[Question - Other] Might get Vaccine but Mom is Hesitant

This is kinda complicated, but I would appreciate some advice. The last time I got a vaccine was when I was 5 or 6. I'm almost 21 now and I've been looking to other perspectives. I was raised to believe vaccines are dangerous and to never get one ever. I'm an adult now so I feel I have the responsibility to educate myself on matters that outside my familiarity. I am on the fence when it comes to vaccination, and part of that is from side effects that have affected my family, and my own ingrained fear around vaccines and needles in general. I'm 20, completely healthy. I've been researching the Covid-19 vaccine and the ingredients don't really worry me. My mom told me she would rather die than me receive it, and to wait at least a year to get it to see how long term effects pan out. One of the things she is worried about is that it will make me infertile or cause permanent damage to my health. She say so out of love and wanting to protect me and my family, (so please don't attack in the comments, just looking for an open discussion). How could I approach this? If I did get one, it would be in May, so I have until then to think about it. She sends me some of her "research", which is mainly some kinda doctors and other's videos from Facebook mainly. If I did, I may not tell her until I get married, and have a healthy baby as proof the vaccine didn't hurt me or my fertility. I know the healthcare industry isn't perfect, has flaws, and people have been wronged by it (ie Tuskegee study, AIDS epidemic, Essure, etc.) So I don't think mistrust in the system is unfounded. I just want to be able to view it through the lens of objective truth and make the best decision for myself.
