Is it ok to be hesitant towards the Covid vaccine?
I feel that since it's not yet approved by FDA yet and it's been less than a year since it got created, it's still new and needs more trials. I'm very hesitant towards it and will not take it for the meantime, even if offered.
Secondly, in the past I've taken both the flu shot and chickenpox vaccine as a child. It did nothing. I still had a flu for a week and the full 2 weeks of chickenpox. It was the same as if I were to not take it. So I figure that the Covid vaccine isn't that much of a difference either. More than likely it isn't gonna protect me from Covid. What I'm doing is simply taking precautions, wear my mask if I need to go out and follow rules.
Yes I still had chickenpox as a child even after getting vaccinated. I still had to be out of school for 2 weeks.
Just because millions are taking it doesn't mean I gotta be another guinea pig.

Refusing the vaccine in the middle of a pandemic isn't being neutral-- 560K Americans who have died from COVID is the "side effect" of not getting the vaccine. Waiting another year means another year of risking death or serious illness from COVID. On the other hand, if you don't want the vaccine, 10 other ppl are fighting to get it. I have friends who drove to a vaccination center 150 miles away to get vaccinated. The scientists are in a no win situation. If they took 5 years to find a vaccine, ppl would say: "What the H took so long?" If they work fast, then they are viewed with jaundiced eyes. I am a lifelong Republican, wear a mask (long before a state mandate which came way too late imho) and got vaccinated.

Your doubts aren't unreasonable, but you're misinformed. The vaccines ARE approved by the FDA. They were developed based on 12 yrs of research towards a SARS/MERS vaccine, so the vaccine didn't just crop up out of the blue. Also, comparing viruses and/or vaccines is totally irrelevant-- might as well be comparing "apples and elephants." Just go get the jab... It's not going to harm you and it's our best chance of co trolling the outbreaks.

I'm low risk because I hardly go out, wear my KN95 and gloves when I do, have no company at home, so why should I risk taking the vaccine?
The CDC doesn't even know the short term effects of the vaccine, they just walked back saying the vaccinated can't spread the virus, so they don't know the long term effects either, imo.
A Colorado vaccine site shut down because so many were having reactions to the J&J vaccine. A medical person I know said her sister has such a severe reaction to that vaccine, she changed her mind about getting it.

STOP IT! The COVID vaccine have been taken by millions of people. You did not have chickenpox after getting the vaccine. People like you, who spread misinformation, are the reason Y/A is being shut down. Thanks- you've deprived a lot of us an important source of real information.
