I think it is an illusion to believe the COVID-vaccines are anything else then well researched. Firstly the entire brainpower of the most advanced medical systems in history had this as their number one priority at least since the pandemic — I am not a medical expert, but other medical experts would have brought forth reasonable doubts. So far all doubts by medical personal came by people who don't work in the field or phrased it as gut feeling, not as hard statistical facts or even annectdotal evidence.
Also: over 8.120.000.000 doses have been administered worldwide. If there would have been conaiderable side effects, even the rarest of the rarest ones would have shown up by now. The idea that there are delayed effects showing up after years is a myth that stems from a misunderstanding of the word "long term side effects". The long term here doesn't mean the effects show up after a long term. It means the effects show up nearly immidiately, but came to stay long term.
Any society has to weigh the right of its citizens. If a mass murderer kills a ton of people, he breaks others rights to a high enough level that the state can harm their rights by jailing them. If a person doesn't vaccinate (which in practise does no harm to them besides a little sting, as we know now) they also impact the rights of others: the rest of society has to stay home in lockdowns, businesses have to close, they potentially block the health system and endager themselves and other people, etc.
From a state perspective that has to balance these rights the decision is clear.
