Any attempt at evidence would be a start?

2. A link to a source is provided, say a doctor or a statistician. When the professional is researched they always it seems end up with dubious reputations and a history of discredited practices.
So what I would like to know is, is there any actual evidence that isn't about some unknown friend or from a professional without a history of strange beliefs?

So I have been following the anti vax on and off for some time. On the face of it it seems potentially dangerous to inject a vaccine that has been developed so quickly, so I'm interested in information from all sides.
I find anti vac arguments come in 2 ways.
1. The first is anecdotal evidence. By this I mean someone posts about their friend/cousin relative etc who wasn't well after the vaccine. There are millions even billions of people vaccinated and one or two personal examples cannot affect the statistical numbers vaccinated.

67.6% of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
12.57 billion doses have been administered globally, and 5.1 million are now administered each day.
Only 20.9% of people in low-income countries have received at least one dose.

And then there's folks like me who go, "Thanks but no thanks. End of discussion", and are hounded for whys for it. How about you do not need further explanation, I already said NO. Now enough.
Unless No & it's variations no longer actually mean no, which opens up a big context can of worms here for the concept of No, doesn't it?

Yes. I am forming the conclusion that anti vax is nothing more than... something to do on the internet.
I mean if someone doesn't want to take the vaccine it's fine it's a personal choice but to post/speak to their friends disinformation is well ... their conscience if they want to frighten people.
Yes there are some actual risks, like 15 in every 1 million people developing blood clots, but the damage full blown covid can do is far greater for many if not all than this very unlikely side affect.
