Is there any chance of you moving away from scaremongering and onto intelligent debate about the subject?

I'm having to shield as i'm extremely vulnerable to the effects of the coronavirus, so a safe and effective vaccine would allow me to leave the house i've been effectively imprisoned in since last March.
I'm neither pro nor against the vaccines, but I need to be sure that they are safe before having one. I am severely disabled as it is, so don't want anything that could potentially make this worse. If anything should happen, I may not be able to sue the manufacturer and may not be able to claim anything from the Government to help with the extra costs of worsened disability. Then there is the human cost and this scares me.
Most vaccines are fine, but this is the Government list of vaccines that were thought to be ok, but turned out to be problematic:
diphtheria
haemophilus influenzae type B (HIB)
human papillomavirus
influenza, except for influenza caused by a pandemic influenza virus
measles
meningococcal group B (meningitis B)
meningococcal group C (meningitis C)
meningococcal group W (meningitis W)
mumps
pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 (swine flu) - up to 31 August 2010
pertussis (whooping cough)
pneumococcal infection
poliomyelitis
rotavirus
rubella (German measles)
smallpox - up to 1 August 1971
tetanus
tuberculosis (TB)
