Well, that's the third option of "lockdown" and "hospitals overwhelmed by dying people". Both of which are also bad.

And almost all of us have had our vaccinations for the common diseases, in childhood or as adults for travel purposes.

And many of us are tired: tired of lockdown, tired of unsubstantiated nonsense on social media, tired of anti-vaxers, and tired of worrying whether someone we know will suffer severe consequences from this disease (I know many people in the "vulnerable" category, and a couple who've already experienced severe symptoms despite being young).

So you’re projecting your wishes onto others ?

The trials of this vaccine aren’t even over, we don’t know if it stops the spread or for how long it’s effects last.

When it comes to medicine, science and civil rights it can’t be about emotions.

I’m likely to end up taking a vaccine, but I don’t want to be forced to against my will because others want me too. I also think it’s important the results of the trial are properly assessed when completed.

This whole, “just f*^king take the vaccine already” attitude being forced down our throats is the idiotic, reactionary view to me.
