Just looking at data from Norway...there have been 165,000 vaccines delivered and 22 deaths (under investigation for *possible* link to the vaccine). These deaths were among frail elderly. The deaths are *not* believed to be because of the direct effects of the vaccine. Any activation of the immune system can be an issue if you are very frail. 22 deaths out of 165,000 doses is equivalent to (at most) 1 death in 7500. The death rate from COVID is closer to 1 in 100. This makes COVID 75 times more lethal than the vaccine. That is assuming that the vaccine actually killed these 22. In terms of saying that "not everybody will get COVID" consider this. Do you know anybody who has never had the flu? COVID is with us to stay. It is highly infectious, airborne, and will continue to spread among those who don't get vaccinated. You can either get the vaccine or (eventually) get COVID (and then take your chances).
Now perhaps you just want to 'wait and see'. That's a rational approach and I respect that. However, don't let your guard down while you're waiting to see.
