>(That one, I can understand, if one of them specifically has a lower effective rate, higher rate of serious side-effects, etc.)

My POV is to doubt all vaccines until at least 2 months are gone (counted after 2. shot on double dosed vaccines) after at least 10 million people are vaccinated and then temper that doubt with own estimate of current risk vaccine should protect against.

As we go into summer, I am at the moment reluctant to take vector vaccines if offered. We over here are neither given choice on vaccine or time, EU bickering on price (and thereby priority and delivery) has put us in Socialist and bureocratic dream world., Still waiting to be offered Pfizer/Moderna, turned down "offered" AZ, while our politicians already are planning to send out 100 million doses to Japan for Olympic Games and more later to poor countries.

Big question might be if I am not offered one of Pfizer/Moderna until August and then might be offered choice between vector vaccine or freshly certified CureVac : also mRNA, but not having track record of many millions.

this gambler is betting €22 (has given a bit of thought to it...)
