And what is the alternate reality where they don’t get the vaccine and also don’t ever get covid?
Some sickness and pain is going to happen, is a choice between minor, temporary side effects or gambling with a covid infection. The virus is not going anywhere.

There are more people vaccinated than infected generally, so what they see around them are young people in pain for maybe weeks from the vaccine, and the media not being transparent about those side effects, while the alternative media blowing up the side effects and negledging the real problems that COVID causes.
As you get older you accept that sickness and pain is a sad part of life, but young people aren't used to even small amount of sickness.
Your thinking just emphasises not having empathy to people being afraid of even small amount of pain.
Also again you write mRNA and not emphatize with people who get AstraZeneca vaccine which has higher side effects. We have to acknowledge these things and be more open about having a tradeoff.
