I've seen a lot of reasons for not getting the vaccine, but I've become over-saturated with information so when someone asks why I don't want it I don't know what answer will satisfy them. Also I am terrible at giving arguments. What is something so undeniable you can show to other people? Maybe even convince them not to get the vaccine themselves?

I try to avoid explaining it.
For an official work explanation, I went the religious route (which is entirely true but it's not something I discuss with anyone other than my closest friends) and I just hope it won't be publicized.
For a more personal explanation to someone I remotely trust, I explain my previous vax injuries and that I'm not going to corrupt my immune system with further applications of something that is likely to harm me. Most people are surprised to meet someone that knows they were vax injured - I was 17, so it was obvious to me and my mom. Most damage seems to be with very young children who can't talk about it or remember what it was like before the damage. Ever since it happened to me and I fought with doctors and the like, I have done a ton of research but I don't discuss that part unless they are truly curious. In that case I can recommend a couple of books and YouTube videos that aren't just rants.
I am also a huge believer in autonomy. Everyone should be able to decide for themselves without mandates or coercion what goes in their body. It was one of the thing I looked forward to most when I turned 18 and became an 'adult.' I had control of what therapies and medications and the like.
