The Inquirer published the following, regarding COVID-19 vaccines, December 18, 2020.
""The country’s first coronavirus vaccinations are now being distributed. The FDA granted the Pfizer vaccine emergency authorization for use, and it’s expected that soon, possibly by this week, it will do the same for the Moderna vaccine. In trials, the Pfizer vaccine was 95% effective in preventing COVID-19, and the Moderna vaccine stands at 94%, both significantly more effective than many scientists anticipated.
This is close to the gold standard of all vaccines, the measles vaccine,” says Eric Sachinwalla, medical director of Infection Prevention and Control at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia, noting that the MMR vaccine used to prevent measles is about 97% effective.
Both versions of the vaccine require two injections. With both
injections , your chances of getting infected with the coronavirus are
likely low. But even if you get vaccinated in the near future, experts
say it’ll be months until you can ditch the masks and hug everyone
around you."" Emphasis (underline) added.

It has been reported that some people have severe reactions after the injections, while some reports show that vital organs can be severely compromised, over long periods, or even permanently. At present, these later reports are no longer visible in cyberspace, it appears.
"10 minutes after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, a health care worker at a hospital in Alaska was rushed to the ER with a severe rash and shortness of breath. Doctors say she had no known previous reactions to medicines, unlike two people in the U.K. who also developed severe allergic reactions.
"COVID-19 (coronavirus): Long-term effects" by Mayo Clinic
The Mayo Clinic reports, "COVID-19 symptoms can sometimes persist for months. The virus can damage the lungs, heart and brain, which increases the risk of long-term health problems.
Most people who have coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recover completely within a few weeks. But some people — even those who had mild versions of the disease — continue to experience symptoms after their initial recovery.
These people sometimes describe themselves as "long haulers" and the condition has been called post-COVID-19 syndrome or "long COVID-19."
Older people and people with many serious medical conditions are the most likely to experience lingering COVID-19 symptoms, but even young, otherwise healthy people can feel unwell for weeks to months after infection. The most common signs and symptoms that linger over time include:
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Cough
- Joint pain
- Chest pain
Other long-term signs and symptoms may include:
- Muscle pain or headache
- Fast or pounding heartbeat
- Loss of smell or taste
- Memory, concentration or sleep problems
- Rash or hair loss"

One doctor, I know (Dr. John Day), said this:

This spreading mistrust is not good for business of course, therefore, I expect some forms of coercion to be introduced in the very near future. France's law, apparently, already provides for people refusing the vaccine, they cannot use public transportation.
The following was added 12/24/2020
The figure below shows the source being the FDA; it was published by ABC News.
I find it very curious that the Vaccines' effectiveness is shown as "Up to 95% Effective". This play on words tells me that the effectiveness of these vaccines is not always 95%. I would have expected, from a scientific organization (FDA), a statement saying, 'these vaccines are 95% (or other) effective at the 90% (or other) confidence level.' Up to 95% effective says very little, in my opinion.

Connell: Adjuvants May Play Key Role in COVID-19 Vaccine
"Published November 25, 2020
Agents that enhance the immune response to foreign molecules, called adjuvants, will likely play a role in developing a successful COVID-19 vaccine, according to Terry D. Connell, PhD, professor of microbiology and immunology."
http://medicine.buffalo.edu/news_and_events/news/2020/11/connell-adjuvants-covid-vaccine-12324.html
Thinking out loud, these 'Adjuvants' help the vaccine to achieve a greater immune response but may in some individuals be too much and thus trigger a higher than expected response, a response that can actually be very harmful to an individual's vital organs, because of an immune system gone out-of-control, attacking itself.
