I think I don't get the objections at this stage; AZ and mRNA have been trialled in real life on millions of people now.
I think the argument that is commonly used against this is that in normal times, a new vaccine would still be 3+ years away from being approved for small scale clinical trials. Being in the arms of hundreds of millions of people for a few months is not the same as the thick end of a decade of cautious and progressively larger clinical trials.
The fact remains though that any unidentified side effects of the vaccines are very unlikely to be worse than not taking the vaccine...which is why I assume most people are happy to have them. Including me. Its still a (very low risk) gamble though.

How long has science been experimenting with mRNA method to deliver immunity?
No idea about the AZ.

AZ: Miniscule bloot clot disk, NHS has treatment protocol
Pfizer mRNA Miniscule risk of heart lining inflammation.
Covid: Death rate may not be so bad if you are under 0 but enjoy your long covid ... 2 million suffers in the UK alone.
At this stage of vaccination I can't help but wonder when real life data is good enough to stop worrying about "emergency authorisation"
Diseases are fate (sort of, I'm simplifying but many seem to want to see it that way) vaccination is an active choice. I think this "young people don't die let's unlock" really doesn't help... and perhaps if you are younger you feel invincible.
If anything I want Pfizer next as AZ is a ballicks of feeling crap for 2 days for mme though that may be my bad tempered innate immune system😁
