Accidents happen, and they can also be prevented. Just look at how many needless lives the Opioid Epidemic alone has taken! Far more than Covid! How many needless lives and families destroyed by overconsumption and overprescription of Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson drugs etc...
The vaccine companies should be interested in maximizing safety and minimizing risk. And being transparent about the costs to the benefits — and open about their fallibility and limited data, instead of desperately in denial. It would actually put many hesitant people get over the fence. And it would give the companies a chance to improve their product. Moving forward.
And above all being from a conservative site, you of all people should be interested in individualism. Some vaccine regimens should be individualized and not just indiscriminately streamlined for the sake of bureaucratic conformity. In Germany, young people only get one dose. And in many countries, those who’ve had Covid already either are not required to get shots or are also given just one dose.

I can’t argue with that.
But if they do as you say, will they be believed?
Will their openness throw a log on the fire of vaccines debates?
I keep reminding myself, here at FR we all agree on more things than we disagree on.
I think I’m Sheathing my Vaccine Sword.
Have a great day. Good post. Good ideas.
