> don't know what a vaccine is going to do for me (at this junction in time, maybe T+12 months will be different lets see what the science says)

We do know what a vaccine does, especially in the case of viral vectors(they’ve been around for decades). What specifically seems to be unknown?

Can you provide a reference to a single viral vector vaccine with widespread usage prior to this year?

I’m talking about viral vector as a delivery method. And you’re talking about testing a COVID-19 vaccine, right? Of course there’s none. But there’s no way to do a long-term testing of a particular COVID-19 vaccine. By the time you finish the study it’s going to be too late. So if someone says “But a vaccine hasn’t been studied long enough!” they just propose to not vaccinate at all and rely on lockdowns/post-illness immunity. However, we’ve got sufficient knowledge about the mechanism of the used vaccines to say they’re sufficiently safe.

I'm not talking about just COVID-19 vaccines, I am talking about any vaccine that uses viral vector as a delivery method.
