It is interesting to learn about the public opinion on this issue.
I propose a recount (redo the poll) now that the leading vaccines to be available in the US are likely to be based on MRNA technology.
The public's concern about rushing development seems to have been alleviated, perhaps in part by the FDA adding stringency of 60 days surveillance to provide approval, and with the election (mostly) out of the way. The use of MRNA technology now seems to be primary source of concern (presumably in part due to a lack of understanding of microbiology).
One irony is the deep concerns around undetected long-term vaccine side-effects among those who were relatively dismissive about such risks as it relates to getting COVID-19 (which, as I understand it effectively produces the same RNA in these vaccines). Maybe a poll on whether you think there is greater risk of long-term side-effects in contracting COVID-19 vs. taking the RNMA vaccine.
Interestingly anti-vaccination opinions are positively correlated with republican political leaning and lower education levels (even pre-covid).

Obviously the risk reward trade-off varies across the population. e.g. reports say 39% of COVID deaths occurred in long-term care facilities, even as that population represents only 1% of the overall population, so I would guess that's a population with a relatively favorable risk/reward trade-off, by all measures.
