Your argument would be more effective if you don't state it in such absolutist terms. Do you really believe that vaccines are so safe that anyone who has any doubts about their safety is anti-science? The science of immunology itself does not give you that level of certainty.
Here is a book on Vaccines and Auto-Immunity written by highly credentialed immunologists.

Would you call them anti-science?

In fact, there are many, many vaccine-related long-term injuries that are well-studied and were totally not detected until well after the fact.
In fact, there's an entire medical school textbook about it, if you want to really know, published by Wiley, called Vacines and Autommunity: https://www.amazon.com/Vaccines-Autoimmunity-Yehuda-Shoenfel...
The corporate press does everything possible to make it seem to the common person that vaccines are the very single medical technology that has zero side-effects and zero long-term safety issues, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
(Wiley is not some crazy conspiracy theory crap, they make legitimate textbooks for colleges everywhere.)
Not to mention, the question itself is biased. You should really ask, Is there any example of an entirely new medical technology (really, three, if you consider the LNP) which post-deployment caused long-term safety issues?
And that would be a resounding yes.
And, please again note, even knowing all I do about all those things and the dangers of vaccines, I still am more vaccinated than you, having taken, e.g., rabies vaccine, even knowing the not-insignificant risks involved.
However, there was a risk I'd catch and be injured by rabies.
There's almost zero risk I'll be injured by covid, lol.
I mean, as well, look at the injuries being caused by the vaccines: They happen to people like me, young and healthy. Covid only hurts the fat people my age. Why would I take the side of the risk that hurts people like me?
