The only reason there is fear is because people keep posting stories like these without putting them into context.
It has been clear for a while now that the Pfizer vaccine works and is safe. Just because Pfizer has chosen to keep collecting data doesn't make that there is any doubt about that. This is also why control groups have been given the option to get vaccinated too. It would be highly questionable to prevent them from getting vaccinated when we know that some of them might die without the vaccine.
And Pfizer doesn't "make" 1.9b of 100m doses. They might have 1.9b in revenue but producing the vaccines isn't free. And 1.9b is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the savings we have already seen thanks to the vaccine.
