I live in an Eastern European country where this is unfortunately not a purely medical, but partly a political question as well. The pandemic handling our government has implemented is very untransparent.
They made it very unclear which vaccine they ordered from. There were some statements that indicated the Russian one. I would gladly take any of the "Western" vaccines, but I do not really trust that the Russian or the Chinese ones work at all. I would rather choose medicine based on science, not politics.
We have a website where we can pre-apply for vaccination by filling a form with personal information (gov id, social security number etc). Nobody knows what the purpose of this registration is, because supposedly we already have a vaccination plan that would allow anyone to be vaccinated. A few days ago it turned out that the data entered to this website is handled by a shady company that supplied software for the last election and has close ties to the governing party.
The government has already been caught lying about many covid-realted issues, if my choices are "blindly doing what they tell" or not doing anything, then a "no" answer might be the lesser bad choice.
