It's not flawless. But the point is not that it is flawless or that it should be (because, I don't think such a complex process can ever be). The point is that it gives you the best possible result as of now. Meaning, you have the highest chance for survival/avoiding a permanent health damage (which COVID can cause too) is taking an EMA/FDA approved vaccine.

> but many people who are wary are often put in a corner of conspiracy theorists and I don't think this is fair.

I think think this happens for at least two reasons. First, they are often simply conspiracy theorists who just try to phrase their thoughts in a way that doesn't seem like conspiracy theory at first. I've talked to a lot of people (mostly online) and I can tell you that it happens a lot. And the same people will start the same conversations again and again along the same patterns, pretending they are not conspiracy theorists or anti-vaxxers for that matter but go down the same path and show themselves if you engage in a discussion.

Second, because of the above phenomenon, some people will just jump to the conclusion that anyone who raises concerns are indeed conspiracy theorists. (Again, because a lot of them will pretend that they are indeed sane people having sane questions.) It's not ideal, but not surprising either.
