It's a problem that will sort itself out naturally given time. The process is working as it's supposed to work. It would be a much worse cause for concern if a vaccine had been fully approved without following the due process. And it would also be concerning if we had no temporary emergency approval as we'd basically be stuck with the pandemic for years.

Not many people want to be guinea pigs. But the question mostly only makes sense for those who get to be vaccinated now, meaning elderly, sick and health care people. Would I take the vaccine if I were old enough? I don't know, but I guess I would, in spite of the small risk.

I'm not going to argue about what's the biggest and/or most urgent issue. My point is just that the vaccination certificates are a big can of worms that has now been opened and will not be closed any time soon.
