Consider that if your family member is an ordinary person they'll think you're crazy if you express any skepticism about this thing. Also consider that if they didn't explicitly ask for your advice they may not want it and may be openly hostile to it.
After a WuFlu discussion with my parents turned into a rather heated argument I decided that I was done trying to advise them on this thing at all. No mention of prophylaxis, no vaccine skepticism, no lockdown skepticism, no mask skepticism, nothing. Because they won't listen to me about anything the TV has told them is bad, and all it does is damage our relationship.
At that point it becomes a risk management exercise: there's a much higher probability that if I express skepticism our relationship being so irreparably damaged that we cut each other out of our lives than the vaccine causing irreparable harm to them.
They took the vaccine (I don't know which one); fortunately they haven't suffered any side effects.
