Safety testing is done in preclinical and phase 1 testing. They wouldn't be injecting something unsafe into 30,000 people. Phase 3 is mostly about efficacy.
I believe that, in different conditions, we should reasonably ask that more people be tested over a longer period of time.
But Covid is wracking absolute havoc on people's health, on the economy, and on everyone's lives. Personally, I plan to take the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine as soon as it is available. There are associated risks -- but in my estimation, they are not as bad as the risks of Covid infection or the downsides of continued social isolation.
