BUT, vaccine hesitancy is a reasonable response. The Pfizer mRNA vaccine had a phase 3 of 44,000 participants. That is 22k actual non-placebo doses. Extrapolating safety based on 22k doses when applied to 330 million Americans may result in significant unintended consequences. Look at drugs like Vioxx that had full and lengthy testing on the way to FDA approval. It wasn't until mass use that the cardiovascular side effects became apparent and the drug was pulled.
Also, in my mind is an issue of quality control. If there is a safe and effect vaccine, might there still be quality issues as they race to produce tens of millions of doses that require strict tolerances to be viable?
Finally, there are multiple vaccines being developed. As a health care consumer, don't I have the right to wait to pick the one with the best efficacy / least adverse reactions profile?
I would encourage anyone who wants a vaccine to step right up. I (and most of the MDs and DOs I talk to) think it is prudent to wait a bit.
