There is a reluctance to try something new, especially by big Pharma since the threat from American lawyers to SUE over a few bad cases. They fear people like Saxi will sit on the jury, not understand the Science, and fears new biomedical technology.
Drug patents expire after seven years. Pharma must continuously be coming up with new drugs in order to produce revenue for their shareholders. Pfizer alone has patented 192 drugs. Pharma can't just sit on new drugs and never release them or they'd go out of business. So I reject the notion that pharma are reluctant to try new things.
When a company that has released nearly 200 drugs sits on a new formulary process for three decades and only releases it after a new law is written prohibiting them from being sued no matter what - no matter even if everyone who takes it has all their organs spontaneously liquify at the one-year mark ... well, everyone is more than welcome to be the first in line to take that drug. I'll just chill over here and see how it goes first.

I want to know if saxi gets the flu vaccine or ANY vaccine.
I have had the hepatitis A/B, typhoid, tdap, varicella, and malaria vaccines.
I have never got the flu vaccine, nor have I had the flu in my adult life.
If I were to ever see any benefit to the COVID-19 vaccine, I would get the Johnson & Johnson one, but I see no benefit since - as mentioned - it is scientifically true that I'm 22% more likely to die from the J&J vaccine than from COVID-19. Under almost no circumstance would I get the Moderna or Phizer vaccines until Phase 4 trials were complete, 3-5 years from now. At that point, I would probably be willing to get them.
