The mRNA vaccines testing (prior to Covid vaccines) were tested on animals, and frequently there was a 100% death rate on reinfection. This is because mRNA vaccines create a strong inflammatory immune response (type 1 microphage) but the natural anti-inflammatory response (type 2 microphages) is suppressed due to the nature of the process, this results in a hyper inflammatory immune response that kills or damages the patient, even from a non-target virus (basically it destroys natural immune function and makes you more susceptible to pathogens). This actually has historically happened with some standard vaccines that were not tested to specific ethnic and age groups, which had disastrous results to those specific groups.
Animal testing was somehow bypassed from normal safety testing protocols for the Phizer mRNA vaccine. At least there was no animal testing data submitted (there's always a chance some testing was internally done and the results suppressed, but given the history of animal testing results they most likely decided to skip that step). Of course you can justify not doing such testing, this is why science is not absolute, but merely a practice where the acceptability of conclusions is from consensus of institutional groups.
All the above can be researched, although some may choose to call it conspiracy theories, it is actually part of the historical record, you just need to find the direct sources. Unfortunately the pharma industry has a wide financial reach, and can afford to influence 3rd party reporting sources.
Edit: I'm not inferring that the vaccines will behave as described in the 1st paragraph, but it is a tangible possibility which is why risk should be assessed on an individual basis, i.e. discernement.
