEED the latest vaccine! Get the vaccine before your friends do! We have your choice of five different vaccines! J&J, AstraZeneca, Samsung... you name it, we've got it! Offer valid while supplies last." ... "What, you dont have the latest vaccine yet? What's wrong with you??"
I'll get the vaccine, but I'm gonna wait until v2.1 comes out. Yknow, when its 5x more powerful, 2x more efficient, covers 5 variations, and only requires one shot. Why get it now when I can wait a bit (especially since I have no problems with wearing a mask) and get the BETTER vaccine later? Maybe they'll even PAY me to get it!

So like, I get the better vaccine AND $100? And you impatient suckers rushed to get the worse vaccine for free??
