So who are those people who are only cautious about the COVID-19 vaccine? How should we call them? I am personally cautious of COVID-19 vaccines because of quick time of development, and financial incentives everywhere, but most importantly, because it would poke my immune system which usually results in flare-ups in my case, and I would like to avoid flare-ups. Plus, I very rarely go outside, so I do not pose a risk to anyone, nor am I able to catch it from anyone. That said, I have been quarantined with a COVID-19 positive person for 2 weeks or so. He was asymptomatic, and I had no symptoms at all either, although no clue if I ever got it from him. I am also in a more or less safe age group. Those are my reasons for passing. Sounds fair, or am I a conspiracy theorist? I do not mind vaccines. I got a hepatitis B vaccine a couple of years ago, twice, and I would not mind getting it again if I have to. I got all the other mandatory vaccines, too, when I was a kid. I do not think that it was a mistake.

Sounds like common sense to me. But you can't argue for views like that in polite society - you'll be howled down by a crowd of people who believe the doctrine of "herd immunity" applies to leaky vaccines that wear off after three months.
