Sorry, there is no source because there simply isn't any long term data. You're not going to find any information that's credible because it doesn't exist yet. Short term it does appear to be safe. Side effects are minimal (flu like symptoms for a day or so). Long term still remains to be seen. There is zero evidence that it causes infertility (I'm assuming that this what concerns you), but there's no evidence yet that it doesn't.

As far as the claim that vaccinated people can still spread the virus, not sure that this is true. It refers to the concept of asymptomatic spread, but for some reason it seems to only apply to covid and not to other viruses that spread via respiratory droplets, such as influenza. Is it a way to keep us all in masks? Don't know. So if you don't want the vaccine, use the asymptomatic spread line against them. If it doesn't protect your grandparents from you, why get the vaccine. Personally, I am not vaccinated and will not be any time soon. I had covid a year ago. When I visit my elderly grandparents (between 88 and 100 years old) I wear a real and fresh N95 mask. Not the Chinese KN95 garbage either.

The claims of infertility are what scare me the most. And since the vaccine has only been available since October we’re still in the “short term” observation. I’m only 23, I have my whole life ahead of me, and my gf and I eventually want to get married and have kids. Can’t have kids if the propaganda vaccine turns us infertile. And neither of us are against getting vaccinated, we just want to make sure that it’s perfectly safe. The fact that it was rushed to completion when we know relatively little about the virus itself, and how political the left made the virus and vaccination, makes us both more than apprehensive to get it. Something doesn’t smell right, and until we see the LT effects, we’re not going near it

This is 100% my sentiment. I don't have any reason to believe the infertility aspect, but this was rushed into mass distribution without the standard long term testing. Which I don't actually oppose as long as it's on a voluntary basis. If 140 million people want to be Guinea pigs, more power to them. What I have a serious problem with is that the drug companies are indemnified of all claims and lawsuits, the vaccines are being pushed by the political and medical (sometimes a distinction without a difference) communities as being safe without the complete set of data. We're not being up front with out patients, drug companies can't be held responsible, and that is where my problem lies.
