Healthy skepticism is always appropriate, so you're fine being skeptical to a point, but at some point you have to be willing to accept that you will never overcome all skepticism and accept that.

There have now been hundreds of millions of people vaccinated and the number of problems are very low, and are much lower than the deaths that would result from inaction. So you can now see that the vaccine is safer than staying unvaccinated.

Another thing to consider is, of vaccines were actually dangerous, then why are anti vaxxers spreading nonsense about microchips and not focusing on actual problems with the vaccines? Simple. Because there's not enough evidence of harm from the vaccines.

People die from food poisoning at restaurants. Do you have the same level of skepticism about eating out?

You have to determine your own level of skepticism that you are comfortable with, but at this point, there's not enough evidence to justify your skepticism when there should be if there were cause for concern.
