You can share your concerns with about the vaccine (and you should) but ultimately people are going to make their own choices. Personally, I wouldn't take an experimental mRNA vaccine that has never been tested on humans long term for a virus with a 99.9% survival rate (for my age) but part of bodily freedom is that people are free to make their own medical decisions. Some of my family members and friends have taken or will take the vaccine, and that's their prerogative. If the topic comes up I tell them my reasons for not taking the vaccine but I can't forcibly alter their position.

I agree, but it's annoying when they consistently insist that you are wrong when they don't even have sufficient evidence to imply otherwise, and if it did exist they don't even use it to justify their position because they rarely look into it themselves. It's like their main justification is the fact that everybody else believes/does X thing, which is why they do it too. Her getting the vaccine was just the cherry on top.
