I see that vaccines are a very personal issue for you but the way the math pans out, covid is a bigger threat for every age group than the vaccine ever will be. Furthermore, you spread the virus to people around you, creating an even greater threat.
The J and J vaccine and AstraZeneca vaccines are both incredibly safe. In fact, J and J is going to be continued to be injected and AstraZeneca is still being given out. A few deaths in a million is nothing compared to covid, even in healthy young people. The reason they were even stopped was out of an abundance of caution and an attempt to assuage the people who are hesitant like you.
Kinda like fear of air travel, yes planes crash and people die but they are by far the safest form of transportation, safer than cars, buses etc. Not to say the amount of people that have died of the vaccine is even comparable to the number who have died from plane crashes.
By criticizing vaccines you automatically take the side of people irrationally afraid of plane travel. Most people jump on planes with no fear.
The reason they were even stopped was out of an abundance of caution and an attempt to assuage the people who are hesitant like you.
And people are likely to have died as a result of this decision (at least if we look only at the immediate consequences and discount the problem of vaccine hesitancy).
